Will the real Anthony Spencer please stand up?

[WastedFate]

Good God, that is good enough for me. Welcome aboard Spencer. I read elsewere that he is a monster as far as strength goes...should be ready to play this year.

BBQ

He can apparently bench 500 pounds.

He can apparently bench 500 pounds.

and he runs a 3.9 and can leep tall buildings in a single bound.

again Spectre, I think it just comes down to Spencer maturing and having some good coaches that have produced Shaun Phillips, Chike Okeafor, Akin Ayodele and others

Anthony Spencer:

Compares To: SHAUN PHILLIPS-San Diego...Both players were developed in the Joe Tiller system at Purdue to attack the quarterback with quickness. Both lack the ideal size you look for in a defensive end, but Phillips proved that he was capable of competing in a stand-up position. Spencer was a better prospect than Phillips coming out of college. If used in a similar system, Spencer will have just as much success in the pro ranks that Phillips has shown.

I'm happy with the SPencer pick (very happy) but those stats don't show him getting better over his college career. He dropped off in 2005 then came back strong in 2006.

2005: Suffered a hamstring strain in August camp … Played with the flu vs. Miami, Ohio (Sept. 9) … Suffered a hyper-extended knee vs. Notre Dame (Sept. 30) … Sprained his right foot vs. Wisconsin (Oct. 21) and wore a boot to protect the injury, missing the entire week of practice leading up to the Iowa contest … Left the Penn State (Oct. 28) and Michigan State (Nov. 4) games with leg cramps.

Can't find any injuries for 2006, HHHHHMMMMM.....

And now you know why.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Spencer is PRO ready and that's music to my ears!

 

[sago1]

Actually an article on Spencer states that he suffered injury dings in his first 2 years but finally was fully healthy in 06 season. In fact his team gave him an award for overcoming all his injuries to become the player he did in 06.

 

[alancdc]

LOL

it's what have you done for me lately? and lately, Spencer was a heck of a player, spectre, it's called maturation as a player

One of the guys said yesterday that they asked Joe Thomas who was the toughest player to block in college he said without a doubt Spencer. I have no doubt that Wade will had this kid in a position to succede!

 

[eduncan22]

Spencer was 2 different players in college.

His Senior campaign was PHENOMENAL while his previous years were average.

Which Spencer is the real deal?

2004 33 tackles 9.5 tackles for loss 7.5 sacks 6 bb 3 ff
2005 23 tackles 7.5 tackles for loss 3 sacks 1 bb 3 ff
2006 93 tackles 26.5 tackles for loss 10.5 sacks 6 bb 5 ff

Is Spencer going to be an OLB or a DE?

 

[CrazyCowboy]

I read he was injured......those bad years.
