What is with this guy? He's only averaging 3.4 yds a carry and 2 TD's. Looks like he's lost a step.

Tell me about it, he's killing one of my fantasy teams. One belief is the loss of Mack has really hurt him. Another belief is...Alexander's just lost it. I hope not.

[Lefty Noob]

He's pretty much been dinged up for the last couple of seasons, has he not? Even now he's playing with a cast. I figure that's got to have something to do with it.

How about the fact that he got his big payday and now he's mailing it in every week?

Well, I don't know the guy, but he seems to be of the character not to do something like that.

Most running backs have "X" amount of years in their legs. Hopefully that isn't the case here.

Well, here we go again - word is that injuries will sideline Alexander again this weekend.

Anyone think it's a coincedence that all this and he's turning age 30 soon?

No, no coincidence at all. He's old and beat up. Time for Seattle to start looking towards the future.

[Tiny Tom]

Yup, I see them drafting a runningback next year in the early rounds.

years?...I think they have an X amount of carries...Alexander has 2,118...and had 4 straight seasons of over 325 carries...color him done...

Agreed, most definitely.

The fact that he has a broken left hand and must wear a cast for every game does not help, but that is not the problem. The problem is the Seahawks offensive line. They lost Hutchinson, their Pro Bowl left guard, to Minnesota before the opening of last years season and their running game has smelled ever since. They have second year players at left guard and center.
I think a lot of people think that the running backs are the big stars of the running game. Without an offensive line that can control the defense, no running back will shine.

Welcome aboard bbear999, and thanks for the analysis. The Seahawks lost has been the Vikings gain, as Peterson has run wild this year.
