The New Orleans Saints are entertaining a special guest this week. That guest is former Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander. You know, the guy who was released after two, disappointing, injury-plagued seasons. The reason for the visit is interesting. You see, the Saints are looking to find a veteran, between-the-tackles guy in case something else happens to Deuce McCallister. Yes, the running back who has suffered through… two, disappointing, injury-plagued seasons. This approach is essentially like breaking your left leg and deciding the best way to ease the pain is by breaking your right one. The Saints currently have six running backs and three fullbacks on the roster. Second year running back Pierre Thomas proved last year that he could be a solid go-to guy. Should Deuce go down again, what good will a second gimp be? Where’s Quentin Tarantino when you need him…
