808 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 i really want the bills to sign spikes. spikes will fit this scheme so well but its gonna be crazy when everyone starts bitching about his coverage ability when he gets torched.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 We would've been overpaying for Byrd by a good amount. He's not worth Ed Reed and Polamalu $ keep telling yourself that.
sodbuster Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 If we don't sign Spikes That caught me so off guard, I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at a gif. I'm in tears. Everybody around me thinks I've lost my marbles.
1B4IDie Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) I love Smerles as a Bills player. I've listened to him on Boston radio and I'm not really going to sweat too much over Smerles' opinion. I'd be more concerned with what Pepper Johnson thinks than Fred Smerles. Edited March 14, 2014 by Why So Serious?
OhIDunno Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 If we don't sign Spikes I didn't realize someone was recording me.... dangit!
papazoid Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 4 years / 16 mil seems to be the going rate for ILB's daryl smith in balt and Wesley woodyard with ten just signed for that.
beerme1 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I heard he's in town to see busty shirley in lackawanna. Her link?
QCity Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Some reading material for the F5ers Normal rules don’t apply to Brandon Spikes
dave mcbride Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 For the Spikes fans out there: where is the productivity? Those AV numbers are sub-average, and all the other numbers are low too: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SpikBr99.htm He's SIGNIFICANTLY less productive than Poz in virtually every category, for instance: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PoluPa99.htm

dave mcbride Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I didn't realize Poz was an option? I thought only Spikes was a free agent That's not my point. My point is that Spikes isn't actually very good.

He is not an every down backer - which devalues the use of #'s in trying to evaluate him. But he sure can stop the run well. Very strong and instinctive.
Peter Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Some reading material for the F5ers Normal rules don’t apply to Brandon Spikes I found this quote interesting: "Spikes is a force in run defense, however. ProFootballFocus.com has Spikes graded as its sixth-best middle/inside linebacker this season, and the best at his position when it comes to stopping the run: His grade for the season of plus-13.2 against the run is nearly six points better than the Panthers’ Luke Kuechly, whose plus-7.5 ranks second."

Any people trying to make the "Poz is better argument" should just read this.

BackInDaDay Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 as someone whose been posting how a Spikes signing impacts an immediate need and impacts our options in the upcoming draft, i fully expect an offer would be made that doesn't insult Spikes, but that won't bowl him over.. it's a good fit, at the right time, but Whaley has options to filling our ILB needs in 2014 and beyond that don't require he to give up the store for Spikes.. hoping it works out so we can get our WR and OT before having to address ILB.
Alaska Darin Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 That's not my point. My point is that Spikes isn't actually very good. I disagree. He's VERY good against the run.
