EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Not sure if this was being discussed elsewhere, but did anyone else notice Spikes receiving snaps at DE on Sunday vs. the 49ers? He never had his hand in the dirt but looked obviously out of place. I'm not sure what they were trying to do schematically or what but I just thought it was weird Edit: it looked like he was lined up at traditional 4-3 DE but possibly OLB Edited October 19, 2016 by AlwaysBilleve
Blokestradamus Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 He's had a few snaps at SAM linebacker for the past few weeks. Nothing new, interesting though.
JPicc2114 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Yep, he played outside a little bit vs the 9ers

They're having to look for ways to get him involved in the defense because Brown/Brown are playing so well at ILB.
Rockinon Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Depth is incredible on this team except WR. Spikes is too good to just sit, but he looks a little out of place there. Maybe he just needs more reps.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 19, 2016 Author Posted October 19, 2016 I guess I hadn't noticed until Sunday. Not sure how well he fits that position. Idt he offers any pass rushing ability. Maybe will Shaq returning, he will move back to his more traditional LB role

Webster Guy Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 He's more of a players coach at this point. From my viewpoint, if the play doesn't come right to him he isn't fast enough to get there. Short yardage package only for the spiker. On a side note, he did make my #51 takeo spikes jersey relevant again, so there's that.....

r00tabaga Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 They said it was a QB Contain. Setting the edge I guess.
bigK14094 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Spikes was always a DL playing LB.....really large man.

O'Leary is a freaking speed demon compared to Scott "1-yard-swing-pass-and-a-cloud-of-dust" Chandler. By the way, did I mention O'Leary doesn't wear gloves and is Jack Nicklaus' grandson?
