French guy just said on SW Kia Sportstalk he thinks Spears definitely will be coming off the bench; starting will be Tank in the middle, Ratliff DE, and of course, Canty on the other end.

Bright side is that it gives them qulity depth off the bench.

I think this was the rotational trend we were seeing in TC, but looks like almost a done deal.

Sounds like one heck of a rotation to me....;)

Well the German guy said stop the run first so Spears stays in at first team with lots and lots of guys coming in and going out as the game unfolds.

I'm sure that some folks will see this as an indication that Spears is no good. But what I believe is that Tank is showing that he's a beast and forcing the staff to get him more snaps. This guy has some ungodly skills for someone his size.

Stupid Title. I'm not a huge fan of Spears, although he pulls his weight verses the run, but with what we're doing defensively for some positions, "starting" is just a word. May the best group win for whomever we play on Sunday.

Spears strength as a run defender best serves as a rotational player.

Play the best the most and check ego's at the door.

My thoughts exactly.

Spears controls how much playing time he gets more than anyone.

He has a name, but judging by your major spelling error(qulity) I'm not surprised you have no idea what it is.

Hopefully, if Spears does get benched, we don't hear him ask "What's my role here?" Too many times when someone gets benched they get demoralized, their play declines even further and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Let's hope that doesn't happen here.

Well if I know Marcus, then he'll handle this like a pro. He's a guy who will do whatever the coaching staff asks of him in order to win. I know I'm a homer when it comes to him, but the consensus understanding of Marcus Spears back home is that he is a team player.

Whew. Thanks man. I saw your username and thought we were in for a 10,000 pager. An epic thread that left death in it's wake and the contents sold for an HBO special. ;)

Nice post.
