Del Rio: Had we known, we’d have re-signed ‘Zo

Oakland head coach Jack Del Rio is enjoying a 9-2 season in which very little has gone wrong. One mistake that he admits to making however, is not re-signing Bills pass rusher Lorenzo Alexander.

 

Alexander was a special teams role player only for the Raiders last season, and Alexander wanted to re-sign with Oakland, but they had different plans in mind. Now Del Rio is regretting their decision seeing Alexander rack up 10 sacks with the Bills so far this season.

Haha. I'm sure if he knew the guy with 9 sacks in 9 years was going to have 10 sacks this year, they would have kept him.

It's about the least surprising and least meaningful quote possible from del rio here.

he was undrafted so teams never gave him a fair shake

Yep. Im sure the regret Del Rio has has nothing to do with not being able to predict how successful he'd be and has everything to do with not giving him a fair shake in camp.

 

Rex has plenty of warts but one of the things he does right is letting players prove they can play and if they do that he moves them up the depth chart. As a player thats all you can ask of a coach.
