Alexander appears to be the new #1 QB

About how Alexander is ahead of Brent now, Mack said:
"If the game (were) today, I'd go with Greg." (HA)

Note: According to HA, Alexander took 45 of the 57 reps during 7-on-7 and team drills yesterday. According to HSB, in 7-on-7 drills Alexander went 21-29 with an INT while Brent was 6-11 and in team drills, Alexander went 5-7 and Brent had just 3 plays.

About why Alexander has moved up in the depth chart despite Brent saying he's "100 percent" recovered from his arm ailment, Mack said:
"What's happening is that Brent's arm got hurt. While Brent's arm was hurting, Greg started healing up and playing well. ... We're going to play the guy who gives us the best chance to win. ... Both of them are getting plenty or reps right now. Greg is getting reps with the No. 1s (first team)." (HA)

Praising Alexander, Mack said:
"He's mature. He's got a strong arm. He has great size (6 feet 4, 225 pounds). He has 22 college games under his belt. I believe he can go out there and not get intimidated by their fans." (HA)

About the decision over who starts at QB, Alexander said:
"It's the coaches' decision, but I have to be prepared like I'm going to be the guy. ... No sense in stressing myself out about it. I can only control what I do. The decision is going to happen one way or the other. I can't stress about it." (HA)
