Get rid of Alexander
Boo. Absolutely no love, eh?
Seriously, it's way odd that his performance took such a dive. I've been watching him play for over 11 years now and it's truly not like him. He's either permanantly hurt somehow or something else is going on.

Before his “MVP” season we called him “Scooch” ‘cuz everytime a defender got around him seemed he’d just sit down.

Seattle run game is lacking, so they sign a "short-yardage" guy (Duckett) who averaged 5+ yd/carry and Jones who averaged even less at 3.5 yd/carry. I don't get it - maybe I'm missing something.
JJ's performance was frustrating in 2007, he softened the defense for a while until MB3 came in with fresh legs and hammered the big plays.

He's either permanantly hurt somehow or something else is going on.Running backs tend to have a pretty short career, and when they start to fall off it's often dramatic. They can't make that one break as quickly as they used to, they can't quite hit their top speed as quickly, and all of a sudden the holes they used to slip through start closing around them.
But if Alexander really "wants to know whats up," the answer seems obvious:
Alexander has had two injury-filled and ineffective seasons since signing his deal, including last season in which he ran for just 716 yards in 13 games.
After two bad seasons in a row, he'll have to start fighting for his job. It's a results-oriented business.
