Why haven't the Denver Broncos been utilizing Stephen Alexander more?

The reason is Javon Walker. The Broncos are a running team first. Alexander is a good blocker.

I agree with Bears is that you should see how Alexander comes back from his injury before he reclaims every week fantasy status. But he has an interesting matchup against San Fran, who he should be able to run upon . . . then again they shouldn't put up much of a threat so they may not need him or need to push him hard this week.\nAddai is solid for about 90 all purpose yards and lately has been crossing the goal line. I think Addai will see a lot of his yards come off the catch this week but I wouldn't hold my breath for a score. I'm thinking this could be a big week for Wayne and Clark.\nMcAllister is a nice back to have. It'll be interesting to see how he is used this week in what could be a NO/Cincy shootout. \nGood luck to you this week, if I were you I'd roll the dice on Alexander and play him against SF and go with Deuce over Addai because I think Dallas will try to grind clock on the ground and will score against the Colts putting Peyton into pass mode.

Yeah, he isnt utilizing the talent he has correctly.\n\nSteve Smith is one of the best recievers in the game...how is he not getting thrown to 15+ times a game?\n\nHenning apparently thought he was being flashy with those third down runs, trying to expliot a horrible Washington defense. That could have easily lost them the game.\n\nDeshaun needs to get 15-20 carries a game, Foster on short yardage downs, and get the damn ball to Steve Smith 40% of the time!

Shaun Alexander will have a good year in 2006. Better chance that happen is yes he is one of the best in NFL he ruled and showed people. What he done at, Alabama was great also he is by far a out standing runing back and he will break his own record he did it with out the big money. Since he's got the money he will be proven he's worth it. He will not fizzle like so many other's.  ICHOOSETOTELLTHETRUTH

Because they have hard times signing the right players to long term deals.  I really think the next 2-3 years will be big for the C's.  It is rumored they could pickup Andre Miller from Denver in a trade- and if they do the right thing with their draft pick they should be a decent team...but we need a big man!  #1 priority someone who can rebound!

Brunell's run as a starting QB in the NFL has officially ended with this.  As a 3-6 team, the Redskins are all but out of the playoff hunt so why not look ahead to the future?  Benching rookie QBs into their second season is a new fad in the NFL off the success of Philip Rivers and Campbell being adjusted will help him.  Campbell's mobility, much like Romo in Dallas, will be key to future success.

Larry Johnson. This will be his first full season as a starter. He will run for close to 2,000 yards and 20 TD's. Just look at what he did last year in 8 games. Alexander is getting older and has more wear and tear on his body.

One reason is because he doesn't secure the football well when he runs.  Another is that his offensive line stinks.  And finally Lee Evans is his only decent receiver.\n\nFor more on the Bills and the NFL, check this site out  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

Kind of funny this one is still open, but yes lol and if they fortify their O line, he will put Fans in the seats again.  I do not know about the defense down there, but I saw him turn defeat after defeat after defeat into victories simply by having a good RB and TE, you guys have that I think, plus a good WR, give him the O line and you got something special going there.  That of course will not get you to the play offs, we have been building a hell of a defense out here, but a offense like that will make it worth the price of admission.

I don't think so, as tough as he is, he's not getting enough help from his line.  The Steelers have lost that hunger, and in doing so have become sub average team.  They should pull him for safety's sake since the season is basically done for them anyways.

Slow development, like all true rookies.\n\nThey are going to have a tough road to get a wildcard, with Seattle, Cincy and San Diego on the schedule.\n\nCutler is smart enough not to make some of the bonehead mistakes Plummer makes.  He's got a better arm, and he was used to making due with less talent at Vandy.\n\nThere's more wrong in Denver than just Plummer.  The O-line is dinged, and the Bell's are not the answer at RB.  The once vaunted defensive has lost Ferguson and Brandon.\n\nStill, why not start the future now.  Cutler can use the work, and hopefull hit the ground running next season, win or lose.

Holmgren will not bench those guys, so you can just keep dreaming.  Alexander was the MVP last year. If he had kept his face off the cover of Madden 2007, he may have been able to avoid the Madden curse.  Since he didn't he has had to sit out for part of the season.  But he will be back and he will not be put on the bench.  Holmgren screwed up with him in 2005 by not allowing him to achieve the top rushing yards honor.  He won't make that mistake again.  As for Hasselbeck, he will come back stronger than he went out.  Need I bring up Trent Dilfer?  Competition just makes Matty play harder.

Shaun Alexander should have a big day

Eeeh, good question. I was expecting a lot more from them after last year. Maybe it's because of the lack of Clinton Portis and because Brunnel hasn't been playing that great. Also, their defense hasn't been playing like they did last year. They are falling apart on both sides of the ball. Since playoffs are pretty much out of reach for the Skins this season, I think Gibbs should just play around with the Depth Chart.\n\nAlso, look at their schedule. They had to play tough teams like the Vikings, Cowbos, Giants, and Colts. They are actually in one of the toughest divisions, competing against the Giants, Cowboys, and Eagles. All of which improved a lot more from last year.

No,  its stupid in my humble  fan opinion.      As the great Steve Young says you never pull a veteran QB unless your hopes of the playoffs are gone.   And the broncos are still in the hunt....WIll they still be?  TIme will tell....Im saying no......Because teams will go hard after the rookie.......He may have looked good in preseason but that was preseason......And alot of the time he was partly running with the second string....The game is so fast and Denver runs a very complicated offense......For people who expect the kid to just go in and be an instant star are wrong.    I wouldn't be surprised if he had a really terrible game on Sunday that some broncos fans would be calling for him to be benched...some fans are so fickle.....In my humble opinion Plummer was the  best shot......But what do I know?   Ex Broncos like Terrell Davis are saying its a big mistake to pull JPlummer  out.   People are quick to forgot that the broncos were one step away from the superbowl last year.......Plummer  didn't lose it for them...The defense did.......

The Redskins do not have a first round pick this draft. They would be 22nd but they traded their first round pick last year to Broncos in order to get Jason Campbell. By the way, I love the Redskins.

What do you mean "with Alexander gone"? The Seahawks re-signed Shaun Alexander for eight more seasons. The re-signed Pro Bowl fullback Mack Strong. They expanded their receiving corp by picking up Nate Burleson from the Vikings (a Seattle native). Hasselbeck is just starting to mature as the leader of the Seahawks. 2005 was the first season that he began to understand Mike Holmgren's West Coast offense. Hasselbeck will be a hall of famer if his next 5 seasons match his 2005 season.
