Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I dont know how he's doing this honestly. IMO he's the greatest story in the NFL. What he is doing has never happened before in the NFL.
dhg Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Guy brings it every week. And he genuinely seems like a really great guy. So glad he is a Bill!
Kelly the Dog Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 The fact he is playing a different position in a totally different defense and flying all over the field and making plays is really astounding.
boyst Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 This is such a great story of the guy. Hard work, focus, all of that. He plays every snap

Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 The fact he is playing a different position in a totally different defense and flying all over the field and making plays is really astounding. It's unbelievable. They are taking care of him, only playing half of the snaps, but it's amazing. His speed is the most surprising. He looks like Spikes in his prime out there.
SaviorPeterman Posted September 26, 2017 Author Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Alexander will be 35 next year but no reason to believe he can't play at a high level for at least one more season and then perhaps be moved into a more of a situational pass rusher role later on like many other similar players who played into their late 30's. But then again he certainly don't have the mileage on his body that most 34 year old LB's do in this league since he's been mostly a backup and ST player up until last year.

He looks like Spikes in his prime out there.He's playing more than half, two thirds last week, plus a full ST load because he insisted on still playing ST. I think I heard he had 43 (of 68) defensive snaps and 17 ST snaps. So 60?

Magox Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Among the league leaders in pass rushing productivity, this wily veteran continues to shine for this team: There are three veterans who are giving us fantastic production that at some point in the not so distant future their production will drop off. Alexander, K. Williams and Meathead. Their production will be sorely missed and not easily replaced.

dpberr Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 There are five Dareuses (sp?) to every one Alexander. Alexander takes care of himself year round and is a football player not just an athlete. The Bills deserve credit too for giving him the opportunity to excel at a position other than special teams.
BillsFan17 Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Hard work will always trump talent any day of the week. Not saying Lorax isn't talented, just making a point the guy has never given up and always busted his backside.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Alexander is doing something no other player in NFL history has done. i remember when James Harrison kept putting up sacks people questioned him. Harrison actually started declining at age 34 while Alexander is improving. Hopefully he's clean, it's amazing.
JerseyBills Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 And he's still killing it on ST, having a great year, great team player
K D Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 is he on Tom Brady's yoga regimen? this guy keeps getting better and better with age
