I guess I am exactly the opposite. I'm not worried about Alexander, but rather the Seahawks' passing game. The Bengals' secondary has been picked apart so far this year, what with Leon Hall and the backup safeties making the expected rookie mistakes. Also, Jonathan Joseph can't get healthy, and Madieu Williams has still been a disppointment to me. Furthermore, Hasselbeck and Branch are better than any combo the Ravens or Browns could throw at them. If they couldn't stop Derek Anderson, what will Hassellbeck do to them? :eek:

On the other hand, Alexander is just starting to show some age, and like you said I don't see him breaking off any big gains. But unless the Bengals figure out how to cover some receivers and get some pressure on the QB, Seattle won't need him.

I guess I'm looking at is as yes, our DBs have struggled, but I think they'll be ok, and even if they don't stop Seattle too much, good luck going blow-for-blow with our passing game, cause only a very few teams can do that, and I don't think Seattle's one of them.
