Nobody wants Spikes?!

[HHURRICANE]

Sorry, but I thought he was overrated before the injury. The fact that he's not even getting tryouts is pretty sad.

There is point to being subjective. But to say Takeo was overrated? :puh:

Overrated Pro bowler....riiiiight.

Spikes was great before his injury...he just never got back to that level after that. He did OK for the Eagles but he's definitely on the decline. He'd be a great coach someday, motivator.

TKO was lights out before his injury, that achilles injury takes it out of NFL players like the ACL used to, feel bad for the multimillionare i really do

There are players with lesser talent that performed alot better than this guy. His mouth was alot bigger than his play for Buffalo. Overrated.

No way. In his prime he was a beast who deserved every accolade he got.
His injury is a career-killer.

I'd bring him back.

No thanks we don't need to go backwards. We've got a young corp of LBs with Poz and Crow. Those guys are big enough motivators.

Re: Nobody wants Spikes?!

TKO was good...pre-injury.

That injury basically ends any players career that has to be on the move constantly. See Jamir Miller.

I said it once he got the injury to part ways with him, stick a fork in em, he's done.

Re: Nobody wants Spikes?!

I'd take 2004 Spikes back in a heartbeat. The guy was a true competitor- he was unbelievable on the field and worked hard off the field to continuously improve. I can't remember the last time Buffalo had a player that skilled and that motivated simultaneously.

But we can't have 2004 Spikes. We'd have to settle for 2008 Spikes, and unfortunately that injury destroyed him. None of our starting LB's are better than Spikes career-wise, but all 3 of them are better than him physically at this point.

Plus, aging vets don't fit this team- anyone in a back up role better a) have a low salary and b) play special teams. No way Spikes accepts either of those conditions.

I'd take him back only if he took vet minimum.

Dude, The 2004 TKO was unstoppable. A machine! Nowhere close to being overrated.
