Actually Spikes is really the one who forced that Houston fumble by the FB. If you watch it Spikes chases him down from behind then punches the ball out. He is getting better but it takes time to come back from that type of injury. What I am encouraged by is that you see his speed is coming back. Its only a matter of time before he starts making his plays. The other reason he isnt making as much impact is that he is the SLB, which means he is lined up with the other teams TE, which means a lot of the time he has to deal with being blocked by him or covering him on a route, whereas Crowell gets to rome free. I think that should be switched around.

Yeah give the guy a break. It takes time to come back from that.

Doesn't seem to be affecting Julius Peterson as much. But these injuries do affect players in different ways. I think Cowart was just starting to get back to form when he got another injury (to his knee I believe). I am glad he seems to be getting better. I hope his attitude gets better as well.

Spikes will be a beast again. Honestly, it's amazing that he is a solid starting LB just over a year removed from that type of injury.

Julien Peterson didnt injure his achilles last season, it was the year before. And last year being his first year back from the injury he had average stats. So it seems Spikes is right on pace for someone with that injury.

Re: Spikes Missing

Spikes is slowly getting better, I bet he is ready to get it on next year when we should be one of the better defenses again with the experience that our younger guys are getting.
