GET ALONG
Regardless of what you think about Shaun Alexander, we're all Seahawks fans for the same reason.
We want to see this team win.
Having #37 in the backfield gives the Seahawks a chance to win. Trust me, I feel much more confident with Alexander running the ball than Maurice Morris or Kerry Carter. That's not a knock on Morris and Carter as much as it is my confidence in Alexander.
I've been an Alexander fan since his days at Alabama. There's no denying the fact that I'll be biased towards Alexander as long as he's a Seahawk. That's just how it is and I'm sure some of you will understand that.
Barring a trade, Alexander is a Seahawk for the 2005 season. If the front office and Alexander can reach agreement on a long-term deal, he'll be a Seahawk beyond 2005. But that hasn't happened yet, so we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
This has been a very productive offseason for the Seahawks. They've made significant changes on defense, as well as shoring up their wide receiver corps. More importantly, as I brought up yesterday, the Seahawks will have their three main pieces of their offense in the fold once again in 2005.
Thank goodness one of those pieces is Shaun Alexander.
