    Alexander's better than POS

    Without getting into explanation: If no trades are made.. I think Rufus Alexander will be a better LB in the NFL that Posluszny, ESPECIALLY in a cover two defense-- and Alexander could be had in the second round.

    There wont be as many teams on Alexander's radar as some other LBs because kinda like Cato June, he's built only for a cover two defense.

    I think Buffalo would be EXTREMELY foolish to take Posluszny in round one; whether it was at 12 or trading down. They'd be much better served to draft a potential franchsie RB like Lynch; a solid #2 WR to give Evans much needed help; or even trading down and then taking a TE like Olsen (though I HATE Rosenhaus clients)

      Re: Alexander's better than POS

      why do you think Alexander would be a better fit though? He's shorter, only weighs 228lbs and ran a 4.8 40 yard dash? If you think Poz is slow, he's even slower. He has crept into the last two picks of the 1st round in some mocks recently(chicago and indy....to replace Briggs or June). So, apparently people think he fits into the Cover 2 well, but other than those two teams reaching for him, he should be a 2nd round selection. Has anyone seen him play a lot this year? Does he have great instincts, make people around him better, or great leadership? If so, share the info, man.

        1- I said Alexander is a second rounder.. I never said the Bills should draft him in the first round.

        2- He does fit into a cover two well, only a handful of teams use it, that's why I think he's there in round two.

        From nfl.com"
        Compares To: Ian Gold, Denver -- Put Alexander in a Cover-2 defense, where he will play in space and utilize his speed, and you will have a very effective player on the weak side … Some compare him to Derrick Brooks, but while he has that closing speed, he lacks the instincts and feel for the ball that Brooks displays … He could make like Seattle's Michael Boulware and shift to safety at the next level to compensate for a lack of bulk … He is best served playing on the move, as his recovery speed lets him make up for a lack of superb field awareness.

            His nickname is Chad Greenway.

            Very productive player in college.

              Thanks for the insight on why you have your opinion, I was just wondering why you liked him better as a starter for SLB to replace Spikes, when we already have two smaller faster guys back there in Ellison and Crowell. It's gonna be like having 5 large safeties on the field(when you add in Ko and Donte). That out to help our run defense. At least they should(in theory) be faster to the ball and able to gang tackle people, rather than just mis-tackling like last year.

                  Absolutley ZERO facts. The two arent even remotley similar in build, style of play, or production.

                  The only thing they have in common is they are white. Which I suspect is pats hangup. Hes yet to spit any factual reasoning other then "I just dont like him". Doubtful hes even seen a game.

                    Well i just can't wait to see the angry posts of Bills fans after the Bills select Paul Posluszny in rd 1 at pick 12 ....

                          wow.. a 4.7 is still awful..



                          that is great.. pat calls pos slow.. and he ran faster than alexander.. yet pat has a boner for alexander and says that he would be a perfect fit in the cover 2 speed defense.

                          and the guy who won the best linebacker in the country award is a piece of crap.

                            Alexander is black. Therefor he gets a pass.

                              but his name is rufus.. isnt there a deduction for that, even though he is not white?
