Time for a good look at Shaun Alexander

[GTripp0012]

By the way, I think there's a huge difference between "Clinton Portis can't go" and "Shaun Alexander is our starting RB". The former tells me that at least Portis is smart enough to not try to be out there running the ball when his agility is compromised, so we can at least try to have a running game. The latter tells me that we'll have no threat of a running game whatsoever.

Betts' health is so important in this game, and despite what JLC says, expect more Rock Cartwright if Portis and Betts are down.
