Maurice Alexander Signed

Let's see what he can do. Seems like a guy who could take Pete's DB magic and run with it.

I think the one thing we would all be able to agree on is PC/JS ability with DB’s so I’m pumped and jacked!

decent player expect him to be hungry .. why the rams waive him in october?

He's listed at 6-1 220, so perhaps he could play SS and Big Nickle? Fun fact: He also played with BWags at Utah St.

Why did he get released if he was the secret superstar?

I guess it was a secret that was kept from everybody!

This guy is the epitome of "chip on shoulder."

Got kicked off college team for injuring a teammate badly in a fight at a party 6 years ago. Worked as a janitor at Rams stadium until he was allowed to re-join team. Moved to safety, got drafted by Rams, played at same stadium he worked as a janitor at.

Great, we signed a scrub.

A scrub with experience as a starting safety who is not a bad player by any means.

How much did we pay this “custodian”

At least the minimum, so enough to make at least some posters really angry.

Utah State Aggie!

He's a heatseeker, alpha dog-type that could be an absolute badass with some Hawk tackle coaching. I remember him absolutely thumping Jermaine Gresham a couple of years ago.

Free agent with the emphasis on Free? If he doesn’t cost anything then why not give him a shot? Just don’t count on him.

It was such a big secret that not even all the league's coaches and talent evaluators knew about it.

Dang, this guy is athletic! From Utah State, ala Bobby Wagner.

Converted Linebacker, drafted by the Rams in the 4th round and converted to DB.

38" vertical at 220 pounds.

10' 3" broad jump!

60 yard shuttle 11.82 seconds. I don't know that that means, but he was a top performer.

Was Jeff Fisher still the coach? He's had some success drafting DBs in the past.

Excellent size and frame for an NFL safety. Since he is a former linebacker, he possesses a physical mind frame to match his stature.

Hard-hitting, impact safety that makes his presence felt to receivers that go across the middle of the field on routes.

Shows great blitzing ability with his quickness and length. He can diagnose plays efficiently and attack the open gaps to get to the ball-carrier.

Good wrap-up tackler more often than not and can deliver big hits in the secondary. Tackling efficiently will be the key for Alexander as a run-stopping safety in the NFL.

Flashes the ability to close quickly on the ball, giving him upside as a deep, Cover 2 safety as he gains experience

. More NFL teams are asking their safeties to be “mirror” players, able to play up high in coverage and as a run-stopper, so Alexander will have to continue growing.

Sees the field well, as he will locate the direction of the play quickly and attack. His efficiency at the position despite inexperience is impressive.

Came back from adversity to be a team leader in 2013, seemingly overcoming the issues that led to missing the 2012 season.

{Negatives: After he played linebacker in 2011, he was suspended for 2012 after pleading guilty to an assault charge. Alexander then returned in 2013 lighter, so he was moved to a linebacker and safety hybrid. As such, he’s relatively inexperienced.}

Sounds like a coaching job for Kam, pretty much the same breakdown as Kam had as well coming from college. That is our inside the box Safety and guy that will make receivers think twice about crossing the middle if he ahs the smarts to learn.
