Yes, Shaun Alexander isn't Shaun Alexander. Yes, he's 30, and even though we forget it, having a broken wrist won't exactly benefit his ability running the ball either. But it's clear, regardless of how often we bash him, that the days in which we cheered him are unfortunately behind us. One question, how has Shaun physically gone under the radar among NFL Scouts, Teammates and Coaches? As much as we watch the games, they are there dealing with these situations in person, with years of training under their belts. I have heard several people say Holmgren is scapegoating the offensive line to protect Alexander's reputation. But in a business such as this, where winning means money (a career), and where it's no longer a secret that money is what drives it, why would any coach risk winning in order to protect a player. That type of loyalty is something that is rarely seen nowadays. Maurice Morris has deserved more playing time, how unfortunate for a 2nd Round Pick to spend his career as a backup. He has been successful and like most of the Field Gulls faithful, I am in complete agreement that giving Morris more carries would be a better option, however, I can't just imagine that being the 'fix' for this entire problem. These are some quotes from the Tacoma News Tribune ''It’s going to be hard for Seahawk fans to admit, but Walter Jones is not really Walter Jones these days. He struggled against St. Louis and was hardly better Sunday. Rob Sims has the strength and mobility of a future Pro Bowl guard. But his potential is not being translated into effective play. Center Chris Spencer has his moments, but then occasionally gets dominated. On one play Sunday, Spencer was shoved back off the line so hard that a Browns defender almost sacked Hasselbeck with Spencer’s flying body. On a second-quarter play at the Browns’ 2, Jones, Sims and Spencer all missed their blocks, resulting in Shaun Alexander being dropped for a 3-yard loss. Spencer got beaten again on the next play as Alexander again was tackled for a loss.'' Now, the full article has a very strong opinion that the offensive line was the main problem. I don't disagree with this, but nor do i agree. I feel that yes, Shaun is slowing down, that Morris is in his prime, but that is not to say that with better offensive line play that even the old, slowing down Alexander would be able to have some occasional effectiveness. What do you guys think?
