I don't care where he plays. He just needs to replace the production. I'm sure JD will do what JD does. So If Wandale can come in and score 8 TDs then he is replacing Stanley's prroduction. Will he average 14 yards a catch? IDK.
Why do people say this? Every team in America has somebody they have to replace with a new guy. Alex either shows up and plays well and that helps the defense or he doesn't and that could hinder the defense. If he is good enough to play and is the best available, I will believe he is ready. I believe he is just a tad a bit ahead of Tannor right now. Both of those guys will see significant snaps, but what has Caleb Tannor or any other OLB done that makes you worried for a senior to figure it out and step up? This position is wide open and we need someone to consistently step up and take it. I trust Alex has turned a corner and is getting coached up well enough to be good for us this year.
We say these things because it’s the most anticipated time of the season and none of us knows squat. Until we see an actual game, all we can do now is hope and speculate.
It’s borrowing a term used by the Golden State Warriors when they would play Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Andre Igoudala together. Those guys weren’t always the starting 5, but they were usually the crunch time lineup. It usually meant “death” for their opponents because of the matchup nightmares the lineup gave.
