Ickey44 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 No. Unless Perry gets hurt again. Watson's fine, and Dorsey's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Alexander would run for about 2 yards on 100 carries with this line. He looks really slow now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 anyone think we should have signed this old overated RB now?Do Steve Hutchinson and Walter Jones come with him? Because that's about the sole reason he was any good.Jesus H. Christ, Mewelde Moore looks good behind Steve Hutchinson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaxonFord87 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 How many yards would Alexander have to get for the move to be even worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 How many yards would Alexander have to get for the move to be even worth it?At league minimum, 6 to 7 hundred yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Just heard the same thing if its for the vet min. why not you never know could be a descent 1-2 punch with alittle K. Watson in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettespd20 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I bet we pick him up within the next 10 days!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Shaun Alexander? Really? Why not Tatum Bell? I know he's got baggage, but.........(voice trails off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwilly Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 this would be a silly move.Artose Pinner is a better player. Detroit (Millen) showed his lack of brains by cutting their best RB. Pinner would be a more effective player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregstephens Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Why not Tatum Bell?I know he's got baggage, but.........(voice trails off)Tell me you did not just say that.Actually, he doesn't have baggage...he gave that back. He does, however, still have the contents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Pinner would be a more effective player.That's your opinion Willy. I'll go with a player who has set records and made Pro Bowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duus Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I saw this quote on the player profile on CBS Sportsline's fantasy section:Shaun Alexander, RB SEANews: Free agent running back Shaun Alexander told the Associated Press in an interview that he isn't going to retire. Instead, the 31-year-old Alexander believes he will sign with one of a handful of teams that have provided a "constant flow of calls," including his hometown Cincinnati Bengals. His extended family in Northern Kentucky already is making plans. "They want me to be Tres Siete," Alexander told The Associated Press by phone Friday.Analysis: Alexander grew up in Florence, Ky., across the Ohio River from the Bengals' waterfront stadium. Two months ago, X-rays showed the cracked bone in his left foot that ruined his 2006 season and hampered him in '07 is finally fully meshed again. The broken left wrist he had to begin last season is fine, too. He said he's willing to share roles, that he doesn't need to carry the ball 30 times a game anymore. He just wants a Super Bowl title. Keep tabs on this situation, but now is a good time to take a flier on Alexander if you can stash him as a reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinc1129 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 For the league minimum, why not? They have nothing to lose. If more than that, forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spor_tees Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I figured if they did decide to give Alexander a shot, it would be after the first game so they can give him less money to play. If he can run at least a 4.5, I say they give him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whur CHad At? Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 sign alexander for the minimum...then prepare to draft chris wells next year with the #1, or #2 overall picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ickey44 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Are you kidding? Until we get an offensive line, no one will be running for us. Tomlinson would suck with this line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whur CHad At? Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I have been saying this for a long time...we never should of let Steinbach go. He was willing to take less money to stay here, similar to Kris Dielman in SD. And what did I hear, especially here? "He wants to much money", "Whitworth and Andrews are the future". Now you can't say I told you so. It was a HUGE HUGE HUGE mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Steinbach got used today along with his teammates up in Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
