Redskins Sign Shaun Alexander (Merge) *updated*

Bring back the Wishbone Formation to the NFL! Portis, Betts, Alexander! LOL.

Can't believe the Redskins are signing this guy after his 05 season. With that said his 12 year old highlight film looks pretty solid.

zorn said on redskins insider it was a done deal on alexander and green.

So Dirtbag359... are you officially going on record as saying this is a mistake and SA will be a bust?

Redskins Sign Alexander to Running Back Corps (http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Redskins_Sign_Alexander_to_Running_Back_Corps_2519 7.jsp)

Together again...

"Alexander played his college ball at Alabama, where Chris Samuels was one of his blockers."

What? I didn't say anything. I was just using the opportunity to post his highlight film from when he was 12. In the meantime I think the move makes sense. It's hard to say he's a mistake unless he ends up costing us a game through a fumble or an interception on a halfback pass.

Believe this... Shaun Alexander will be the best mid-season pickup in the NFL.

When can I get my Shaun Alexander avatar?

I'm not sold on Alexander by any means but after reading the board I say, why not give him a shot. Hamiltons been cut to make room for him and I don't think he was going to play much anyway. I really don't have anything against him other than I've HEARD he was soft and selfish. Zorn knows him personally so maybe what I've heard is wrong. At league minimum he does'nt cost much and maybe he'll use this opportunity to prove his reputation wrong. I hope so.

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?
