Kwon Alexander for a conditional 5th!
 
Done deal. Conditional 5th and Kiko Alonzo to the Niners for Kwon.

He was always a killer at Tampa. Is there an injury concern?

We just got that much faster on defense.

Tiny little cap trade getting rid of Alonzo. If it doesn't work out no harm, no extended contracts.

Say that again for those in the back who may have missed it.


Loved his range at LSU, even more so his sideline to sideline speed with the Bucs and Niners.

Outstanding acquisition & enormous upgrade for the Saints.

I hope they don't call the cops. It looks like we stole him.

Pro football Doc says he has been dealing with a high ankle sprain. Might not pass the physical.

So a bum (knee) for a bum (ankle)?

Hey if we can work out playing some games at Baton Rouge might as well bring a LSU guy along! Hopefully more speed at LB allow the DB's to take more chances and make some more plays.

Is his ankle back to 100% now?

saintsfan1976 11-02-2020 03:16 PM

Re: Kwon Alexander for a conditional 5th!
 
Do we run more 4-3 alignment now?

Will be interesting to see how DA uses him alongside or in place of Anzalone

Payton says he'll be competing with Anzalone for the one spot. We play more 4-2-5 than anything else by far, although you could call Malcolm Jenkins a LB at times. Jenkins and Demario Davis play every snap. Anzalone played 63% against the Bears. Davis and Anzalone were the only two true LB's to play any snaps at all. That means we were in a nickel or dime the entire game.

Re: Kwon Alexander for a conditional 5th!
 
Huh... most people were thinking about a trade for either an edge rusher or safety. I never envisioned trading for a LB.

Makes sense though. Alexander has the speed and range we’ve been lacking outside of Demario. He’s instantly the 2nd best LB on the team and should start as soon as he learns a few things about the defense.

On the downside, Alexander misses lots of tackles and he’s always injured. I guess we’re hoping his athleticism can help with coverage.

What about Zach Baun? I guess it’s a redshirt year for One Snap Zach.

Re: Kwon Alexander for a conditional 5th!
 
Kwon Alexander, when healthy, fits more into the nickel, heavy nickel, even dime packages...

And the nickel is the new normal if you haven't figured it out...

Yup. Nickel is full time unless we go dime. We haven't had three true LB's in the game for more than a few plays all season.

We'll probably see more 5-2-4 Goal Line alignments than 4-3-4...

Only way the NFL returns to more 4-3-4 is if we correct the near-sightedness of Goodell and revert back to the pass defense rules of the 80s/90s, which I'd not be opposed to seeing happen...

Playing defense now is tantamount to flag-football...

Most likely the rest of the season. He broke his foot.

Competition and depth, that's a good thing. Should work out fine as long as he can stay healthy.

Sounds like he’ll fit right in.

Re: Kwon Alexander for a conditional 5th!
 
CGJ needs to be replaced, hopefully this allows that to occur in base. CGJ is worse than Jenkins at this point. Let’s give Robinson a try at nickel and play more base with Kwon. We finally have 3 LBs with speed but don’t ever play them together.

Re: Kwon Alexander for a conditional 5th!
 
Darn good player. Still young. Other than Smith, who has been less great himself, the other LB's have been mostly invisible. Upgrade with an upside with little risk.
