I guess it pays to complain. Last year Alexander caused a commotionin Seattle when he thought he was dissed by not being given an opportunity to selfishly break a record. His whining has paid dividends. Every time the Seahawks are anywhere near the goal line he's given the ball. He set a TD record and having been pulled from last weeks game to rest for the playoffs, Holmgren allowed him to come in later to score anotherrecordtouchdown.

I still say the Seahawks are not for real. They are boys playing
in a babies division. The SeaHawks will go down in the first
playoff game and it will be attributed to chicken fingered, out of
bounds running, and "Where da hood at", afro arms bl...
recievers. I do not believe Holmgren will play J. J. much and he
will pay the penalty for his Caste mentality. It was Joe
Jurevicious and Jeremy Urban that got the team through the mid season
when Holmgren had no choice but to play them. Somehow the "
Genius" will forget it once the bright lights of the playoffs bounce
off his multiple chins.

I know that you meant..Alligator arms instead of Afro arms.."SO stupid," Bart..These coaches want to see their players accomplish great things..Just like Dungy wanted to see Payton get the passing record that HE got last year.

The definition of "Afro arms": the inability to catch even the easist of passes that are throw directly into ones hands, occurs especially in pressure situations. Note: this affliction has NO bearing whatsoever on amount of playing time, draft status, or media and fan support.

If that is the Definition of "Afro Arms," theneveryone should want afro arms..because the best reciever in history is Jerry Rice..especially when it comes to clutch catches, hands and big catches in big situations..right..or cris carter..I mean I can nameALOT OF recievers withGREAT"afro arms."

The strongest arms in the world belong to Magnuss Samuelsson the blonde haired-blue eyed man from Sweden-MVP in the NFL is Peyton Manning.
Did Steve Largent,Lance Alworth,Ray Berry and Dave Casper have"afro arms"? Sammy Davis Jr. had "afro arms" and never caught one pass!!!!

"Guests" is Tank (or anyone else's posts once they're banned). I guess they should be called Buttheads or Know Nothings rather than Guests.

Tank's mentality was revealed in his final post, whichwas deleted, in which he threatened that he and some of his "black and white friends" were going to have Caste Football shut down. Any site that doesn't agree with the Caste System party line doesn't have the right to exist, in the fevered, totalitarianminds of twerps like Tank.

Wow. Have it shut down? I missed that one.

Geez.

Unfortunately, idiots like Tank do not realize, or remember, that in other times and places, THEIR preferences and right to freedom of speech (and ideas) would be banned, not those akin to Castefootball.

Better to have a free exchange of ideas where nothing is shut out than to take that slide down the slippery slope and ban 'unapproved' speech. History has shown, that in a short time thereafter, ALL speech is 'unapproved!'Edited by: White Shogun

Actually the Alexander situation is pretty complex.

The reason he gets so many TDs is because the Seahawks mostly have speed receivers (exception is the 6'5" Joe Jurevicious) who are pretty worthless once inside the Red Zone so that is when they switch to the Running Game to Score.

Alexander got screwed by the team when they Franchise Tagged him for this year (he deserved it after his anti-HolmGod comments though) so in my view everything is pretty much even and I would rather complain about Vicks massive contract or McNair not retiring to allow for the Rising of Volek.

Not so Lord Lugdreg, he had an unusual stipulation in the 6.3 million dollar one year contract he signed this year that bars the team from tagging him as the Franchise player. He will be a free agent next year and will be demanding top dollar.

Nearly any RB is going to do well in Seattle. He is easily replacable. He also runs behind perhaps the best offensive lineman in football, Steve Hutchingson. Edited by: Kaptain Poop

You really think Joe Jurevicius is slower than Bobby Engram??

Or is this more of the 'slow, white possession receiver' nonsense?

Joe Jurevicius is by far, "hands" down, the best wide receiver on the Seattle Seahawks. Edited by: White Shogun

well, in defense of Alexander i would be pretty pissed if i missed out on a rushing title by what, a yard?
and JJ would probably have around 15 TDs if it wasn't for Alexander rushing for so many TDs

For a different take on Shaun Alexander, check out the following article, here.

The article says that Shaun Alexander and Heath Evans are best friends.

Here is a pic of Shaun and his wife, Valerie.

Let me elaborate, I was speaking more in terms of the history of starting WRs that have been playing for the Seahawks going all the way back to Joey Galloway and more recently Koren Robinson and Daryl Jackson.

The recievers that HolmGod seems to like are the fast speedy type (many think that he is attempting to copy the All Offense all the time style of the Colts).

Joe Jurevicius is clearly not a part of this overall Seahawks trend (he was most likely brought in by the Seahawks to fill a spot on the roster for the right price), and no I don't think he is slow but at 6'5" that is one of the traits of a possession type receiever.

Clearly with the year Joe Jurevicius has had he should be #1 or #2 on the depth chart and they never should have let Jerhame Urbane off the Roster either and should have kept him on there for the remainder of the year at least as a reward for doing so good for them this year.

I would have never thought Evans and Alexander were best friends. Usually on pro and college sports teams the white and black players don't hang out with each other at all in their free time.

I know, it surprised me too, whiteCB, although in years past my best friend was half black/half Korean, so I guess anything is possible.

Well, at least he's married to a black girl. With a name like Valerie I expected a white woman.
