If he can't produce vs the Rams at home how is this schedule going to help him?Brownies49'ersBearsRamsEaglesCardinalsPanthersRavensFalconsLots of cupcakes! Buy low, buy now!
Good question.....I would like to beleive that Alexander can heat up, but his 47 yard performance against the Rams doesn't make me think he can do it anymore.If he can't produce vs the Rams at home how is this schedule going to help him?Brownies49'ersBearsRamsEaglesCardinalsPanthersRavensFalconsLots of cupcakes!

Yes they are great matchups but that doesn't seem to matter much anymore. The Hawks scored 33 pts and blew the Rams horrible Rams out, yet he got 0 td's and ran for a vomit inspiring 2.47 ypc on 19 carries. You can't do much worse than that. I wouldn't touch him at this point. He's shown absolutely nothing this year.
and an SA owner?
By chance, was said penalty a HOLDING penalty perhaps? I'm not buying.
It may be clouding your judgement. I would try to use your SOS argument to sell him to an owner living in 2005. As he looks now, I'd say he has a better chance of losing carries than improving. When was the last time a healthy SA got only 60% of the carries?
I wouldn't call a RB running with a cast on his hand healthy right now, would you?
Is that causing him to run for an anemic ypc?

the cards are no push over either. Sure they gave up two td's to portis, buttheir yards totals are good.I do not want to try to win my playoffs with an underachieving SA against these defenses.Brownies

I offered the Cadillac owner in our league (re-draft) SA straight up for Caddy. He declined.
Agreed - schedules can be, and generally are, very misleading.Yes they are great matchups but that doesn't seem to matter much anymore.Brownies49'ersBearsRamsEaglesCardinalsPanthersRavensFalconsLots of cupcakes! Buy low, buy now!
Not by much. Not by much at all.When the Seahawks had the lead and were starting to run the clock, Morris and Weaver got as many carries as SA. He has 100 yards total in 3 games, 2 of which are bottom dweller defenses. He ran pretty hard (for him) in the first quarter against both teams but tailed off after a few hits and went back to his crumpler ways. It was obvious that when the team needed to run the ball that SA was not going to be the primary ball carrier. I would expect that SA's monopoly on carries is over, including goal line carries where the team decided to pass from the 1.

His cast has nothing to do with the lack pf heart he runs with. With his poor decisions and fetal position finishes. Sure it affects him, but there should be no way a $52 mil man should get 100 yards in 3 games because of a little cast.
This is a joke right? ROFL@ anyone who buys this clown low. If you watched him play at all you wouldnt be pimping him. The best was on a play vs the saints last week where he slowly stumbled up to a huge piule of players and layed down on them then rolled over on his back and layed there.Brownies49'ersBearsRamsEaglesCardinalsPanthersRavensFalconsLots of cupcakes!

ROFL, i assure you a cast is the least of SAs worries atm. If he continues on the path he is on we will see him lose his job and contract.
His cast causes Holmgren to pretty much exclusively call run plays to the right when he is in. He must carry the ball with his right hand since the cast is on the left. To be honest I think its hurting the team for him to be in the game when the defense knows that if he is running, its to the right side. On a side note, he did run a lot harder yesterday than he has in weeks past. There just was no running lanes and as someone else stated, he had a few nice runs called back. He will be a much more effective runner if and when the cast comes off.Banger said:
He ran harder for a quarter. And that was it. His cast is an issue but it is not the main reason for his struggles. He may become more effective when it comes off, but not to the extent that he becomes a fantasy producer to target for the second half of the season. At best he'll be a little relief to grieving owners who've struggled with him thus far.
If CLE keeps going through shootouts with their schedule, JLew will have plenty of opportunities to put up good numbers.

I watched a lot of that game and you are absolutely correct. Pathetic effort. Absolutely pathetic. He is done. I learned my lesson on him last year, when he looked terrible BEFORE he was injured. Yeah, he did OK late in the year, but the writing was on the wall. He is not even a RB #3 at this point, and in a dynasty he has almost no value. He is done.
Mr.GoreI have been trying to deal for Lewis and Gore the past 3 weeks because of their upcoming schedules and have had zero luck.
How can you tell me that it is not a huge disadvantage for the offense when the defense pretty much knows if they run the ball with SA, it is to the right side? His cast IS the main reason for his struggles. That and the fact that the right side of the line sucks balls at run blocking. Chris Gray needs to retire.
I traded for Lewis & Gore the past 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago I gave up Welker & Foster for Lewis & Miller (obv now I wish I didnt do that trade). And then I gave up Portis & Berrian for Gore
Because he's pathetic no matter which side he runs on. He falls into a fetal ball on the ground at first contact. He is running with no heart, no vision, no power, no speed, no effort, no desire, no nothing. It can't be a limp wrist that completely derails a MVP. He's not playing for a paycheck anymore. He played crappy in preseason, and in the early games before the cast and before teams starting keying into the fact that he doesn't run left much anymore. He has sucked all year long and while the wrist is a disadvantage, it doesn't explain the complete lack of effort on his part. Watch any other football game, college or pro, and you will see a RB who runs the ball harder and with more heart than SA has displayed all year long. Line issues aside, a $52 mil Man should be able to at least fall forward when he gets met at the LOS. MoMo had almost the same yardage with half the carries this week, Weaver outrushed SA last week on one carry. The guy has flat out lost what little guts he had. I think NE will lose to another AFCE team before SA gets 100 yard game.
