chires Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 When I watched the game today it doesn't appear like Alexander is trying hard and seems to just pop out 3-4 yard runs. The O line doesn't look that good and the offense seems to be off. I am I over reacting or do you think Alexander is off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I have LJ and he is off too, but think he will get it together. Playing well at playoff time is the most important thing to me. A bye is nice, but I'll take being a high scorer later. Do you think the Hawks will get their thing together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the addition of branch will help becasue burleson looks lost and they seem to be forcing passes. Alexander has looked very average the last 2 weeks. I'm hoping they just need to get inot rytem and once Branch gets in they will opoen up the passing game and lanes for Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 As an LT owner I'm as happy as a pig in sh!t. However, what pisses me off is that LT barely played in the 2nd half as it was a blowout today, otherwise he could've had an even bigger game.

nuke'em ttg Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Had him last year and it started out like this too......Jags did a # on him i think in week 1.......when the guy runs it always looks like 1/2 speed........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Didn't he have 89 yards and a TD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERLINS Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Heres hoping he gets it going soon. I need him to start scoring those multiple td days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vigilantex69 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Don't worry about Alexander, he'll bounce back fine. And as far as Tomlinson goes, hes a good running back but well see how good he does against teams that ARENT the friggin Titans and the Raiders ( see week 4 against Baltimore) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Don't worry about Alexander, he'll bounce back fine. Too bad he only got one TD with 89 yards, what a bum. I was also hoping he won the war in Iraq singlehandingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Goes Frazia Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) I was there.... he looked fine. He was hitting the holes hard as ever....... when they were there. the O-line is the issue here, not Shaun. Hasselbeck was sacked 3 more times today. As far as rushing goes.... they actually ran pretty well. If you check the stats you'll see mack strong had 30 yards on 3 carries & vultured a 3 yard run from Shaun.... that NEVER happens. It was his first score in quite some time. All together they had about 150 yards total.

I drafted him this year so he should already have 8 touchdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, easy on the "cure cancer" part, but I am in agreement with you on the rest of your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERLINS Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hey Bushwacked, I (we) get your point! In the real world, Shaun Alexander is doing just fine.........The Hawks are 2-0.......who needs more? BUT.......the last I checked, this is a Fantasy Site and we are thinking STATS. About a guy (a STUD) that is capable or racking up 140 yards and 4 tds. God only knows, I have had this happen against me many times in the past...this is the first year I have him and now he is mediocre (statwise) so far this year. With the First overall pick in a 16 team league, you kind of hope for him to stay on last years pace. So, 89 yards and 1 TD sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Didn't he have 89 yards and a TD? Bust! LJ 148 combined after week 1. Bust! Some guys have very high expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dogs Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 As far as Tomlinson goes, hes a good running back but well see how good he does against teams that ARENT the friggin Titans and the Raiders ( see week 4 against Baltimore) The last stats I could find when LT played Baltimore was back in 2004. 23 rushing attempts, 105 yards rushing + 1 TD 8 receptions for 51 yards 156 Total yards and a TD....... I'll take that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
