With Betts out for a while, will Shaun Alexander really be a difference maker for the Redskins?
The answer is "who cares," simply because Alexander comes to the Redskins for the price of the veteran minimum, and at worst will only be with the team for 4-5 weeks. At best, Alexander proves that he is somewhat of a shade of his former MVP self and can help the skins develop a legitimate two-back system where he and Portis can swap carries. I think this is a great move by the Redskins and has no downside, besides the fact that it perpetuates Snyder's signing of over-the-hill free agents.
