Shawn Alexander may get a ton of rushing yards in his contract year this season but I would take Priest Holmes or LaDanian Tomlinson over him any day.

Yep..........you have to consider where most of his yards come from.

Shaun Alexander-Seattle Seahawks-NFC West

Each year
2 games vs. 49ers
2 games vs. Cardinals
2 games vs. Rams

Right Hache. And besides, the way the Seahawks receivers drop passes I'm sure Holmgren will be calling more and more running plays.

He is one of the fastest and may be the fastest Running Back in the League...

I'll take Alexander.

KC & SD don't exactly play a bunch of teams with great defenses either.

Seattle's WR's drop too many passes and thus they will rely on SA much more, also the contract thing is a big issue as well.

I vote LT as well, I think this year will be a huge year for Mcgahee to prove he's the real deal.
Priest is good, but I think injuries will start catching up to him.
D Davis has all the makings of a stud, runs hard, can catch well, but he also seems to have trouble with injuries.

For now I'm hoping our guy here in DC, Clinton Portis tears it up!

Wow, a lot of changes since this thread back in 2005........

LJ wasn't even on the radar when Priest Holmes was healthy......

Please! There's no one better than LT as an overall back right now. He runs, catches passes and throws for TD's as well as blocking for his "other" back!
