James Harrison was a practice squad player in Pittsburgh before finding his niche as an OLB in the 3-4. Not saying that Alexander is the next James Harrison, but he seems to be able to do anything coaches ask of him. Perhaps his upside at LB is higher than we think.

I'm thinkin the same thing; I could see him as a starter at OLB or ILB for the next 5-6 years if healthy. Definitely should get an extension, though I know he just signed one this year.

When they first announced they were moving him to OLB I thought it was crazy simply because he's been moved around already & his original position was DT. So why not have him play DE in the 3-4? Now I can see why they put him there. It doesn't show in the D stats but in the last 2 weeks we've seen him make big plays & we've won.
