First no one is talking about the beat down that Denver laid on the Giants, and now, at least not the day after, is anyone mentioning the great game that Anthony Spencer displayed on Thanksgiving.
First and foremost... Spencer got not one, but count em', two sacks! I knew they'd come. So did Marcus Spears. "He's been there on a lot of occasions," Spears said. "You knew those plays would come. If you guys evaluate the way Spence plays, he's always around the ball. Always. I think you just saw that pay off for him."
Couldn't have said it better myself. I think one has the right to argue that Spencer has probably had a more impressive season up to this point than DeMarcus. Now before you go into fits of rage, just listen. I'm not saying Ware is still not the best defender on the team, nor am I saying Ware is not making any plays, because Ware is always a beast. But even for Spencer's lack of sacks this season, he has been a monster against the run, and against defending the pass, and in QB pressures. It's just that everyone loves the sexy stat, the sack totals. Give me the all-around game over sacks any day. Sacks are just the icing on the cake.
#93 in my opinion is living up to his 1st round billing. The sacks will come, eventually. Just don't knock the level that Anthony is playing at. He is one of the main reasons why the defense is getting better each week.
