Spencer Brown begins to cost serious money starting in 2026. He has only made it through the full 17 games once in his 5 years in the league. Are there real durability concerns here? He's a tough nasty mauler, but I do worry that we lose him at key spots in the schedule.
Last year we had this Lewis Cine who we stashed on the practice squad and were having him bulk up to be the hybrid LB, but he got signed off the practice squad. I see the eagles waived him and apparently can't stay healthy.
Facing Watt, Herbig, Heyward after the display on Thursday in Houston isn't reassuring, esp if Brown is down and Dawkins isn't playing great. Hopefully Brady will come up with a scheme that allows his MVP QB to do that thing he does.
And that culture like a fish starts at the top. Al Davis revolutionized football in many ways, but his family hasn't carried the torch very well. In the In the 15 seasons since Al died they have won less than 40% of their games, made the playoffs as a w/c twice and have a total of three seasons at .500 or above.
Actually Indy has as many [13 if you count Brown & Bernard]. Detroit, 49ers and Houston are next with 12 on IR.
There are 20 teams with winning records. Average number on IR for those 20 is 10 players.
I was at the Saints game, 3-0 going in, perfect day few Saints fans in the stadium, took us until halfway through Q4 to assert ourselves against one of the worst teams in the league.
PFF ranks Elam 61 amongst cornerbacks. Bills CB's are Taron at 69, Benford at 74, Tre' at 86. Hairston would be at 39 if he had played enough to qualify.
