FRISCO, Texas -- Alfred Morris wont be trying to prove the Redskins wrong when the Dallas running back faces his former team for the first time Sunday.The affable veteran looks forward to renewing acquaintances in Washington, including his old quarterback, and doesnt sit around wondering how a team could give up on him just two years after he was one of the NFLs most productive players over his first two seasons.I know people are like, `You say that, Morris said, anticipating the reaction in the middle of his answer. But its not cliche. This is me being me. I never had to feel like I had to prove anything. I feel like if I have to try to do that, then I wouldnt be being myself.Any other week, Morris will pull for the Washington running game, not revel in how badly it struggles, such as in the season-opening loss to Pittsburgh.And he sent Kirk Cousins a text telling him to make sure to have fun before the first game that they werent in the Redskins backfield together. Thats what he used to tell him in the locker room.Morris is also looking forward to seeing the stadium workers in Washington after forming special bonds with some of them. If he cant see them for dinner Saturday night, hell touch base before the game, just as he used to.In other words, no hard feelings, even though Morris always hoped to spend his career with one team.A lot of people think theyre bigger than the game or `That wont happen to me, Morris said.I accept what it is. They had a different plan. I wasnt a part of that. Im moving on, but I still have the opportunity to keep my dream alive and playing this game as long as I can. It happened to be with a rival team.Morris, whose numbers slipped after Jay Gruden replaced Mike Shanahan as coach, said the Cowboys were a late entry among teams pursuing him in free agency.And the fifth-year back has often said he didnt regret his choice even after Dallas chose Ezekiel Elliott fourth overall in the draft.At that time, Darren McFadden also was healthy after leading the Cowboys in rushing last season. When McFadden broke an elbow in a household accident, the early season plan became clear: Elliott starting, and Morris backing him up.The opening 20-19 loss to the New York Giants was the first time in 65 games that Morris didnt start.Alfred will handle his business like a pro, no matter what happens, Gruden said. He handled his exit here like a pro. He handled being No. 2 there like a pro. Hes going to be a pro no matter how you cut it. Thats the type of guy he is.Morris was the most efficient Dallas back in the opener with seven carries for 35 yards, a 5-yard average. Elliott averaged half that in 20 carries. But it doesnt change Morris answer about his role.Like I always say whether I have one carry or 100 carries, it doesnt matter, said Morris, who ran for nearly 3,000 yards in his first two seasons with the Redskins, making the Pro Bowl both times. I got good work, better than what some backups get, and thats OK with me.Most of Morris production in Washington came with Robert Griffin III at quarterback, particularly their rookie season together in 2012 when the Redskins beat Dallas in the regular-season finale with a playoff berth on the line, highlighted by Morris career-best 200 yards rushing.But Morris formed a bond with Cousins that endures, with their wives remaining close as well.Phenomenal teammate, Cousins said. Never made it about himself and hes a guy who Ill be a friend with for life. Ill be watching him and following his success the rest of his career.Game notesG Ron Leary (groin) was listed as a full participant in practice after being limited before the opener. ...

But it actually does make it easier for us to dive because normally, when youre spinning, its difficult to see which way is up when the sky and water are both blue.So when its green, it does make it slightly easier. Its nice and warm, too.Goodfelloow was equally unconcerned.dddddddddddd.Weve been told by the doctors its safe, so Im sure it wont affect any of the diving events, he said.Water is water, isnt it? So its not going to affect our dives. The main thing is it wont make us ill.Reflecting on Mondays bronze medal in Rio, Goodfellow admits their achievement is yet to really sink in.It was emotional on the night, as people could see from the photographs of us and the big bomb into the pool. We were over the moon and so happy with how it went.Our hard work paid off. Its a bit of a relief, too. But on the whole it hasnt quite sunk in yet.He added: Weve only been diving together since last October, whereas some of the other teams in the competition who have been medalling since 2012 and even before that.So considering weve only spent 10 months working together, winning a medal in every competition weve done is really good. Its a combination of good teamwork and support from those around us. ' ' '
