Shaun Alexander to the Redskins

PhillyLion82 · 10-15-2008, 08:12 AM

ESPN - With backup Betts injured, Redskins bring in ex-Seahawks RB Alexander - NFL

A soldi move if Shaun has kept his weights and fitness up to par... It's been a while for him and there will be an adjustment there I'm sure... Still, I think they could have done a lot worse as far as damage control is concerned...

I am hoping the Skins can now keep moving the ball in the 4th quarter with the running game so we can finish teams off. I think it was a good move as well.

Eh, his best years are behind him... so I'm not going to expect anything amazing out of him. Good solid back up yes, but I rather have Betts in there. He doesn't get enough credit.

Portis is questionable for Sunday's game vs Cowboys. Does that mean we will see Alexander start?

I checked the Redskins RB depth chart and Alexander was 4th string with Portis being Questionable, and Betts out. I'd say a good posibility of Alexander getting some action sunday.

If Shaun Alexander comes anywhere near the field it's going to be a dark Sunday for the 'Skins.

Ha... last I looked he had one carry for 8 yards.. there is not updated news on how many minutes he has spent warming the bench for the Skins.

I just don't understand how an MVP player like Alexander, can come back from retirement, to what?!?!?! The Redskins?!?!?!?
Can somebody please make of some sense to this....?
How could he not retire as a Seahawk?
