Mackensie Alexander: On an island by choice
Clemson cornerback Mackensie Alexander prefers to be on an island by himself, whether it’s in the secondary on football Saturdays or when asked to do interviews. What do defensive coordinator Brent Venables and safety Robert Smith say about Alexander? Full Story » |

The assignments on that play were really interesting. I think Kearse and Wiggins ended up in about the same zone and Smith came over of the cover 2 look we showed pre-snap to cover the TE at linebacker depth. No doubt in my mid that if Mack keeps his feet we defend that pass or if Wiggins/Kearse is assigned to the TE and Smith stays back that he at least makes the tackle if not discouraging MacGuire from even makin the pass.

It's three years removed from high school. He was red-shirted last year. I hope he stays more though!

He was amazing. I'm glad that most people are remembering his performance as a shutdown corner on an island. NFL will be licking their chops watching him this season.

Sounds like he has his head and attitude together - and the talent was never a question. Sounds like the rehab time was well spent - kudo's to MAC. NASTY...

He & Fuller would've been lethal together.

They'll likely wind up the first 2 corners off the board in the '16 Draft.

Tank was not as highly recruited as Mac but Clemson really have two shut down corners. Peters gets the nod over Tank right now because Peters is pretty good in his own right and an experienced senior. Don't sleep on Tank. Talked to some of the players and they have stated Mac and Tank are the best in man coverage.

If Alexander is on an island by Choice--does that mean he is on an island with Choice, or did Choice choose to have his own island? I want an island.

I love coach V. He is the first to take the blame for things, and never throws his players under the bus. I sure hope he stays here for a long time.

So Green got 9 catches all while being covered by Alexander? Does anyone have the stats on this? Was Alexander covering him on all 9 catches?
