Revised Drug Policy = Frank Alexander Back?


DOMOMAN

Recommended Posts

The new policy does not loosen the stance on PEDs. 

 

From this statement he made you can assume it was related to PEDs

 

 "I recently learned that I tested positive for a substance that is banned by the NFL. The NFL policy is strict, and I have chosen to take responsibility,"

Hats off to Addison and Horton, and Gettlemen for drafting Ealy.  our pass rush is our bread and butter, and we have a lot of bread and butter.  Alexander could be released when he is activated--I am guessing, but he may not be better than the boys just mentioned.

I must admit I am very interested to see Alexander play after all the preseason hype. If he has improved he will be a beast and probably our starter if we loose Hardy.

If Frank does do well he could end up being our starter for years and it could mean bye bye Hardy.

Frank was not suspended for PED's.  It was for substance abuse.

If it was for PED, he would be back depending on when the test was according to this "One note on retroactive discipline here: Players who had a violation after the last game of the 2013 season arising from a first stimulant positive test will have suspensions immediately lifted and will enter into the substance abuse program."

However, from a recent article on ESPN, Frank Alexander is not on the list to be reinstated.  http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11535705/five-nfl-players-reinstated-new-drug-policy

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
