34-78-83 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 It's only a consolation, but if Spikes is anything like I think he is, he'll have so much game film study burned into his head over the next number of months that next year he'll be getting to the ball that much quicker, possibly off-setting any loss in speed. I don't see any quit in that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkwwjd Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 just saying that it seemed he filled in much better as an OLB when Spikes went down. I'd much rather have Spikes in there, but I think the dropoff would have been greater if Fletcher couldn't go instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundy249 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 That's good to hear, especially considering Spikes probably has access to even better doctors/rehab people and equipment than you did. I sure hope he comes back - by far my favorite player on the team (and the first jersey I've ever purchased, although my in-laws bought me an Antowain Smith jersey the year before he left the team.... ).

Fezmid Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just remember this is almost the same injury the ended Cowarts career 456851[/snapback] We don't know the extent of Spikes injury vs the extent of Cowart's. In addition, didn't Cowart get injured again early the next season? Who's to say which injury made him a shell of his former self. Lastly, that was five years ago --- medicine is progressing very quickly, so that may factor well on Spikes' side. In short, we have no idea how he's going to recover. I'm just crossing my fingers that he returns to his Pro Bowl form. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
