Good...there's step 1. Now if he will only come clean on the other 249 things he's been wrong on over the years, especially the Seahawks.

I can't stand that buffoon.

Actually, you can't blame the guy for saying that though. Throughout the entire NFL, RBs usually have a down year after they sign a big contract. You see guys avoiding contact, running out of bounds, and doing the opposite of what got them the big money. It happens more often than not, so when Prisco said that, it wasn't personal against the Hawks. It was just a general statment that is usually true. Just ask the Titans.

Still cracking up at his Patriots 16-0 prediction.

One of life's mysterious questions is how that guy was EVER hired by a major corporation to be a sports writer. I read better pieces on Bleacher Report.

Players at all position slack off after they get their big contract. People around here just remember what Sean Alexander was like after his - take a knee and wait for contact.

Why is it that the people who like to dis Alexander are the same people who don't know his name is spelled SHAUN? This can't be a coincidence, it happns way too frequently

Alexander was the best RB we have ever had. Lynch has been great, but everyone is so quick to forget the production that we got in Alexander's first 5 years. He was amazing.
What would Lynch be like with Sean Alexader's oline?

Lynch would be like that Tampa rook Doug Martin vs Raiders on Roids, with double NOS bottles
on each side of his Nike Cleats, playing against Pee Wee backups.


Okay, maybe I went a little too far with "backups"

Shaun Alexander scored 27 TDs, led the league in rushing yards (10th in the all-time single season list) and was league MVP running behind Sean Locklear.

How about THAT.

Lynch's running style is impressive and his yards after contact make him look a stronger runner than Alexander, but one reason Alexander didn't get many YAC is because he was so good at flat-out making defenders miss, and then his speed allowed him to get away from defenders.

Even if he was running behind a line of Jones-Hutch-Tobeck-Hutch-Jones Lynch would probably still get caught after 10-15 yards most times he broke a "big run" because he lacks that top-tier speed.
Watching AP on Sunday was like a reminder of 2004-05 Alexander, Lynch will probably never be able to give us a performance like that

There's some truth to that.

The 5-0
Alexander was very good. His line was out of this frikin' world.

Make no mistake about it, you could grab 1/2 dozen RBs from around the league, at any given time, that would put up numbers similar to SA's behind that line. Here's a good way of looking at this (because I know you ain't buying what I just said) :

SA averaged no more per carry than Ricky Watters did before him. And Watters, who was sort've a cross between SA and Lynch, had many, many miles (and hits) on him while running at the same clip as SA.

SA laid down too much and did so un-apologetically. He was "soft". Few know or want to believe this, but Hutch hated SA with a passion and when the Hawks re-signed SA, the fools we were, Hutch had seen enough and bolted. That is fact. The FO caved into our groupie type fan base and letting the league MVP walk would have been a PR nitemare. Consequently, we've been living a nitemare ever since. Ring of honor, yes. Hall of fame? hell no.

Can you back this up? This is the first time I've heard this interpretation.
