Alexander in denial
Listening to Shaun Alexander's radio appearance in Seattle Monday, it's obvious that he's a in a deep, deep denial about where his career is at. He would be shocked if the Seahawks approached him about re-doing his contract. We'd be shocked if they didn't. The only the way they won't approach Alexander is to cut him outright without asking.
He blames most of his struggles on his injuries this year. He says his broken bone in the first game of the season changed his whole year. And then puts a lot of blame on the offensive line. Alexander In the interview, Alexander makes it clear that he sees himself starting for the Seahawks next year. He doesn't take responsibility for his lackluster season. And he doesn't think Seattle needs to take a back high in the draft.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer takes a long look at Alexander's diminishing production, and concludes that he should be released.
The Seahawks made a huge mistake by handing out a sentimental contract extension for Alexander after his MVP year. I'm pretty sure they won't compound it by keeping him past his expiration date.
Comments
As a longtime hawks fan who always disliked Alexander, I have to agree with him a little here. Any person that understands football could easily see him running into wall after wall with the o-line this past year. The injury took away his ability to catch and run a certain way, that was holmgrem and company's fault for not benching a 30% healthy back. Even then, he often had nowhere to go, as proven when Morris was in there and likewise went nowhere. In 3rd and 1 situations the hawks were AWFUL. 2 mantra's on this...you have a power back who plows through anything for a first down or you have an o-line that pushes the d back/aside making enough room for a quick back to squeeze in. Our team was built for the latter and we lost that ability when hutch took off. Don't blame alexander because he's not a dozer...he never was, never will be. This reminds me of a couple years ago when everyone in the world was saying favre needed to retire and save us the pain of watching him fade in to oblivion....
