Comments on: ALEXANDER VISITING CINCINNATI http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/01/alexander-visiting-cincinnati/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:19:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: timmd0gg http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/01/alexander-visiting-cincinnati/#comment-23235 timmd0gg Fri, 02 May 2008 05:06:33 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/01/alexander-visiting-cincinnati/#comment-23235 To answer nemesis, I am comparing Alexander to Rudi Johnson in regards to usefulness: Career totals: Back Catches Yards TDs Rudi 101 588 1 Shaun 214 1511 12 Best seasons: Back Catches Yards TDs Rudi 21 146 0 Shaun 59 460 2 Watson 52 374 0 Perry 51 328 2 If only Stephen Jackson was their 'flavor' of back, maybe we would have made the playoffs more than once since I was in middle school. Still, though Shaun may be past his peak, he seems more of a threat than Rudi. Best case may be a health Kenny Irons or Chris Perry (if that exists). To answer nemesis, I am comparing Alexander to Rudi Johnson in regards to usefulness:

Career totals:
Back Catches Yards TDs
Rudi 101 588 1
Shaun 214 1511 12

Best seasons:
Back Catches Yards TDs
Rudi 21 146 0
Shaun 59 460 2
Watson 52 374 0
Perry 51 328 2

If only Stephen Jackson was their ‘flavor’ of back, maybe we would have made the playoffs more than once since I was in middle school.
Still, though Shaun may be past his peak, he seems more of a threat than Rudi. Best case may be a health Kenny Irons or Chris Perry (if that exists).

Who knows, he could be decent again if he's playing for a contract. With that said, Jimmy thinks the Bengals should be more concerend with stopping the run than signing running backs. The way to beat that team always has been to run right at them. Also, can we please stop with all the Bungles, Clowns Squealers stuff. It's ALL incredibly stupid. It's like stuff second graders would find amusing. Alexander should be a low risk move. Who knows, he could be decent again if he’s playing for a contract.

He has never known for being a third down back, nor has he ever been known for being a receiving threat who can break long gains in space and his pass protection has always been mediocre at best and half-hearted mostly. I don't think he'll be a good fit for the Bengals at all - he is mostly a 1st and 2nd down back. timmd0gg,

It was justified when the BENGALS hadn't had a winning season for about 15 years, but times have changed in the last 5 years, where the BENGALS have been 42-38. Granted, it isn't a Patriots dynasty, but they have been competitive. Why don't the rest of you join us here in 2008! Welcome to the present! Amen!

I love the youtube highlights on Simpson. Don't forget the Squealers and their recent arrests. Maybe Jared Allen can get a DUI on a boat in the land of 10000 lakes, a la Eric Steinbech... Most of the teams in the NFL have this crap going on, but everyone goes bonkos over the Bengals. Amen, bondem777. I love the youtube highlights on Simpson.

Jerome Simpson. I love these people who criticize without knowing the facts. I am also tired of all the stupid Bengals jail jokes because it is not fair to Carson Palmer, Rudi, TJ, and most of the other players on the team for the actions of a few. Also, Denver and the Vikings have had way more arrests in the last 12 months and nobody rags on them.

He is better than Rudi, even if he isnt in MVP form anymore. Oh, and the Haters need to quit spewing the negativity. This time of the offseason, all 32 teams feel like they are contenders. Bengals fans get tired of hearing all the crap, and ost of it is unoriginal like 'Bungals'. I can make fun of 31 teams in the NFL right now, even the pooptriates and the revoltin' colts, and especially the sh*tsburg squealers. The only team with braggin rights is the Giants. Who dey, sucka's. I like the move for several reasons: Gives us another option in case Rudi sucks again, gives us someone that can be useful in the passing game, and gives me a stud RB for Madden 09!
