Lorenzo Moving Inside

[JoeRedskin]

As an 3-4 inside backer, does he have more coverage responsibilities than if he is outside? Anyone know if the guy can cover?

I mean, it seems to make sense given all the young talent at OLB (White, Jackson, Kerrigan, Orakpo) and, like I said at first, I thought he was more of an interior guy anyway. Maybe they put him at OLB b/c it didn't require him going sideline to sideline? Maybe they thought he didn't have the speed to stay with a TE deep over the middle? I guess the bottom line is - does he have the physical ability to meet the demands of the position?

I really am just curious if anyone actually knows his physical ability. I love the guy and am sure he has the heart and the football i.q. to play the position - but when a TE goes deep (not talking Gronkowski - but your standard NFL TE), does Alexander have the speed and athleticism to stay with him and cover him effectively?
