The juice Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Huge liability in the passing game when asked to cover. Really showed against the bucs. Having a hard time figuring out what Buff can do to cover his deficiency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Not ask him to cover often and hope you aren't caught when you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Play nickel if you can on a 3 man front He really is overrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 OJ Howard hasn't been used in the passing game all season. Brate's been the man. Lorax hurt us, but when the 2nd string TE is hurting us, I'll say it was more of a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Play nickel if you can on a 3 man front He really is overrated I know that PFF is often a little goofy with numbers but they surprisingly have him the fifth rated edge rusher in the league, alongside most of the top guys like Von Miller and Cameron Wake, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Did you expect something different from a pass rushing - run stopping specialist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hes a great story. He did a great job last year. Stand up guy, very good STs player....I had no interest in having him back this year. He just had no fit in this defense. We have Preston Brown out there already running around with a piano on his back. We really dont need 2 LBs on the field that cant run. Brown should be the SLB. The Lorax should be strictly STs or not on the roster. Love having him on the team. If its a 3-4, different story. He just doesnt fit this defense...

boyst Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way! PFF use a lot of college interns and cheap labor who just watch games and arbitrarily grade individual players. That used to be real bad, they let anybody watch him try to judge not knowing anything about football. That their intersbe have gotten better, but it's still not that great at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Its not the physical but the mental lapses that concerned me. He seemed to miss at least two assignments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You know that the positive attitude towards Lorenzo Alexander has changed on TBD, when he's referred to as Zo and not as The Lorax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos63 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Huge liability in the passing game when asked to cover. Really showed against the bucs. Having a hard time figuring out what Buff can do to cover his deficiency Until last season, he's been not much more than a special teams player, something unusual happened last season. It shouldn't be a surprise that his career as a top end pass rusher didn't take off at the age of 34 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Umm...yeah OK...I completely disagree Im not sure how you can comprehend this defensive scheme and disagree with what I am saying. He has no place as a 4-3 LB. Other teams try and force Alexander and Brown into coverage because they are both way to slow to stay with anyone. They are both major liabilitys in the passing game and cause monster holes in the defense. Its the wrong era to be a run down LB. 20 years ago, fine. Now you need to run if you are a lb. especially in a 4-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Zo? That's not Zay I'm guessing. **Sigh** I need to get hip to the lingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelle Getty Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 He is painfully slow in pass coverage. Needs to be a pass rusher and STeamer. The coaches are asking to much from him. The Bills would get more value from him being a role player doing what he is good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
