"Imagine lining up opposite a menacing linebacker, complete with broad shoulders, bulging arms and an Olympian-sized neck that would probably damage a guillotine. And the back of his jersey reads "Spikes."
Even if you had never seen him before and just heard his name, you'd be frightened.
The name says it all: Takeo Spikes. Takeo is Japanese for "great warrior." And Spikes ... that's self explanatory. If naming children was a business, Spikes' parents would be millionaires. They hit the nail on the head when they named their son."
"Would nine wins do it?
"Nah; 9-7 would be like every season I went through in Cincinnati," he said. "And just like in Cincinnati, we would be home in the offseason. The only difference is, with Cincinnati, you might stay up a little longer at night trying to figure out what you did wrong versus Buffalo. Shoot, you might go to bed five minutes earlier."
How about 10 wins?
"At least."
When asked if the Bills had it in them, Spikes responded with one word: "Absolutely."
With Spikes -- the new Beast of the AFC East -- patrolling on defense, there's no reason to doubt him."
