Anthony Spencer

[The Natural]

He's average rushing the QB and average against the run. Do you resign a marginally average player? With no one better on the roster they've got no choice

I say he is better than average against the run.He is average pass rusher I think we maybe should Franshise him again.

Sign the guy already. You're not going to find comparable play in the draft or free agency.

Why create a need when you don't have to?

Rushing the passer - Greg Ellis. All-around SOLB play - Anthony Spencer.

None of the "get rid of Spencer" crowd has an answer for that question. It's one of those random drum-beater things that they just say without any rhyme or reason.

Nothing against Spencer, but I'd use that money to address other positions on the team.

Someone will probably pay him close to $10 million a season.

I'd rather Dallas went into rebuild mode and use that money to shore up multiple positions.

Lol he is better than average against the run.. The way he can shed blocks or move blockers to fill holes and get to the ball carrier is very valuable.. Go watch some film sir before you spout off

[supercowboy8]

We could just franchise him again

Its important you get a pass rusher this offseason and if you can find one at DE then i'd re-sign Spencer. Actually i'd re-sign Spencer regardless. He's having a good season.

If that is the case, you have to move on..I am not sure what the cap room situation is like.. I'd hope the Cowboys could get him to come back for something reasonable

I've seen Spencer lose containment on the edge far too many times to call him better than average against the run.

I'm not going to post an example of something that has been a common complaint on these very boards for as long as I've been here. I mean what do you want me to say? Last year against the Giants Spencer lost the edge and allowed a td? It's isolated plays throughout the game

I agree 100%.

Who are you going to get without spending 1st and/or big time money?

You should be able to win games with him and we've much more pressing needs at OL, Safety and WR (maybe even DL).
