Safety Gerald Alexander in Green Bay

Alexander was a starter for Jackonsville last season and was expected to be a starter again this year but was a surprise cut on Saturday. He played his first two seasons for the Detroit Lions, who traded him to Jacksonville last year.

I'm glad to see Ted Thompson isn't settling for the shite secondary he's assembled this offseason. As a player from scrimmage Derrick Martin scares me. And Peprah hardly fills me with joy. Both are replaceable.

I'd take him over Peprah. I'd take Martin over Peprah as well, solely because of Special Teams (and I like his intensity on the field).

Peprah is actually a solid special teams player.

Personally, I'd add Alexander and let go of Jarrett Bush or Patrick Lee. I think that's something the Packers can afford to do.

Keep in mind, he's played for some of the worst pass defenses in the NFL (2007 Det-31st, 2008 Det-27th, 2009 Jags-27th). It would be one thing if he were cut by a team with a good pass defense, but the fact he couldn't stick with the Jags says a lot.

From his stats, he looks more like a play in the box SS than a cover guy. He's started 27 games (played in 36) with a total of only 11 passes defended in 3 seasons (but also has 4 interceptions), with 111 solo tackles/143 total in those games.

Stats can be misleading, though--if he was the cream of the crop on a defense that leaked like a sieve, maybe they just didn't throw the ball his way. I haven't followed him close enough to tell the difference...

If he was the cream of the crop, he wouldn't have been cut. He must have some real flaws in his game to go from a 2nd round pick to traded to cut so quickly.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (23h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (23h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.
