‘As many as 17 men have occupied the Seahawks quarterback position, but only a quartet of running backs have marked the past three decades. Sherman Smith started it all. He ran leadoff during the 1970s before giving way to Curt Warner, who carried the rushing load over the next decade. The ’90s belonged primarily to Chris Warren, who then made the exchange to Ricky Watters four years ago. And now, the baton, or rather the football, appears as if it’s changing hands again. This time, Shaun Alexander is on the receiving end and he’s running better than anyone has before him in the short amount of time since he’s arrived.’
