TAMPA — Maybe they're not as pumped up as Kwon Alexander, but the Bucs are really excited about the way some of the no-names, retreads and wannabes are playing on defense lately.
News broke Monday that Alexander is taking his medicine (legally) and withdrawing his appeal of a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing drugs. That means his rookie season is over unless the Bucs reach the postseason.
Alexander is the team's second-leading tackler, calls all the signals and has made more splash plays than anyone for the Bucs this season.
On the other hand, aren't you excited to see what Danny Lansanah and Bruce Carter can do?
