To lose the leadership of both London and Takeo this offseason is gonna be HUGE. I'm not saying that this factor makes it the wrong move to get rid of Spikes, but the reality of the situation is that we are going to be losing a ton of leadership and experience on the defensive side of the ball next year. I suppose you can throw Clements in there as well, but not nearly to the same degree. We have an extremely young defense and it's gonna rear its ugly head at some point. The good news is that 1) the young guys we have are very talented and 2) free agency ain't over yet.
