Would anybody want to swap him with Betts? I don't see this at all, and I think Alexander was more a product of Walter Jones, Steve Hutchinson, and a good Seattle line, but if he is better than Betts, or for that matter somebody else is better than Betts, I would want them in that #2 spot. I really would only want that so that the FO thinks we need another RB because I could see them sticking with the Portis/Betts combination for a while, but without Betts it would give them more reason to pick up a young guy, who's not a return guy, that can be a real #1 back that can be developed.
