Time for a good look at Shaun Alexander

[SirClintonPortis]

Alexander fought his way back to the line of scrimmage in Detroit on a play that appeared to end in a loss. If the OL can get some actual holes, I'm not that pessimistic about the running game.

Also, this is from the above url.

# Ladell Betts, however, was back out, practicing with the running backs. He looked better than I expected — I had forgotten, during his injury, what a strong (what Zorn would probably call “violent”) runner he is — but Coach Zorn said after practice that he was still lacking burst. Betts, Shaun Alexander and Rock Cartwright all took some snaps with the first team.
# Alexander, incidentally, continues to look good, and not at all reticent to hit the hole or even block — he was getting as into the diving block drill (above) as anyone. Zorn described his play as “improved,” noting that “The way we we play is a little different than what we asked him to do in Seattle.”
