    I say no. We need to get the OL better.

    No, but I think that says as much about Alexander as it does about our line.

    Not looking to beat a dead horse, but if Fox wants to take that next step with the running game, he's going to have to continue to address the offensive line. Reyes is just simply not up to par, IMHO. Mitchell--be it steroid related or not--just does not get off the ball like he used to. I have seen mulitple cases of #60 pulling or slanting down, and completely whiffing on a 230 lb linebacker. That needs to be addressed.

    I would like to see us spend what can create in cap room on a starting right guard. I would also like to see us, in some fashion, address center, whether it's now or next year. (BTW....when is Mitchell an FA?).

    FWIW, I think Foster, Goings, and Shelton would thrive behind an stronger offensive line. Foster could have darted for 200 yards Sunday behind Seattle's line. He could have rushed for 1500 behind the line of KC, Pitt, or Sea....or any of the "elite" run-blocking lines out there.

    Just adding Wahle and hoping the rest falls in line is simply not enough. I'm sure Fox is aware of that, which is why I would be shocked if it is not continually addressed.

    For my money:

    Foster
    Goings
    Shelton
    Draftee

    Stud at RG (if at all possible)

    oh....and....a pair of testicles for Jordan Gross. That would rock!

    Seattle needs to keep him out there. I figure once they step up and pay him for what he's accomplised, they'll be cap strapped for years...

    plus weren't there a lot of rookie running backs last year that made impacts on their teams? I want one of those guys.

    I could actually deal with losing Foster & Davis, but Spoon is a priority and I'd like to see McCree stay as well

    Chester Taylor, anyone?

    Honestly, I am still kinda pissed that we were one year late on Lamont Jordan. We would have overpaid, but he would have been a nice back in this offense.

    Seattle is projected to be about $21 mil UNDER the cap for 2006.
