first of all it was marcus mason and yes we should have kept him but retarded vinny said no and it hurt us b/c betts went down and we had to sign alexander. maybedumb vinny has learned from that mistake.

Yes, very retarded to not keep a guy who couldn't come off the practice squad and laid a brick when he played against a starting defense during preseason.

did shaun alexander do any better this year. he being signed is the equivelant of steve spurrior drafting taylor jacobs, signing danny wuerffel, and shane matthews. atleast mason has upside, hes young, and worth a shot.

Shaun Alexander came to this team to be the back-up to our back-up for super cheap money. If we're going to pick up a RB for the future, it needs to be one we pick up in the next year or two in the first or second round. Not some scrub that fans have a man-crush on, who cannot get off the practice squad in any team, and was completely destroyed by a first-string defense. And don't forget that our running game problems were partly b/c of our run blocking and our lack of a passing offense.
