Alexander is not the second best running back in the NFL. He should be ranked something like 7th to 12th. If he leaves Seattle in the offseason, it will be plainly obvious next year that he was made to look a lot better by the Seattle o-line.

And by playing San Fran, Arizona & St. Louis twice a year. Alexander is finally playing a defense this week that is not below average at stopping the run. With 2 minutes left he's under 100 yards and 4 ypc.

This is the smartest thing you've ever said in the Sports Forum.

Mo Morris runs for 1500 yards and 15 TDs next season.

I'd be stupid to, considering rb injuries.

[Jack of Arcades]

But I'd be willing to make a small wager (I'm not much of a betting man) that, if the Shaun Alexander doesn't return to Seattle, their RBs will combined run for 1500 yards.

They are the running backs who are also great recievers. LT, Edge, Faulk in his prime, etc.

This is why I'd take a chance on Bush. I don't follow college football very closely, but I'm under the impression that he's an excellent reciever.

I wouldn't take a RB in the first round if they couldn't catch and block.

yeah this kinda ruins my argument. I mean I didnt set out to make an argument that reggie shouldnt go number 1. I was just sorta thinking about how overvalued a lot of RBs were and then was like hmm maybe that means reggie is being overvalued as the easy number 1 pick...

Do you play poker?

Also, maybe we can make a bet that includes both your RBs combined 1500 yds and S Alexanders totals.

I'd also be willing to do the Mercury Morris bet with the stipulation that any serious injury (we shall define later) negates the bet.

[Jack of Arcades]

While LT is certainly is a great receiver, he isn't utilized much in that role. Much of his receptions are safety valve receptions that don't do much.

Edge, Faulk, and Priest are/were all awesome though.
