26CornerBlitz Posted August 29, 2016 Author Posted August 29, 2016 Wired for Sound: Lorenzo Alexander (3:38)In this edition of Wired for Sound, we mic'd up linebacker Lorenzo Alexander in the Bills preseason game against Washington.
Billschinatown Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Talked to a skins fan friend today. He was raving about Lorenzo's ST play.

4BillsintheBurgh Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I looked at it again. His left arm wraps close to, if not at, Cousins' knee. That's going to get called. I really don't understand why they don't require qb's to wear knee braces on both legs. If it's so important to the game that they are protected, the qb's should be required to wear whatever gear makes them less susceptible to injury. I would think it makes this call where contact is initiated above the knees but the act of tackling brings the defender lower easier to not make.
OhDozeBills Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Regarding LoAlex's sack, does anyone think the Bills sent that into the league to get an explanation if the call was correct or not? Would love to hear if Dean Blandino thought it was the correct call. If it was the correct call according to the rules, then that's really lame! Part of me thinks the refs make even the borderline calls on QB in preseason to send a message but perhaps that particular call wouldn't be made during regular season Edited August 30, 2016 by OhDozeBills
Utah John Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I was on vacation and couldn't watch the Bills v Skins game, but I was able to hear the radio broadcast on line. The replay of the Alexander sack shows it was a terrible call. I wanted to ask about the OPI call at the end of the game. I was watching the Browns game in a bar, and Josh Gordon manhandled the DB, pushing him out of the way so Gordon could make a TD catch. The commentators were a little embarrassed that he got away with it but said that's the kind of non-call Gordon always gets. I wondered if the Bill OPI was anywhere close to that level of a push. The Bills commentator on the radio said, yeah, there was a little push but nothing like what receivers usually get away with. Bottom line, it seemed like Hochuli and crew were just out to screw the Bills, and protect the Skins at all costs. Were there any questionable calls that went in the Bill's favor?
Stranded in Boston Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I also just saw the Alexander sack and RTP call. Just wow ... can you imagine how many times Bruce Smith would have been flagged for that?
Utah John Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I also just saw the Alexander sack and RTP call. Just wow ... can you imagine how many times Bruce Smith would have been flagged for that? None. Bruce Smith was a star. There are different rules in the NFL for stars.

Billschinatown Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 So wait. I'm trying to figure this out! Is Lorenzo the starter opposite Hughes OR is Lawson?!?!?!? Help.
Doc Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 So wait. I'm trying to figure this out! Is Lorenzo the starter opposite Hughes OR is Lawson?!?!?!? Help. He might be. Then again, he might not be.
3rdand12 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 He might be. Then again, he might not be. because Lawson may be suspended may be not. May have a lingering injury? maybe not. : )
Doc Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 because Lawson may be suspended may be not. May have a lingering injury? maybe not. : ) That's the "news."
3rdand12 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 That's the "news." fact, Doc. you made the right call again. I want to like Lorenzo anyways, good story hard smart player
Billschinatown Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 In Pre-Season.....Lorax looks like a better pass rusher. Manny isn't that great of a pass rusher.
John from Riverside Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 In Pre-Season.....Lorax looks like a better pass rusher. Manny isn't that great of a pass rusher. Never has been.......he is however a very good edge setter and can cover
Billschinatown Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 I guess that answers my question....
26CornerBlitz Posted September 2, 2016 Author Posted September 2, 2016 I guess that answers my question.... It would seem so until Shaq is back.
Billschinatown Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 It would seem so until Shaq is back. Redskin fan coworker was really raving about him. He's been behind the scenes been a favorite for rex. The hint was him saying if the game was today Lora would start a few weeks back. Out of the blue.
