Opinions: is Frank Alexander a possible cut?

[Jmac]

I had high hopes for him this year, but not looking to promising so far. The trend seems to be that Rakim Cox has potential, hard to say so after a few plays against  2nd and 3rd stringers....actually would be happy if he panned out. Would D.G cut F.A loose if he doesn't show out in the next three games?

Do we even have enough depth at the DE position to cut him? Always liked Frank and would hate to see him fail. Could big Frank be getting his walking papers or be retained due to the lack of a starting caliber DE for rotation purposes? What you got?

I think 1 preseason game is not a trend to be honest.

No

Why is this site suddenly obsessed with cutting every defensive end on the roster?

[Kuech the Sneak]

Yeah let's cut our starting DE after an average first preseason game

What happened to the no knee-jerk reaction threads rule...?

Unless Frank misunderstands the meaning of "joint practice" with the Miami Dolphins, I think he'll make the roster.

Really dude? After one preseason game? Wow

Over reaction much?

[SCP]

I think when Gettleman says he will keep the best 53 players, he means it.  He takes emotion out of the decision so anybody outside of our core guys could hit the bricks.

With our DE depth outside Charles Johnson? No way.

[Khyber53]

He's fighting for a roster spot just like the other DEs except for Johnson. He's got some knocks against him and the suspension last year was stupid on his part. We could have used him big time, but he let us down. He could have been building a stockpile to better guarantee his job, but instead he was sitting on his couch.

It is too early to judge after one pre-season game, but he's going to have to actually work for it to keep a spot. In the NFL world of "What have you done for me lately?" his best answer has been nothing.

Good luck to him, but there are other DEs gunning for him and he doesn't have a bulletproof vest.

I can't see anyway Big Frank is cut.  The DE I think should be worried is Wes Horton.

Just testing the waters here to see what the feeling of the huddle might be. As SCP said, DG takes no prisoners.... .don't produce and you will be gone. We don't have a starting DE right now and R.R said as much. With the suspensions last year,  the powers that be might not be so quick to give him a pass.
