Alexander a Texan??

Why are we even talking about this. Alexander has no wish to come to Houston, his wish was to go to Miami. He was in hot water about filling in that position down there because he stated it publicly. Needless to say, Seahawks fans were not pleased. They have a huge cap problem coming up because even though they are like 24 million under cap, they have to huge names to sign right now and resign . One of those names is Hassleback, there are some big named others as well. He might get signed back by Seattle, but they will have to really offer him cash, and i dont think he will do it. Miami is where he is looking and we dont have the cap ourselves to sign him.
 
And just exactly HOW is Alexander going to help us?
Does he give us a solid running game? Or do we already have one? Does he give us a recieving threat out of the back field? OOPS got one of those too. Championship experience? No. Lockeroom Leadership? No. I'm not trying to be funny but I don't see where that would be good money spent considering our other needs.
 
Nothing against your team, who I happen to enjoy watching, BUT he wants to play for a powerhouse and preferably on the east coast, and a major televised market. It just won't happen...bank on it. Your O-line and offense as a whole are not good enough...he wants to be THE star on a team full of stars who can win it all now. His priorities are:

1) MONEY
2) Fame / Limelight <- East coast teams
3) Run oriented O with good O-line ...

He runs no where near as hard as he should...he only runs hard in the red zone. He wants to be on the Monday night game, Sunday night game, or at least be the nationally televised game most Sundays. He plays for Shaun, not for the team. He is not a vocal annoying team cancer like many players, but he is only out for Shaun. I watched every single Hawks game for the last three years and will not be sorry to see him go. And given the state of your offense and line, he would not have anywhere near the production. He will not take a hit, and he slides a lot. If you added up all the times he dropped to avoid a hit he would have won the rushing title by at least a hundred yards.

- The Hawks OL is vastly superior to the Texans
- You have the better individual WR in AJ, but the Hawks win in overall depth with D Jack, K Rob, Engram, and Rice being much better than your top four. This takes pressure of the running game giving Shaun more openings.
- Hawks TE's are better...blocking and receiving
- Mack Strong is one of the top 3 blocking FB's in the league
- Hass is better than Carr at this point, though I think Carr will be better in the end..possibly overtaking Matt next year depending on your OL and weapons.

In summary...it just won't happen....bank on it.

Nothing personal Im just using you as an example...

Who started this annoying trend? D Jack, K Rob, T Mac, D Rob, K Mart (ok that one is pretty funny) :hmmm:

That is actually a good question...I just use it out of laziness, don't feel like typing out full names. Someone on the Seahawks message boards has something to the effect of ....

If Darrel Jackson is D-Jack, and Koren Robinson is K-Rob, what does that make Antonio Cochran? Heh..that always amuses me.
 
Gary Brown was the man in Houston too for a while. But that doesn't mean there's not another Eddie George out there.

because he doesn't have break away speed-he broke one big one for a TD against the Titans.(they let us have)

Yeah and Portis does have breakaway speed. Both had 5 runs over 20 yards this year. And BS on the Titans let DD have that one. Fisher said it wasn't true.

he has not proven to be durable(injuries)/his size.

Durability is a concern, but size has nothing to do with it. DD is not in any way a small NFL back

You dont know which DD is going to be playing each game.(sometimes he hits the hole hard, sometimes he doesn't)

Or maybe you don't know which OL is going to show up. Try looking at the 180 switch in pass and run blocking from the 1st half of the season to the 2nd half.

The fumbles! He rushed for over 1,000 but so did James Allen at one point.
Maybe thats why people want a big name RB in here?

DD had 4 fumbles on the year. At this point he is going on something like 250 carries without a fumble which is undoubtedly one of the longer active streaks. Of the RB's above him in terms of yards last season, only two had less fumbles, Martin with 2 (who fails miserably on your breakaway speed test) and Fred Taylor with 3 (who fails the durability test).

Can DD be improved upon?--absolutely. But RB is about 7th or lower on the needs list. Bet when training camp gets here DD is the lead back with a rookie big back coming in to share time.

Domanick Davis is the man in Houston, as far as running backs go. Why is it that people don't like him? I don't understand.

It isn't that people don't like DD,but if you listed the top 15 runningbacks in the league.. some would have him and some wouldn't. and as far as top 10 runningbacks... it is tough to crack that one..

DD is a solid RB, no doubt about that.. but not a gamebreaker that teams need.. Defenses don't sweat DD carrying the ball 20+ times like they do a Preist Holmes or L.T. or even a Corey Dillan

:rofl: Thats awesome
 
Gary Brown was in fine form in 1993 with 1,002 yards in only eight games. Only problem with him was that he got bad out of shape and never found that "fine form" again.
