In his 24 years of coaching, I believe we have only taken 6 offensive lineman in the first two rounds ( all turned out as great or solid players also) during his tenure it has been actually rare to draft very high with offensive line. He has also received high praise from others in his field.. Finally Marvin has let coaches go in the past.. if Alexander was as terrible as you think he would be long gone by now.
Trust me I like other coaches also example Joseph but he is also working with like 5 1st or 2nd round picks in the draft.
Meh. Any time he's had a great o-line it featured multiple early draft picks (Willie Anderson, Steinbach, Levi Jones, Whit, Zeitler, Andre Smith, etc). When has PA ever developed a mid-late round pick into a good starter? When has he made an elite group without multiple early draft draft picks?
Jay Hayes can make that claim. Alexander, not so much.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
