This Frank Alexander being benched for Wes Horton nonsense needs to cease!  Alexander showed a lot of promise last year.  He plays the run better than Horton and Addison as well as being an excellent combo with Johnson when Hardy slid down during the Nascar package last year.

 

I was livid Sunday watching Addison getting blown off of the ball on the second half running plays.  I forgot that they were letting Addison get a larger workload because of Hardy's illness.  When Horton, Addison, and Fua are in the front seven becomes real pedestrian.  Every big run came when Addison was in the game.

 

Alexander has a good football pedigree and was a steal in later rounds.  He showed great potential his rookie season backing up the flashes that earned him co-defensive player of the year at Oklahoma.  Many on the board thought that this kid could be good enough to let Hardy walk or at least give us more leverage.  Now he isn't even good enough to get a jersey?  Rivera has enough of a sample size of the other two backups and it is time to get this kid on the damn field.

Gettis, maybe?

 

 

Gettis

 

He kept Gettis in there until his departure.  If you are an injured WR, you don't get out.  I believe Hixon is going through this at the moment.  Frank lost his cool in the first game, but damn he is a young player.  Hell, Rivera might have cut Smitty for punching a CB if he is this hard on Alexander.  It basically equates to a two game suspension.

      New Huddle FAQ

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Does this mean only topics from within the last year or any topics with posts from the last year? i.e. if there are any old threads we feel should be kept around for whatever reasons, would a bump of that thread before the update ensure it's kept around in full or do the posts from more than a year old still disappear?

      Ikem

      I'm more intrigued at him becoming our future LG. There were some people who thought he was better suited to be a guard in the NFL to begin with.  Then if Freeling ends up being a legit LT, moving Ickey to LG could give us an incredibly strong left side of our OL for years to come. Ickey has only played on the Left side his whole career, both in college and the NFL, so I just wonder if keeping him on the left side, even if shifting inside, would be better than putting him outside on the right side. Just hoping him growing up a Panthers fan will make him want to stay here and move positions than enter FA so he can stay at LT somewhere else, particularly since LT is the big money position on the OL, so he likely can get paid more by someone else to play LT than play LG or RT here for us.
