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 haha i was close: http://buffalonews.com/2017/09/22/not-just-women-pilates-resculpted-bills-lb-lorenzo-alexander-pro-bowler/
TPS 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 is an interesting story and a testament to his character. He came into the NFL as a 290 DE who ran the 40 in 5 seconds. The Skins eventually transitioned him to LB, so he lost the weight. It seems he was just coming into his own when he became an UFA, but the Skins couldn't afford him at that point. Injuries marred his stint with the Raiders, who gave him a pretty good contract. It seems the stars aligned for Zo when Rex/Whaley picked him up and Ragland/Lawson were injured. Good things happen to good people who work hard.
Magox Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 You forgot Humber. Another great story. He never leaves the field. Yes, but Humber is 29, right? I could be wrong but the other guys are all in their mid 30's
Blokestradamus Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Yes, but Humber is 29, right? I could be wrong but the other guys are all in their mid 30's Turned 30 in August.
Magox Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 https://twitter.com/YardsPerPass/status/912691345332072448 Nice Bull Rush from Hughes on that play as well.
Doc Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 https://twitter.com/YardsPerPass/status/912691345332072448 He got credited for a sack
Blokestradamus Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 He got credited for a sack If he did, that's incorrect. Siemian fell 2 yards beyond the LOS.
H2o Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Lorax is one of those freaks of nature, kinda like James Harrison. I think he could still have 2 or 3 more years left in the tank given how he takes care of himself.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Lorax is one of those freaks of nature, kinda like James Harrison. I think he could still have 2 or 3 more years left in the tank given how he takes care of himself. Only 2-3? His speed is unreal right now. He runs 4.65 at 34.
jimmy10 Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 The only thing I don't like about 'Zo is that he hasn't been a Bill his whole career. He's the Fred Jackson of defense.
YoloinOhio Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 He got credited for a sack yeah I believe they said that on the broadcast
Kelly the Dog Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 yeah I believe they said that on the broadcastYeah. With 53 seconds to go. The official play was 0 yards but he got credited with a sack. http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/gamecenter/57268/BUF_Gamebook.pdf
Big C Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 If he did, that's incorrect. Siemian fell 2 yards beyond the LOS. Think he barely got back to the line of scrimmage. Yeah. With 53 seconds to go. The official play was 0 yards but he got credited with a sack. http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/gamecenter/57268/BUF_Gamebook.pdf Right. Also, I was really glad we kept him. Didn't seem like a fluke to me. Seems like he just needed the opportunity to flourish.
Green Lightning Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I loved that spin move he made on an inside rush. He's smart and used his opportunity wisely. He's a great role model that young players would be wise to emulate. We're he here earlier in his career, he'd be wall material.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 ...not much else to say about this kid.....and a locker room force........ “The Bills have reached out to me,” said Alexander. “They want me to be back. I’m waiting to see what all the offers are on the table. My wife and I will sit down and make the best decision for ourselves.” He also didn’t shy away from making it known he’d like to come back to Buffalo. Alexander’s words were made with a different tone than the one Stephon Gilmore took while interviewed during Pro Bowl week. “I would love to go back. It’s a great football city, a blue-collar town and family oriented. It’s right up my alley.”
Big Turk 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. Especially considering he used to be a DL, OL, and TE...dude has pretty much morphed his body from 300+ lbs to 235lbs and stayed good enough to be useful in all those roles...THAT might be the most remarkable thing of all...dude deserves everything he gets...He is a beast.

Charles Romes Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Have to give credit to Doug Whaley for this find.
HappyDays Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Have to give credit to Doug Whaley for this find. Whaley always had an eye for talent especially in pro personnel. His downfall was his inability to manage the cap and going all in on EJ Manuel. But yes we can thank him for some very valuable members of the team.
