Wow
Duckett and Jjones might a decent 1-2 punch if they improve the line a little
Waiting to see terms if we can decide if the hawks are drafting a RB or not in the 1st round

I agree with all of that except, "decent line", and "unless SA is still considered a RB". Unless SA gets cut, he is the starter as long as Holgram is the coach. IMO it's bad for JJ owners unless SA is cut.

Sure, MoMo is gone IMO, but Duckett isn't a threat, and neither is Jones as long as Holmgren is the coach. Sorry guys, but Alexander will still be the starter as long as Holmgren is the coach.

Is JJ really an upgrade over Maurice Morris?? I'm not so sure.

Mo Morris
Duckett
I have to believe Alexander will be cut.

That occurred to me for a sec, but I think that fat contract would keep anyone for trading for the shadow of the player he was a few years ago. MoMo wouldn't seem to have much trade value either.I agree that it looks like SA is soon to be cut (despite what Ruskell said a week ago -- f'n liar!
).

Not to be a jerk, but does it really matter?? The cap hurt would be the same.

So the Seahawks go out and sign Duckett to a long-term deal, then follow it up with Julius Jones, and JohnnyU still thinks SA is the starter? That seems highly unlikely.

Maybe Julius will be their new PK. They need one you know.
JohnnyU

Unless he is cut of course. If he stays in Seattle, he's the starter over JJ, Duckett, and little bo peep.

I think its crazier to still think seattle is looking at a rb in round 1 lol. Thats one crowded backfield

ineffectiveness does wonders to the depth chart

I agree
JohnnyU

That changes nothing. I believe that SA wrist injury caused a lot of ineffectiveness last year. He had to change his style of running with carrying the ball. He just might surprise some this year who are slamming him now.

I look forward to bumping this thread when SA is cut.

ummm how about the fact that he avoids contact like the black plague, i was in Seattle for 3 weeks in October/November, and wow, did the talks shows rip this guy, one day they had a contest on what's the worst thing you can call Shaun Alexander that's airable........somebody called in and goes the worst thing i can do is call Shaun Alexander is "Shaun Alexander" cause nobody should be that soft.....
, never mind being booed in your home stadium as well........but you must see something most of us don't.lol all those who think JohnnyU has SA on his team lift their hands

I'll say this: Tim Ruskell is going to have MAJOR egg on his face if Alexander's issues last season were merely a result of a bothersome wrist, rather than his age. That record-setting TD season seems like it happened 20 years ago, but we're only a couple of years removed from it. All things being equal, SA has more talent than anyone currently on the roster, including Jones.

Yep.

Oh, I KNOW he does lollol all those who think JohnnyU has SA on his team lift their hands

That wouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Of course he could be cut. But if he stays, he plays. Now bump that in October.
Michael Fox Fan

Will bump it either way.

I have the deadbeat in 1 of 7 leagues. Like I said, if HE ISN'T CUT, he is the starter. Bank on it. If he is cut, then we all expected it, lol.Oh, I KNOW he does lollol all those who think JohnnyU has SA on his team lift their hands

Even if he isnt cut and starts the year he better be getting the job done, ya know.I have the deadbeat in 1 of 7 leagues. Like I said, if HE ISN'T CUT, he is the starter. Bank on it.

Are you saying that you will bump it if he stays in Seattle and is the starter? Of course if you bump it when he gets cut, that isn't news to anyone.
JohnnyU

That's a given.Even if he isnt cut and starts the year he better be getting the job done, ya know.I have the deadbeat in 1 of 7 leagues. Like I said, if HE ISN'T CUT, he is the starter. Bank on it.

Gotta love all the JJ supporters when A) he was awful with a far superior O-line in Dallas B) He is no better than SA or Morris
Alexander looked awful last year.....JJ was no better (with a far better O-line).
Frankly, I think Duckett is the better than Jones.

Yes - thus the "either way". typically that implies 2 potential outcomes - cut or not cut. BTW - it's not exactly going out on a limb to say "if he's not cut, he's the starter". It's like me saying "if I become a billionaire, I'll give away 1/2 my money". Since the odds of each even happening are close to zero, the consequences are almost unproveable.

Couldnt have picked a better year too. I would think a 3rd round RB should be an upgrade over Julius's normal production.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
OK...lol.
My way of saying Duckett/JJ isn't really an upgrade from Alexander/Morris.I'm guessing Hass will be chucking it 40-45 times a game again this year.

Plus, JJ doesn't like to share the ball as much as he had to with MBIII lately. So how's he going to like trotting off the field for Duckett now?
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I like Weaver and Duckett, but one or both seem buried.
pinda
Footballguy
couldn't you say the exact same thing about the Duckett supporters, other than the far superior offensive line.not a Jones supporter, as much as I'm a believer that SA is done.
JohnnyU

LOL, you may be on to something there.
