What about Shaun Alexander?

Deuce will be more ready to play than Alexander this season.
Though in his prime Alexander was great last year he was terrible. So was the Seahawks line. Hutchinson was the key to his success, and now he's the key to AD's success

Neither are going to be ready by opening day to contribute in any major way. ACL tears take almost 2 years to heal.

We don't need to pick up another vet RB and from the looks of things we won't. We resigned Stecker for a reason. Only 3 RB's are active on gameday. You know Stecker, Bush, and Thomas are pretty much locked in right now as those 3. Deuce may get activated later in the season.
