Time for a good look at Shaun Alexander

This is a must win for the redskins, they lost the last home game, can't afford to lose this one, especially at home again. Play Portis!!

So you think they should play Portis even though it could cause more damage to his kneee and missing more then this game. I'm not sure if he even sits out this game that he could play the following week.

I dont like to disagree, but we are gonna need portis in the upcoming games, so i think we can rest him. When we play dallas, and i said this before the first time we played them when they seemed immortal, i said that someway somehow we find ways to beat dallas, and if you need an example think back 2 years to the game vs dallas at home. We should rest portis for this week and if we have to, next week at seattle, so he can be 100% against ny giants. I want SA starting. On a side note, i think SA should have some carries next week in seattle.

Yeah if Alexander plays well against Dallas we should start him against Seattle anyways, just to give Portis more of a rest (and mostly because Seattle isn't doing much this season). Against Dallas I expect Rock and SA to split carries in the first quarter, and depending on who is toting it better Zorn will begin to hand it to that person more.
