So, Rivera's camp MVPs were Hardy and Alexander, huh?

[cbully]

Camp MVP should be taken with a grain of salt. Rivera's MVP last camp was Armanti Edwards who didn't even make it to the halfway point of the season before he was released.

Armanti Edward>Hardy/Alexander= Child please! These guys will actually benefit the team!

[Nick81]

Our OTs make Alexander look like the MVP of our team. If that doesn't scare you about our tackle situation, then nothing will.

They did well against our pass rush and Buffalo's pass rush, so I'm not too scared about the situation.

I think that is the name of the award.

The "Armanti Edwards TC MVP Award"

You're not giving Alexander much credit, huh?  Dude has some talent, and that's probably the only reason that Dave Gettleman kept him around notwithstanding Alexander's problems.  If he has finally matured, then there are reasons to think that he will make a similar leap as C.J. and Hardy did when they were working their way up the food chain.  He has shown flashes.

Alexander had a pretty good rookie year at DE. he kind of slipped last season. this being his 3rd season he should be starting to find his groove. 

[csx]

It means he thought they had a good camp, nothing else.

[top dawg]

Doesn't matter, the fact remains that they are both going to have to continue their solid play once the season begins in order to make a case to stay on the roster (which could ultimately affect C.J.'s status).

If he is found guilty at his trial in November, it won't matter how well he plays...

I love we have Alexander. To me he has looked great.

 

Im pretty comfy about our line subs.. hope we can do that and keep them fresh over a long season. Ealy, Alexander, Addison. I love all 3.

To my eyes Alexander doesn't have CJ's strength, nor Hardy's speed and fluidity. I wouldn't compare him to either of those players. He has good height and size, so that does some work for him, but he doesn't really excel at anything imo. Doesn't mean he can't be a solid contributor to our defense, but I wasn't impressed in the past with his play. The jury is still out of course, and maybe he's made a big leap in play, but I just don't think he has a high ceiling. Time will tell, and R.R has the final say.

It's too small of a sample size to really get a feel for their blocking ability imo. I'm worried, but hoping for the best. If our OT situation tuns out well then we'll be in great shape.

He has played on the same level as many of our players their first two years.  Hardy and Johnson were not blowing up the stat sheet their first two years either.  Alexander plays the run well and does get after the QB.  He has some good athletic ability and has done well in the playing time he was allotted.  CJ had Hardy both struggled early and didn't receive much PT either.  Alexander is coming along just fine if you compare him to where our starters were in year three.  So chill out and watch this DE depth produce this year.

Bigjohn is the MVP of this thread.

We should have a better idea this week, since the ones will be out there until half-time, or later.  The fact that they're keeping our pass rush at bay, and didn't give up a sack against Buffalo's ones, makes me feel pretty good.  They won't see much tougher pass rushes all season.
