Is Spencer ready to Go?

So it appears as though, one way or the other, Anthony Specner will get his shot to start at outside linbacker. The days of Greg Ellis, as classy an act as he is, appear to be over. I agree that it is time to get younger and time to move on with your most expolosive firepower.

Spencer, out of Purdue, has show flashes of intensity. Like several other younger Cowboys players, the problem has been health. Spencer has been banged up a bunch and has a hard time staying on the field.

For a few plays he show explosive speed and great vision. If he can consistently go and remain healthy, he and Ware could be a fearsome twosome playing opposite each other. The possibility is exciting that we could have two speedy and relentless LB's coming at the opposing QB. Who do they double? Who do they chip? Load up on this side, and pay the price on the other.

The beauty of pressure is that it should have a trickle back effect, greatly helping our young speedy defensive backfield. I anticipate our CB's getting more opportunities for picks with us having two intense passrushers.

Here is hoping that going younger does the trick. It's either that, or Jerry Jones has written off this year and decided to line himself up for a huge spending spree in an uncapped year next year. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Chime in and enjoy. Thanks fellow fans, and let's go Cowboys.
