at least, not that I've seen.

What's the deal?

Anthony Spencer.

This guy is such a disappointment for a 1st rounder.

Yea, yea, he's good against the run. That's just a nice way of saying he's a disappointment at pass-rushing.

I know he had a sack but c'mon... for a 1st round pick, he sure does fly quietly under the radar.
 
I dont know.....I think Spencer is solid......He is just not Ware.

Has Jenkins...Felix...Spears contributed more then Spencer? They are also late 1st rd picks.

Spencer is what he is....he applies some pressure....he is solid against the run....Could he be better? Sure...Love to have another Ware.

Spencer wont scare anyone...but I think he is solid....

Have you watched the first two games at all?

Serious question.

He's been the 3rd best player on D for us.

He hasn't, obviously. Pretty sad troll attempt. Someone forgot to tell him we won this week.

.....somebody I respect on here last night said he played VERY well...yet only had ONE tackle. :cool: To me, he's underperformed but not to a drastic level...he's not a flop but he has underachieved for sure (IMO)

Exactly. Not enough people whine about players, so we need more players to whine about.

This...

Spencer has been good...and getting pressure...watch the games...not everybody can be Ware
 
Is that all you got who can we put heat on?

Spencer I felt played a very good game and was able to put pressure on and came up with a sack to boot. Only play he was burned on was the when he got caught one on one with a TE, sorry to tell you that is a match up most big guys will lose. Outside of that I saw nothing to get after Spencer about but please continue to put heat on him. :rolleyes:
 
Not every first round pick is going to turn into a Ware. Spencer has been solid the first 2 games but we're so spoiled by having Ware that anything less is viewed as disappointment

thats pretty much what I was thinking also JBell. If Spencer continues to play like he is so far then we're going to be a really good D this year. Oh yea by the way. He has 2 sacks so far this year and has been all over the QB.

You can't just look at the stat sheet when you're talking about Spencer. Every time the offense runs a play towards his side it seems like he's at the point of attack, taking on blocks, stringing out the run to the sideline letting our LBs get to the runner. If you kept a stat on that, seems like he'd be one of the best around.

He's not meant to be in coverage as we saw on that TD. But stopping the run, I don't know if there's a better LB around at that.
 
My gosh, Spencer has 2 sacks so far and has been stout against the run.

This tread is borderline fail.

He responded to my motivation that is for sure ;)

No sooner as I had said we should maybe switch him out for Butler in the game thread, literally minutes later he came up with the big sack

It's not borderline fail, it's deep-in-the-heart-of fail. Spencer is only on pace for a 16 sack season so far. Between this post and the Brady James thread, this guy is obviously trolling this morning.
 
Woodley and probably this rookie Kerrigan playing for Washington are the only two LOLBs in 3-4 defenses that I'd take over Spencer right now. He's been terrific, and he's actually putting good pressure on this year on top of being such a monster in the run game.

He'd have more tackles if our DEs weren't just dominating people right now, but Hatcher is stealing all the stats. =P
 
Please check out Hypnotoad's 2011 animated GIF thread on this page: perfect examples of Spencer's play in there, some good some bad. One in particular is titled 'Hatcher gets another sack' about 1/3 of the way down the page.....Anthony does a great swim move and gets in first to Smith but inexplicably wiffs (he often does this as he's going 100 MPH and doesn't break down to make the tackle) and then Hatcher comes in to clean up.....kind of the story of his Cowboy career IMO...close but no cigar.:cool:

I didn't notice that he made that thread too.

It's time to stop making threads bro.
