I like that the coaches are thinking outside the box.

If Wilson and Alexander are in the line-up and an offenses lines up with the stong side opposite Carter it would essentially put us into something 3-4ish, where Carter would be 3-4 Rush LOLB then the Griffin/Monty would be the LDE Haynesworth the NT Alexander the RDE and Wilson the ROLB.

I like the idea, it get Wilsons much needed playing time and it puts Alexander in a postion to play the be the run stopping LDE that Blache's system calls for.
I guess that Alexander would come out on 3rd down and Wilson would shift to DE.
