Cards Sign Lorenzo Alexander

I'll hold you to that, but you'll wiggle out of it by saying "You can't believe anything I say! I'm a fan!" like you do with every bogus prediction you make.

hold him to what? he didnt say its a lockdown fact to occur? he said he would be dissapointed.....

And I would be.

Tell you what K9, if it ends up we dont get those 3 starters Ill make sure to express my disappointment just for you bud.

And if we do draft that well and this time next year I bring it up, I bet you develop carpal tunnel writing paragraphs on the standard definition of "3 Long term starters" and how because of a negative DVOA in games at 4:00, a guy with 10 sacks actually sucks.

How does a guy as big as Alexander become a special teams ace?

That is surprising to me since most of them are guys like Bethel or Morey.

And how does a guy that size run that fast? That's just hard to fathom.

And finally how much does he actually weigh? nfl.com has him at 244. Wiki at 275 and Profootball-reference.com has him at 300. 300! I wonder where that came from? 6'1" 300? He'd have to eat dinner every night with Lutui. He could spell Big Dan at NT!

According to nfldraftscout.com he weighed in at 289 lbs at the combine.

Wow. Casey Hampton, Pittsburgh's long time NT is 6'1" 325. Brian Robinson who played NT for us for a while was 6'4" 305. Maybe Bowles could put Alexander in the middle in an emergency.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is actually 275 now, but the 244 number is definitely lower than he actually weighs. Also he actually measured in at exactly 6'2" at the combine so I'm not sure where the 6'1" numbers are coming from.

Apparently he dropped 15 pounds in the 2011 offseason to gain speed and quickness. Here is the link.

Actually: 244 might actually be correct I found another source that says he lost 30 lbs before the 2012 season.

I watched a clip of him on kick coverage. The guy is WIDE. Don't know about how he'll fare as an OLB but I can't wait to see him cover kickoffs for us. An area that was in desperate need of improvement.

I saw one on youtube against the Eagles in 2010, but he has apparently lost at least 30 lbs since then. Actually here is a good look at him just this past season.

Cards/Suns/DBacks, why the Dumervil talk? He's a great player, but he's a 4-3 DE, and we're going to continue with the 3-4 defense. This is the NFL and not Fantasy Football.

And after reading all the other posts, I'm glad I didn't pile on Steve Keim earlier in the week, even saw one post talk about the team being cheap or something to that effect. I guess some posters don't mind being made to look stupid/silly because, I guess posters are like CB's, they have short memories.

Who's talking about Dumervil? I was talking about Lorenzo Alexander.

CardsSunsDBacks, on my computer at 5:22 PM (I believe) you have a post suggesting the Cards should try to get their hands on someone like Dumervil. Or at least that's what I read.
