He's def going to be someone to watch for. 31.5 career sacks and cousins on the Dolphins and Bengals. Him, Adrian Hamilton and then Dirty McSurdy to come in as the guy other teams underestimate for a year or two.

I don't feel like waiting until pre-season to watch them play.

Me either.

He definetely looks like another guy that can get to the QB. He doesn't waste time he just does a quick move and then he is in the QB's lap.

someone else has to step up because we know Spencer is just out there collecting pay checks and not making impact plays.

Please let us find another playmaker on the left side of our front 7!!

Ya, let's see how Spencer does in his make or break year.

His make or break year was last year, his contract year. Think Cowboys really wish they could have replaced him but the stars didnt align.

I hear you. I think it's tough to call though. I still think he has a shot however remote that shot may be. It also hinges on who we can find to replace him.

We've really brought in a lot of players to compete for Spencer's spot next year. Right now we have:

Victor Butler
Albright
Kyle Wilber
Adrian Hamilton
Aston Whiteside

All of these guys are a bit different and I can see 2 or 3 of them making the roster this year with us going a little thin at ILB as a possible compromise since those guys are all locked up for a few years. We only kept 3 last year at ILB so the same scenario could unfold again this year.

The other thing about the group of OLBs we keep this year is I wouldn't take it as a given that Butler makes the team. The only guys who are probably guaranteed a spot are Spencer and Wilber. If the staff decides they can get the same pass rush from Hamilton or Whiteside that they did out of Butler there is little reason to keep Butler who will be a FA next year on the roster. So I can see a scenario where we keep both Hamilton and Whiteside over the two incumbent backups.

It will be a very interesting camp to see if Spencer or Butler can finally be pushed into becoming more productive pass rushers now that their snaps in the nickel are finally at stake. I've been so disappointed with both of them for so long now it seems like an eternity.

It will definitely be interesting to follow! Wouldn't you have to give the benefit to Spencer and almost think he will be re-signed for maintaining his position. I think Whiteside and Hamilton seem like SERIOUS prospects but I still don't see anyone beating out Spencer. At least not next year.

Yes, no one will unseat Spencer this year as the starter.

I'm talking about next year, 2013 season.

It would be a coup to find a low cost replacement out of the current group of underlings - we are due to get lucky on a pass rusher given all the high busts we have chosen over the year - some kind of draft karma.

I like the sound of draft karma! That would be one of the last missing puzzle pieces if we did find one which is pretty easy to get excited about.

Nice catch.

Impressive video. Pro Football Weekly has him as a 4.9 guy. Looks much much faster than that. Really quick first move. Should be fun to watch in camp. We've got some intriguing prospects at the position after the starters.

Looks like he's got special teams talent as well.
