This is an update of the previous post, after we got Tim Ruskell in the parking lot.

OK, here is the deal with Shaun Alexander. KJR's Softy Mahler was reporting that Alexander is about to be let go. We ran into Mike Holmgren in the parking lot of the practice facility as he was leaving, and he confirmed that he did speak with Shaun today at the facility. He did not disclose what was said. But he said unequivocably that Shaun is not being released immediately. He said he could not be released right now anyway because of his injury. He had surgery on his wrist and is currently wearing a cast. When asked if Alexander was going to be released at a later date, Holmgren deferred to Tim Ruskell (which to me says "guilty"). So a little bit later, Ruskell comes out to the parking lot to leave and we asked him about Shaun. "Shaun Alexander has not been released," Ruskell said. "What about the future?" we asked. "Shaun Alexander has not been released," Ruskell said. Holmgren said he also met with Mo Morris and had a good conversation with him.

I was reading through some of the first comments/questions on this thread and wanted to clarify something. We did not have a lengthy conversation with Holmgren. It was essentially about Shaun. Holmgren was on his way home and wanted to make sure we knew that Shaun was not released, but not a great deal past that other than talking about T.J. Duckett and Julius Jones. Holmgren said he really likes the acquisitions of the two, though he has to figure out exactly how he is going to use Duckett. I hope that clears things up somewhat.

Fuck Alexander dood. I'm so glad I didn't buy an Alexander jersey. We have like 5 RB's right now haha.

he could be a good 3rd down back some where

But as a starter he is one of the most overrated RB's of all time

He hasn't had a good season since his MVP year. He's been declining fast...

You know you have a unique team when you are mad as hell when your kicker signs somewhere else, and glad that your once MVP running back is about to get released.

Dude are you serious? Josh Brown signed somewhere else?

Didn't he sign a monster deal (for a kicker) with the Rams?

Yeah, the hawks offered the same amount, although the signing bonus would be paid over a longer period of time, and Josh Brown is a fucking tratior.


Enjoy last place, josh.

Good.

Steve Hutchinson made Shaun Alexander look good.

Draft the Orgeon Ducks running back PLEASE!!!

That's fucking gay, he had no reason to leave. He was treated like a king in Seattle, he had his own sections in TV shows, and no one loves their kicker as much as we worshipped Brown. Fuck that, guy.
