Jaguars plan to re-sign Gerald Alexander today


Per Adam Schefter, the Jaguars plan to re-sign safety Gerald Alexander today.

So, why'd they release him in the first place?

Just sayin'.

Tight end Ernest Wilford was released to make room on the roster. The team also dropped quarterback Brett Ratliff from the practice squad.

So with him and Null, who is leaving?

Maybe

…. they thought that had better guys? And it hasn’t turned out that way. Just a guess.

by KeithG on Sep 27, 2010 2:27 PM EDT reply actions  

Maybe they thought trash was better than garbage.

by Fivus Viener on Sep 27, 2010 2:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

Alexander was awful in the preseason.

by Fivus Viener on Sep 27, 2010 2:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Coe was cut for Null

Someone else needs to be cut for Alexander.

Anthony Smith?!?

Could that mean Anthony Smith gets put on IR? (Hopefully not)

by youngnixx88788 on Sep 27, 2010 2:45 PM EDT reply actions  

I bet Middleton goes

He’s not very good in coverage at all and the only thing that was saving his spot was special teams play. But I noticed against the Eagles that Don Carey was playing as one of the gunners. If Carey is playing better on special teams than Middleton then he’s as good as gone.

Middleton

is probably our 3rd best special teamer, which is saying something.

He was last year

But I haven’t seen it this year

Somebodys Gotta Go

Alexander plays SS. That means either A.Smith is getting put on IR, or either Courtney Green or Sean Considine is getting cut. And Green has been theonly positive in the secondary thus far.

by youngnixx88788 on Sep 27, 2010 2:56 PM EDT reply actions  

thankfully

he may make mistakes but he is physically capable of playing the position. considine isn’t able. he’s simply not fast enough. it’s so frustrating to see him running to the ball and just unable to make it in time.

Rasheen?

Don’t let your hair get caught in the door on your way out!

by GAJAGFAN on Sep 27, 2010 3:01 PM EDT reply actions  

My problem with him at this point is 3 fold......

1. I get an instant case of the ass for guys that hold out when they are in a contract, and not just on the Jags. Reavis help out, not in good enough shape, and now is injured. Be a man, honor your contract, and play the damn game.
2. Rasheen got beat bad on the pass down the Eagles sidelines early in the game, and I expect more out of him. I was disappointed, but those things happen.
3. In my opinion, he just gave up or turned in a poor effort on the touchdown to end the half.

And as a veteran leader, I am just not impressed at this point, and am probably lashing out. Oh yeah, almost forgot, hate the hair!

by GAJAGFAN on Sep 27, 2010 3:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

Whats wrong with the hair?

by Alfie Crow on Sep 27, 2010 3:45 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Probably nothing......

Its not my style, and he really let me down yesterday, and so I guess I am lashing out at him.

by GAJAGFAN on Sep 27, 2010 3:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

Alfie, don’t ask. Dude can’t even spell Rashean’s name right.

by Fivus Viener on Sep 27, 2010 4:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sorry Fivus....

I will try to be more careful next time. Its nice to have met someone who has never made a mistake here. Congrats!

What about Polamalu's hair?

I bet that looks great! The audacity of a player with inferior skills, to have long hair. LOL if Rashean played better they’d be selling dread lock wigs at Jags games and you’d be wearing one.

Coach Crennel, if all of your Coors Lights can talk what happens when you open your fridge? There's generally "Hoopla" involved.

by Jagtastic on Sep 27, 2010 4:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

His hair is worth a million bucks havnt you read.....

and it dosnt seem to interfere with his playing…lol

I would not.....

but I agree it would be a big seller. Guess I am just an old guy that remembers rules that did not allow that back in the day. You are also correct it would not even be on my mind if he was playing better. As I said before, just lashing out. I am a bit confused as to why a player would want to give anything else that could be grabbed onto, but again, just lashing out.

by GAJAGFAN on Sep 27, 2010 4:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

I hear ya man

Blowouts will do that to a person. It’s understandable.

and if Rashean makes an interception, I may even go get myself a wig!

You mean the guy that is so good

that 31 other teams didn’t seem to think he was worth signing this past month either ?

I agree, he’ll probably help our pathetic secondary, but it’s not like he’ll be a noticeable improvement.

DG is the best we have and help is not on the way. I realize he's not perfect, but I feel a lot better about him at QB than I do the O-Line, DB's, or LB's ability to cover a TE.

Boo

I can’t find anyone else that I would get rid of first though…

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

Am I....

… the only one who thought our secondary without Alexander and Nelson has loooked considerably worse than our secondary WITH them?

SAD

but true.

Not only that

Our secondary looked better with Alexander and Nelson with zero pass-rush than the current secondary with a pass-rush.

KEN HAMLIN?

wasn’t he cut by the Ravens? Was a Pro-bowler a few years ago for the Cowboys… Is he not an upgrade from who we have…? Or is he done in the league?

by DocShamrock on Sep 27, 2010 3:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Hamlin is terrible. The Cowboys cut him despite having mediocre safeties. The Ravens cut him even though he is a vested veteran and Ed Reed is out. So the Ravens are paying him to be at home.

by Fivus Viener on Sep 27, 2010 4:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

lol...to what we have....

anyone is an upgrade

It doesn't matter who we sign.

The mountain the Jaguars must climb will remain very tall. Hopefully our guys just start playing better and make the most out of this season. And fan support should be just that, support. David’s amazing decline wasn’t so predictable, especially not after beating the Broncos. Let’s just hope for a rebound and have fun while analyzing the steps necessary for it to take place.

The Teal and Black are comin' back!

I'm glad Wilford is gone.

With so much else wrong with this roster, there’s no room for luxury items like a 4th TE/slow receiver/whatever role it is that he’s doing so well right now (none).

In Gene We Trust.

by MoveThoseChains on Sep 27, 2010 4:54 PM EDT reply actions  

this move certainly ccannot hurt

I mean now instead of an “F” caliber secondary has improved to “D-”

JasonLaCanfora Eric Alexander’s deal with the Jags is for two years. Fair amount of roster juggling going on there after a rough start.

by Jermaside4 on Sep 27, 2010 6:14 PM EDT reply actions  

Gerald will play FS

Because Consindine is fast enough to play Cover 2 High…he has the smarts but not the speed…the eagles were 3-18…PI Considine…60+ plus bomb to Maclin because Considine couldn’t get to the spot in time…basically the same play the Broncos ran when Cox was out there…it looked like Cox was beat, but it was Considine who was a second or 2 slow…

One life to live, live it to the fullest...

Oh no!

We stink again!!!

by ifjaguarwaco on Sep 28, 2010 5:32 AM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Reggie Nelson.....

Put Reggie Nelson at the corner…..Rashean at free….. Alexander at Strong safety……….. It would be a better Secondary

by Elmer T on Sep 28, 2010 7:26 AM EDT reply actions  

or we could have Mathis at FS, Cox at LCB, Brack at RCB, Middleton at NB, Carey at DB, Alexander at SS, with Greene their relief and then let Considine play ST
