Defenses have skewed towards the recent trend of taking the passing attack away. Offenses across the NFL have begun to use two tight end sets more than ever before, and we are having a revitalization of the fullback position in recent years.

Since entering the league in 2018, Alexander has been one of the better cornerbacks in the sport. He can play man or zone, and so is a good fit for Mike Macdonald's scheme.

The rule of thumb has been proven true, at least so far, and given the Front Office and John Schneider a chance to learn some tough lessons.
