Three weeks into the 2006 season, Alexander broke his left foot in a game against the New York Giants.

"the curse" is crap. the chances of skill position players getting injured somehow is pretty high

The only one to avoid the curse has been Rey Lewis, he got lucky

If you read the link cheese you would know he didn't completely escape the curse.

Personally, i think the Seahawks do better without Alexander. if you watch any Hawks games, you notice that Alexander averages about 3 yds a run. then, they put in backup HB, Maurice Morris. the opposing team think they are passsing it, so Morris runs for about 7-20 yds. im not concerned at all.

The point is.. john madden should put himself back on every game... he saves players....

and p wait until they start suspecting the running back.. he will be stopped.

yes make madden suffer the injuries not the players.

also you are right about the running back rev.

well, for the first time in years, the seahawks have a multi dimesional offense. now, they have receivers. after the figure out the running back, then we set up in 4 receiver slots.
