3. Lorenzo Alexander: There are no egos on this defense

Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander was on The Jim Rome Show this week to share his thoughts on Buffalos talented defense. Alexander thinks the sky is the limit for how much the group can grow, one reason is due to the selflessness.

There are no egos on this defense, Alexander said. Theres no guys that have to be the one to get the sack or have to be the one to make all the tackles.

As a 13-year vet, Alexander has been a part of plenty of defenses. What he likes about this group is the depth.

We have great depth, Alexander said. I mean we have a guy like Taron Johnson go out who is a great nickel for us and we have guys like Siran Neal, Dean Marlowe, Kevin Johnson kind of fill that role by committee. We have other examples at other positions as well, but that is really our calling card is just having great depth, great versatility. Guys can come in no matter who it is and get the job done.

The Miami Dolphins announced Wednesday that Ryan Fitzpatrick would start at quarterback, but the Bills will be ready to see Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen.

At the end of the day you prepare for what their offensive scheme is, obviously each one has their own strengths," Alexander explained. With Rosen right now they are doing a lot of RPOs, getting the ball out of his hands quickly to build that confidence and get some positive yards. When you talk about Fitzpatrick who is a veteran in this league and has been around a long time, he has a great command of the offense already and theyre willing to do a little bit more drop back. Obviously he has something about him when he has his mojo dust about him where he can extend plays, make things happen, guys rally around him.
