It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Vrabes got some OLB reps - part of an effort to keep him tuned up in case Rosey or TBC go down. What you saw is BB's 5th LB for the Playoffs, Alexander, getting as much game time as could be managed.Actually quite a few 2nd+ stringers took a lot of reps in the Titans game. If you have the ability to get guys in and play, do it. You cannot find out what they have unless the get in the game. I don't think it is anything more than that because I didn't see Vrabel line up on the outside. That would help your theory, bit I don't think it happened.

We also forget, next to Izzo, he is the most experienced reserve LB left on the roster...Preparing for any and every contingency, it is the Patriot way..

Yep, we'll really need him for Special Teams.ABI - Anyone but Izzo...
From what I've seen of him, I really think that Alexander has alot of potential to fill those old Phifer shoes.

Given that we have to play every week of the playoffs, (lord willing), trying to keep our "older" linebackers fresh, may be part of the overall plan.
Are you basing this on PS? I almost always come away impressed in PS with Alexander, but I haven't seen him stand out the times that I have noticed him on the field in the regular season.
(Of course, I am sure that I did not catch all of his snaps considering I have only seen about 50% of the games so far.)
