scuba chuck Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 The current RB watch report is as follows: 1) LT2 2) LJ 3) Westbrook 4) Tiki Barber 5) Rudi Johnson 6) St. Jackson 7) Gore 8) Parker 9) Taylor 10) McAllister How do you think Shaun Alexander will compare against this list from weeks 9-16? If we were redrafting right now, for weeks 9-16, where would you pick Alexander? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ernie McCracken Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 He was off to a slow start already. I think he'll be tentative and without Hass teams will stack up against the run. It's looking to me like it'll be at least a couple of weeks before Alexander returns to early season form, Which wasn't good. I doubt that there will ever be a return to last seasons form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockerbraves Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 He slips in right behind LJ. Can't help but to think he'll come back strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustOfBeenDrunk Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i would replace Parker with SA Parker does not belong on the list IMO i would also bump Taylor up two spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Unless the Seattle line gets magically younger everywhere but guard, and Chris Spencer becomes more than a hole, or Shaun Alexander some how loses a lot of money, he will not produce at a top 10 level upon his return. How someone could not want Parker on that list has not seen him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 No Kevin Jones on this list is absurd. He's 4th in my league amongst RBs, and has some true cupcakes left (SF, ARZ, MIA, GB, ATL), all in the lower half of the rushing defense rankings. How Fred Taylor is being considered Top-10, with his propensity to injury and Jones-Drew getting more involved, is beyond me. I don't care that they have an easy schedule...in fact, their ease-of-schedule might HURT Taylor...if they are up in games, even more of a reason to get Jones-Drew on the field. And not to scare Westbrook owners, but as a Philly homer who has seen Westbrook fade as the season wears on, it might be time to sell at an all-time high. Ranking him #3 going forward is a bit optomistic, especially as the tougher part of the Eagles schedule lies ahead. From weeks 9-16, he'll be no better than 12th-15th overall....blend that with his top-3 performance thus far, and he should end the year Top-8. In regard to Alexander, I also think he'll be Top-3 going forward....exceptionally harmless schedule, should see an adundance of carries as he is fresh, and with Seattle needing to win to keep pace in a competitive NFC, they'll ride their horse as far as they can. With Seattle not needing to throw much in any of their games (I doubt they'll be behind much the rest of the way, based on their opponents), expect Alexander to see the ball for four quarters every week.
