what happened to Shaun Alexander?

[Bob Sacamano]

has he hit the proverbial 30-year old wall for RBs? is he 30? I haven't got a chance to watch him at all this year, but have heard that the 'hawks can't run the ball anymore

what happened?

He has been declining pretty rapidly, just shell of himself.

Yes, line not what it was and he was banged up past 2 years....

 

[theogt]

He's only had 2 good seasons. The rest were either average or below average. His yardage looked decent in those average or below average years because he was fed the ball so much.

So, given normal decline due to his age, you could view that 2005 season as more of an outlier than the current season.

while true, AD has no problems running to the right-side

Alexander is injured as well.

He used to run against a soft NFC West. For a guy his size, I always thought he ran like a big *****. Always overrated in my book.

Remember in their SB year, both us and the Giants stuffed him, but we both lost b/c of our sorry kicking game.

Otherwise, they consistently had weak schedules every year.

Mike Ditka alluded to the fact that Alexander had gotten soft and showed some plays to illustrate his point. Parcells basically backed up the Ditka talk later in the week.

Two guys that know tough runners are Parcells and Ditka. I'll take their spin on it since I don't watch the Seahags or Alexander.

I picked him 8th overall in my fantasy league

or the left side where they have perinal pro bowlers Bryant McKenny (sp?) and Steve Hutchinson and their center is a pro bowler in Matt Birk

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Alexander has always been overrated in my book, he's a soft running back...

Ive seen a couple of hawk games, and it seems to me, Alexander, is not hitting the holes as hard as in other years. Hutch could be the reason, but either way you should still hit the holes hard, hes dancing to much out there.

Everyone laughed at me for picking Addai ahead of Alexander.
