Good acquisition IMO, he might no longer be an every-down back but as someone to take a bit of the load off Portis, and the added bonus of no real character issues, this could pay off for the Skins...

And he was signed.

I really don't know why. They have ladell betts and clinton portis, not to mention shaun sucks.

The only reason he was ever good was because seattle had a strong O-Line. I could've ran between those blocks. Shaun was a horrid back and he will have no success there.

Betts is out on injury and they also signed the former punter of the Seahawks and Mike Green as well.

Yeah, the old connection with jim zorn.

I remember plackemeier. He fumbled the snap, then kicked the ball backwards on accident trying to recover it, then aaron stecker got it for a TD. I was at that game. :x

Even the new guy we signed to replace him isn't playing so hot. Meh. If we hadn't drafted a fullback we don't use, a kicker we don't use, and a long-snapper that we don't use... :|

Well injuries happened anyway. Alexander might be at 100% health to play to his abilities which he wasn't in the last two seasons like L.T. is now.
