Lorenzo Alexander

Lo Alexander is just a football player. End of discussion.

:doh: Overused media jargon!

I would take an entire team made up of him.

He's a classic Joe Gibbs type player, I would love a roster full of Alexander type players with his character and skills.

I have been saying for the last couple of years, the guy just makes plays every game. Whether its special teams, DT, DE, he just ends up making a play during the game. As far as him at OLB, i think it is just as bad as Carter. Chris Wilson deserves a chance to play. He fits the role a whole hell of a lot better than those two DE's trying to play OLB. Wilson is quicker, not as bulky and can do both, rush and cover.

^Said the same thing earlier this week. Not sure why they don't have Wilson starting and Carter/Alexander as the back-ups. Wilson already has the experience at linebacker (backing up Orakpo last year) and has shown he can handle the position, at least for now.

Let him play OLB all season, see how he does & then give him an extension w/some starters $. If anybody deserves it it's him.

Wilson is the question I should have raised vs Carter. I know Wilson can pass rush, but I'm not sure of his coverage ability and I've seen him over commit on running plays. I was impressed with Alexander's speed for a guy his size, though, and the fact that he doesn't give up on plays. He chased someone down the other day and that's not something you see too many guys at 270 doing...

If Wilson plays well at OLB, might be interesting to try him as s starter in Lorenzo's OLB spot and move Lorenzo on the inside, where his size would be appreciated. NOt knocking Rocky but he is kind of smallish to stand up to an unblocked OG.
Please keep Carter off the field except to rush the passer. He is so one dimensional it is time to get rid of him when we can find someone or two to replace him.

I remember he injured something trying to chase down Brian Westbrook.

I think he's like our Anthony Spencer/etc/etc. The run stuffer, etc of our D.

Lorenzos a great player. Whats odd though is that when he first got here, he was a DT in the 4-3. Then last year he played DE and DT, then Shanahan got here and said that we're switching to the 3-4, I was like great, now Lorenzo will be one of our starting 3-4 DE's. Nope.

Apparently Shanahan and Haslett are pretty smart, and know what their doing, moving him to OLB, in a James Harrison-type role. I figured how can a DT play OLB? Apparently I was wrong, because this guy isn't a OLB, he's a football player, and, laugh if you want, but an Athlete.

Wilson has been playing a little more and more the last few weeks if I am not mistaken.

Lorenzo is a great player, and one of the coolest Redskins players as we all have seen. Since he actually answered our questions via video message!
