SPEARS - to be or not to be?

[CrazyCowboy]

Will SPEARS step up and become the player we all hoped he would with the 18th pick or is he another big FAT bust?

I've said it a thousand times............. "Spears is a bust".

Guaranteed..................

I don't know. Next year we'll find out. Doesn't look good.

Canty will turn out to be a fine player. Spears is a waste of skin.

 

[MetalHead]

Bust.
That number 96 has not been kind for D Linemen recently(Carver,Ekuban,Spears)

Bust. He seems to lock up on his blocker, and doesn't want to let go.

I don't know about Guarantee, but I never liked him in college, didn't know what Cowboys saw in him to think that he will be a consistant guy in NFL. The guy always took plays off in college and he seems to do that lot more in NFL now.

Isn't funny all this Parcells will get the best out of lazy guys has not been true in one case with Cowboys?

agreed

 

[theogt]

Give him another year with a different coordinator.

Guarantee is a strong word........but we'll see....the guy got by with size and natural strength in college. The laziness factor is immense though and I am confident in my prediction that he won't amount to squat in the NFL..

Spears is still young enough to be more then he is. BUT the clock is ticking.

Spears has always had the underachiever label going back to his days at LSU. He had a great Senior Bowl practice, but his production was hot and cold.

Why we thought we were getting any different is just us trying to feel good about ourselves. I am pretty guilty of that.

Canty I still hold out a little more hope. He just plays too high and needs some quality technical teaching. He is very tall and often gets his leverage used against him once a blocker gets underneath him.

We really need a better defensive line coach than we have as well.

Yep. Agreed.

At this point I would rather he gain 20 lbs and back up Ferguson.

 

[AbeBeta]

Bust? Spears is a pretty good run defender - he's crap as a pass rusher though.

You might have a point there. It could be worth a shot, he's not doing anything at end.

Isn't Travis Johnson of the Texans from LSU also? He's a bigtime underachiever also.

He's from Florida State.

NT is no place for a guy who takes plays off.

 

[jwhardin]

I agree, I see Spears more as a DT in the 4-3.
