Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign CB Mackensie Alexander

[Bigtex67]

Now or never? He was considered a developmental guy and it's only halfway through his second year

I agree it is early for Wright as a development project. However, I think the experience will be of high value and highlight what he and the coaches need to work on in the off season.

 

[Cowboyny]

He is. But he’s depth that we need. Bland stays in the slot and Joseph / Sheffield / Wright will play outside

Definitely gives them more depth and options. Can even consider moving Bland to the outside if one of our corners went down.

 

[Cowboyny]

Yeah that is where he has played. End of the day he is providing depth and capable of playing outside.

Not sure if we want him outside, but definitely a quality slot corner. Could always move Bland to the outside with this move.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

It was Hunter's 1 quality NFL game...

Was it a quality NFL game or did Parcells stay too conservative and fail to attack him sufficiently?

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

I would ask the mods that the next time some fool posts CHAMPIONSHIP he be banned for life.

Seems proportionate.

 

[tunahelper]

He’s never been solid

He is a roach?

That is a fine scrap-heap signing. Alexander has a lot of playing experience, but most of it has not been good. Still, it's mid-season free agency.... you take what you can get at this point.

well not many others left 13 weeks into the NFL season , question is ,

is he better then Joseph or bland? how about Shefield??

with our Pass rush it can help when they dont have to cover long or deep often.

 

[blueblood70]

All of this was said about Kearse let's give the guy a chance smh

said about many players like hooker, kearse, Steele, etc etc.

 

[Whirlwin]

3 career INTs. 32 passes defended. Definitely backup material.

And that’s all we’re looking for

 

[EPL0c0]

Im curious to see what Al Harris can get out of him

 

[Portnoy1]

I suspect his primary contribution will be on special teams, with KJ moving to a starting role.

So what you are saying is our special teams penalties will decrease………but our Passing TDS given up, Pass Interference calls and defensive holding calls will go up, sprinkled in with some decent run stops?

 

[Risen Star]

@Whirlwin first to report.

 

[Typhus]

Yeah, but with Bland playing slot, we need corners to play outside

Yep..
What concerns me the most is moving Bland out of the slot where he is settling in and playing really well.
Would rather leave it that way, and deal with the issue developing Joseph or other option outside.
Moving Bland would create two issues, even though Bland is probably the best option outside, just leave him inside is probably the best choice.

 

[Whirlwin]

@Whirlwin first to report.

Thank you my cowboy brother. But I wasn’t. I realize someone did it yesterday look I don’t hold grudges. I take everything as an individual post people take football serious I get that , peace

 

[TrailBlazer]

Great signing. He can help us. Better than Bossman right now.

 

[FalseStart75Pozderac]

Im curious to see what Al Harris can get out of him

Shoot......Al looks like he can still play.

 

[xwalker]

Isn't he more of a slot/nickel player?

If Bland was out, they would have moved Brown inside with Joseph outside.
- i.e. Brown wss the backup Nickel CB
- Now they need a new backup at inside CB (McKenzie).

FYI: Sheffield is taller than Brown and Joseph. He is a legit option on the outside.

 

[xwalker]

3 career INTs. 32 passes defended. Definitely backup material.

In college he had a very low targets per snap played and therefore a low number of INTs and PDs.

I'll check his targets per snap in the NFL.

 

[Risen Star]

Here's a little highlight reel but it should be noted one of the plays is against Prescott.
