Tells me that Alexander is feeling the pressure for Bodine to produce, or hit the road.

As he should. It should be expected that a fourth round C would have some areas of improvement initially, but the purpose of the OL coach is to iron out those issues and turn a mid-round talent into a quality starter within a few years.

Hopefully the plan is for 2016 to be Bodine's make or break year. If he doesn't step up, he stays on the team through his rookie contract and is the bridge for either Westerman or a 2017 high draft pick to take over in 2018.
