Redskins Sign Shaun Alexander (Merge) *updated*

I use to dread watching this guy run against us. But I mean I love this move. I hope Zorn uses him to his full potential again. Does anyone remember if this guy can catch?


since he's a former league mvp,i'm pretty sure he can do it all very well.

he can catch. i don't think he fumbles much, but has the potential to be soft. Remember when the Skins knocked him out early in the 2005 playoff game? I think what probably hurt SA besides nagging injuries was the loss of that stud tackle Seattle let go to Minn. Can't remember his name right now...but it seemed like SA had his biggest decline once dude was gone.

Steve Hutchinson and he is a guard

we should sign marcus mason off the ravens practice squad.


My thoughts exactly. We should have never let him go. I knew a situation like this would come up. I even stated it before. What happens if Betts or CP goes down. Who is going to back them up. Cartwright..??

Cartwright needs to step up his returns and special teams play. Everyone was hailing him the capt of the Special teams and his vaulable experience. How many kicks have we had ran back on us so far. We should ahve primed someone else for returns and kept Mason..I got kicked off extremeskins for argueing with a dude about this. I got pissed off because he kept throwing up stats that were irrelevant about Rock. Is Mson on thier practice squad or final roster?

He says he's been working out in Washington (state I assume) with an Olympic trainer and is in GREAT shape and 100% healthy finally. If this is true, look out, this could be fun to watch.

We didn't let him go, he didn't MAKE THE TEAM. He was given plenty of chances to.

I like this move. It's very low risk, high reward for the Skins.

How are the returns that have been taken back on us Rock's fault?

It was a number crunch. Had nothing to do with his performance in whole. There for we let him go by not signing him. Because we wanted to have depth at other positions. Not that he couldn't be useful to us..say if one of our RBs got hurt....

But i forgot he played so horribly. He didn't convert a couple of 3rd conversions and had a fumble on a return. But other than that he played well enough to make the team. But we were in dire need of depth at LB and on the D Line. Not to menion keeping a hurt receiver on the roster. Who can't stay healthy enough to play in one game.

If he had played well enough, we would not have cut him. If he can't do it against the watered-down preseason rosters, we wouldn't need him in the regular season.
