You can beat beat confidence, and to have that much confidence with his work ethics and talent. His space is absolutely a no fly zone!!!

Please pass your work ethic onto the rest of the defense. Thats the only way to truly build DB U!!

That is why Mac will still be playing in the NFL long after Manziel has washed out.

It's been a great luxury to be able to put him on an island.
Dec 30, 2014, 4:37 AM
|
|
He's been burned a few times this season, but that's islander life. Whatever yards and points he may have given up, was probably made up for 5 times over by being able to trust him on the island and therefore being able to bring a safety into the box or on a blitz. That stuff doesn't show up on Alexander's personal stats, but it shows up on the D's high (hopefully #1) rankings.
Heck of a job!

It's the ones that minimize those situations who you really want, and Alexander has certainly held his own and more this season.

He's like a shortstop that wants everything hit his way or a goalie that wants to catch and spit out forty shots a night. Athletic, smart, dedicated and fearless. Some kind of player.

Pretty obvious that the ESpin bias exist when a Freshman acknowledged it!
#2 was awesome last night!
I remember his commitment day when he said: " everybody wants to talk about the SEC , but WE (meaning Clemson) is going to win a National Championship"
I see him emerging as a leader on next years Defense!!
Go Tigers!!

He's going to be in the NFL one day and take care of his parents for the rest of their lives. Before that happens, he needs a title with us. It's going to be next year folks.

Great game MacKenzie !! It's great to hear all the work that you put in to be prepared for a game. I also respect the way you handled the "trash talker", he ran his mouth and you shut it by giving him nothing but a paltry few yards on 1 catch. Looking forward Spring Practice already. Keep up the hard work. GO TIGERS!!!

He could leave after next year (You need to be 3 years removed from playing high school ball), and I believe his brother is at Auburn but not sure what kind of season he had

Mac has backed up everything else he's said, and I hope he backs up "We're gonna win a National Championship." He's the perfect mold for a leader-- he doesn't waste a lot of time OFF the field using his mouth... he just quietly does his job ON the field. And on Mac Island, he's like the Lone Ranger... and I have no doubt that #3 last night and several other top notch wide receivers this year has wondered after going up against him, "Who was that masked man?"
Way to go, MacKenzie! Can't wait to see you next year.
Go Tigers.

I remember seeing Alexander in downtown clemson
Dec 30, 2014, 8:23 AM
|

The year he was redshirted. I went up to him, talked to him briefly and then said "i remember watching your highschool film, man you are a beast in highschool" he replied and said "sh!t im going to be one here too". So far he has kept his word. I hope he doesn't go to the draft after next year. I want him to stay until at least his junior year

I wonder what happened in Atlanta. I was there and watched Ga. Tech target him multiple times successfully. I got home and watched the game again. I'm afraid that my original thoughts were correct. Glad that he's back next year.

GT is a different beast with that offense.

Usually Mac can just shut down his guy and block out most of the rest of the stuff, but against GT, corners have to be ready for the option as well as the pass, and he looked like a guy seeing that offense for the first time.

Simple answer was he was a mismatch...by height. GT's WR Waller is 6'5"...Mackenzie is 5'10". That is why he was targeted, because they went to exploit the height difference against a RS Freshman. The QB though was having to throw near perfect high tip passes to get by Alexander's coverage, so it wasn't always successful. But a 6" height difference (plus the wing span difference that'd also create) is why...Mackenzie was on their tallest and best receiver.

It's me vs. you, and that's the way I want it. You think you can beat me? Prove it. This kid is going to make a LOT of money someday. I can't wait for Blanks to get back on the field. Our secondary is going to be a monster next season.

Could learn a lot from this guy, and help Clemson become DB U.
Would be the best player mentor and friend a guy with Fields' abilities could ask for, honestly.
