Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

ESPN TV just reported Shaun was released. I wonder if the skins will consider him due to the coaching link.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

I can see him playing near his hometown in Kentucky and signing with the Bengals

ahhh you just beat me

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

I'm thinking veteran minimum

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

betts,portis,and rock are all the rbs we need.but who knows???

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

We are only one player away!

We should trade our first and next year's third for him and lock him up to a long term contract of over 20 million gauranteed.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

We should sign him for vet minimum. Seriously.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

Consider him for what?

Ball boy?

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

Alexander was a good back for a couple of years, but remember he is one
that goes into a shell if hit him often and early. We used this tactic in
2005 and he went out of the game early.

Due to the coaching link (Zorn, Stump Mitchell). Capish?

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

I think what Matty's trying to say is that we don't need a running back. Let alone a wimpy old running back.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

Man I <3 this day. Information everywhere. It's what offseason warriors dream of.

Makes no sense to pick up a back who's clearly over the hill and when we have absolutely no need for another back.

What are you going to do stick him in front of Betts??

I don't want him. What I'm saying is would the skins FO consider him due to the Seattle connection. After all it is the Danny and Vinnie show and they just might pull some bone head move and trade Betts and sign Alexander. Oh and by the way, he's 30 YO.

Dumb, dumb, dumb post. Deserves negative rep points.

Using that logic I guess we'll consider any ex-Seahawk due to Zorn?

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

no thanks.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

Rather than being sarcastic for once, I'm simply going to say no. There is no way in hell that he comes close to being a Redskin. To be serious for once, running back is like the deepest position on this m.f.ing team. I mean, if there is one single spot on this entire team that does not need any help, it's gotta be running back. Why, why why, would you consider bringing in an old running back who can't get the job done anymore? Portis, Betts, Cartwright, Mason. Nuff said.

I'll be sarcastic for you.

Hello, don't you know about the Zorn connection?

Who cares about needs or the fact Alexander is washed up. He knows Zorn for christ sake, sign him up!

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

I'll be sarcastic too, if you don't like my post/posts then don't mock me and act like children. Grow up!!

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

Sorry, crap in = crap out

Other than the coaching connection there's no logical reason as to why the Redskins would be interested in Alexander.

Bingo! You win the prize.
Alexander is useless, we shouldn't take him even for the vet min.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

He could make a nice 4th running back here ;)

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

Can't say that's a surprise, given they signed every RB available in the off-season. Man, what a quick fall from the top for Alexander.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

Lets sign Shaun Alexander, just to prevent the Eagles from picking him up.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

Or just let the Eagles have him.

He's going to be 31 in august. It just goes to show you that RB's really do hit a wall when they turn 30.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

It is crazy how one can go from TD record holder to being cut. Crazy how it happens.

[QUOTE=hooskins;441849]It is crazy how one can go from TD record holder to being cut. Crazy how it happens.[/QUOTE]

To be fair, he went from record holder, to a nagging / serious injury, to being platooned, to being cut.

I disagree, I believe that they hit the wall after about 5 or 6 years in the league as a starter, regardless of age.

Excecptions to the rule include Barry Sanders and Westbrook among a few others, but generally speaking...

Portis is entering his 7th season.
Tomlinson is entering his 8th season. (his 6th and 7th he lead the league in rushing and tds)

Right, but they are on the decline. Maybe a more appropriate way of wording it is that they peak at 5 to 6 and begin a decline. Sometimes it is like hitting a wall and sometimes it is steady, but backs do not always last until they ar 30. We shall see about Portis and Tomlinson.

Remember Tomlinson could not finish last season.

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

I hope the Redskins stay far away form Shaun Alexander. His numbers have continued to go down after Steve Hutchinson left. He can't take a hit. He is getting old. We have plenty of RB depth in Ports, Betts and Cartwright.

I would certainly agree with your revised statement.
Which is why in another thread I posed the possible notion of trading Portis for McFadden.

ps- how come you didn't make a comment on the A5 in that BMW thread I started?

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

vet min for sure hahaha

re: Shaun Alexander released by Seahawks
 

I have never been a fan of Alexander. He had a dream-team offensive line in 2005 not to mention an easy schedule that allowed them to coast to a super bowl (kind of like the cowboys of last year except the Seahawks can win an easy playoff game or two). When their line depleted he got injured, then his #'s went down. And that is his story. I think he is and always was waaaay overrated. maybe the cowboys will give him a whiff... Eddie George anyone??
