jetsman2806 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 anyone have any news on wether Shaun Alexander will play week 6 or 7?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampnuts Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) I just traded for him, so I hope it's soon. I just hope my trade doesn't get vetoed. I traded Lamont Jordan and Keyshawn Johnson for him. My guess is week 7 at home, but it's just a hunch.

Riffraff Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 On the Mike Holmgren show, he said Alexander is out for next week. He may be available the following week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I just hope my trade doesn't get vetoed. I traded Lamont Jordan and Keyshawn Johnson for him. I fail to see why that would be vetoed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrunt Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 It would probably be smart for Holmgren to delay as much as possible if Alexander will start week 6, however, my guess is he'll be ready for week 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrunt Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I fail to see why that would be vetoed. Ditto. I'd be pissed if I were involved in that trade and it got vetoed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrudge Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I fail to see why that would be vetoed.If anything, it favors the team getting Jordan and Johnson. Right now in several of my leagues after 5 weeks Jordan is worth a little more the Alexander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampnuts Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I fail to see why that would be vetoed. One guy I talked to in my local was a little steamed about it, but he hasn't protested it yet. He's afraid my lineup will be too strong if Alexander comes back healthy. I've still got Portis and Gore, so I didn't lose anything by giving up Jordan. The owner I traded with was very happy with the deal. He needed both players for bye week issues, and it was the only offer he received.

RussMan Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Be careful. Anyone here that has ever had a broken bone in their foot will tell you that they are slow to heal and painful. Coming back too soon is the worst thing he could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty optimistic about him coming back and running for 120 yards against the vikings and 2 td's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 haha thats awesome. I am pretty optimistic about him coming back and running for 120 yards against the vikings and 2 td's. The Vikings have a top 5 rushing Defense...IF he comes back that week I don't expect anything more than 85 yds and 1 TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I saw a report (a Scouts, Inc. comment on my ESPN league's home page) that Alexander is targeting an October 22, 2006 return date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetoing a deal because it makes your team "too good?" Tell them to manage their own team better & quit crying about how good your team is.

He could get 150 yards 4TD's or he could get 30 yards and 2 fumbles. I just hope the Shaun Alexander all fantasy owners know and love shows up soon.

TheGrunt Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Be careful. Anyone here that has ever had a broken bone in their foot will tell you that they are slow to heal and painful. Coming back too soon is the worst thing he could do. Very true. My brother actually had almost the exact same injury to his foot in high school. Although, instead of it being during football season, it happened to be in his senior year for track -- he was a sprinter for the 100 yard hurdle competitions. He broke his foot, down to almost the exact same bone as Shaun Alexander two weeks before state finals. He still placed 5th in state. He did mention to me that it continued to hurt his foot for the next several months, however, it's not the type of injury that will hold a sport athlete down enough to where they cannot perform well. Alexander probably has 10, if not 100, times better medical help than my brother did which only fairs well for Alexander owners.... such as myself. I hope. Unless of course, Alexander decided to neglet medical help, and continue to thank god he gets to eat some more of that delicious 'pie' he deserved from last years MVP fantasy numbers he posted.
