Gooses Take : Shaun Alexander, Its time to draft the future

Ok. So after watch Shaun run even softer over the last few weeks and listening to KJR radio hosts say how "Gutsy" he is for running while hurt. He had altered his running style severely this year to protect his arm. Because we have no depth.

I bring this bit of wisdom to the table. Shaun Alexander needs a challenge.

I dont see Mo Morris as the future.

Its time to do 2 things.

Invest a #1 or #2 pick on a RB to take Shauns place in 2 years.

Sign a veteran RB (Maybe a former starter) as quality depth.

I'm tired of seeing Shaun run protecting his body over getting additional yardage. Im tired of leaning on a back that doesn't block or catch the ball. I think Shaun is still a quality back, not a superstar, but quality. I think getting a young hungry back in here is key. I like the multiple back approach that Indy used. I think different style backs add to a running game. Some have Speed, some are slashers, some are power. Lets sign a vet so that if SA goes down, (He's had two broken bones in less that 14 months) we have a back who can carry 24-100.

I'd like to think SA has a few good years left, however loyal the Hawks may be, they need to prepare for the future. I think a top need next year will be RB. I hope Tim Ruskell see's it my way

Thats Goose's take...Happy Friday all
