to release Manny Lawson...hard to imagine Lawson having a bigger impact than Alexander who has been very good rushing the passer and also active stopping the run as well...

 

What a pleasant surprise from a guy expecting to be a role player and key Special Teamer.

 

Alexander leading the team in sacks and seems to be getting constant pressure off the edge and even up the middle at times...

 

Another key LB pickup by Whaley along with Zach Brown

 

and has contributed mightily on special teams

:rolleyes: That's what they brought him here to do. It's great he's contributing on Defense as well!

 

I realize they brought him in to play ST's, but he's been a monster on defense. No need to play ST's anymore.

When he joined the Redskins in 2006, Alexander gained the nickname, "One Man Gang", due to the versatility of football positions he can play; offensive guard, tight end, linebacker, fullback, defensive tackle, defensive end, and special teams.[24][25]

Great ST units often have key defensive starters involved. I love to see top-notch talent and speed out there on coverage teams.

We won and no one got hurt, i guess rex and whaleys jobs are safe for another week

yep, we'll probably lose to Rams (who may be as good as the no gronk, no brady team we played last week), and everyone will want their heads again. rinse, repeat

@PrescottRossi

Rex Ryan admits he didn't see this kind of role for Lorenzo Alexander and he's been blown away by his production so far.

I'm in DC and he was very good for Redskins as well. no sure how he fell off the radar

Seven sacks in five games, this is the kind of production we expected from a former $100M player who is no longer on this team. How on earth at 33 is this guy having the production on the field that he is, especially when he never put up these numbers anytime in his NFL career? Is this just the perfect scheme for Alexander or was he never afforded this opportunity before as a full time pass rusher?

He is obviously benefiting from the scheme and the attention payed to other players. Kyle Williams is having a terrific season rushing the passer and Jerry Hughes is absolutely relentless - one of the best guys off the edge in the NFL.

 

That being said, Lorax is MONEY. He is going to get even better when Dareus and Shaq come back. Adolphus is also starting to show why we drafted him. This team has some talent.

Adolphus had by far his best game. His quickness off the snap is special. Really impressed with Jerel Worthy as well.

 

Lorax and Zach Brown both tackle with ferocity and fundamentals. Bills have developed a lot of depth across the front 7...when Lerentee McCray is making plays you know the Bills are rolling..Shaq and Dareus will be huge additions to a really good core.

 

This has been nothing short of an astounding turnaround...One game at a time.. Bills fans have been teased like this before a couple of times in the 16 year playoff drought...just trying to stay calm week to week.
