ive never seen him before. what are his strengths and weaknesses?

 

I thought it would be Bly, but I have to say I feel pretty good about the secondary to start the year. Of course, Spencer still has to prove he can stay healthy.

 

HAHHAA dre bly is overrated and this proves it i think clements should be replaced also.

 

i didnt see this coming.:icon_eek:

 

Spencer isn't coming out of nowhere, this guy has been on the niners for 5 years now, he hasn't played hardly at all since 2006 because of injuries. He was a second round pick in 2004, but like I said is injury prone. Brown is the best CB of them, but was injured too much of camp to get the nod. I wouldn't be surprised to see the niners rotate RCB's until Brown takes the job for good.

 

wierd after all the things you hear about Brown and Bly competing. Spencer looked like a future superstar as a rookie and in his first year pro

 

this indy fan was watching shawntae spencer's rookie year closely when he wasn't even double digits in age, lol

google whacking alert....lol

 

stop doing this eraser....your only embarrassing yourself

 

I remember reading good things about him back in 2005 or 2006. Then he almost totally disappeared. Good to see him back.

 

Send over Nnamdi to replace Clements....
