Cowboys Unlikely To Retain LB's Anthony Spencer, Kenyon Coleman

Cowboys observers expect the strong side of the defense to look different next season. That means the team is likely to replace DRE Kenyon Coleman and allow LOLB Anthony Spencer to test the free-agent market. Coleman was a placeholder, nothing more. Although he's a strong run defender, Spencer simply hasn't developed as a pass rusher the way the team had hoped. He could return, but the Cowboys won't spend a lot to keep him.

Not surprised that they may not keep Spencer.

 

The guy is a bust. Two years ago he had hos coming out game against the saints on a Saturday night game ever since he has regressed.

 

I wonder that they are going to do on the strong side?

Will they make a run at Super Mario or Avril if they dont get tagged

I kinda have a feeling you may see Spencer back in Dallas late in Free Agency

 

This sucks. For those that is hating on Spencer, go look up the article Omen posted about who out there at LOLB is better than Spencer. I'm content with him in the lineup.

 

The Anthony Spencer Challenge - Blogging The Boys - Omen found this.

 

blogging the boys is one of the best blogs in all of sports.

In the offseason they have exceptional FA and draft primers and coverage

 

Spencer is a JAG, but he is an effective all around player. He isnt deficient in any phase of his game

I do have an issue with resigning him, and its that we have been overpaying the Anthony Spencers on the roster for too long. Those second contracts get expensive

 

Spencer is a good solid starter. He is not the problem.

 

I wouldn't mind Spencer at a low cost, he would get a lot of one on one match ups with Wake on one side(much like Ware) but the biggest difference is Miami has a better quality of players on the line that fit a 3-4 defense.

 

that's true. I don't understand why the Cowboys are satisfied with such mediocre DE's.

 

I really hope that we are not

Word is that we are finally move Ratliff to DE. That gives me alot of hope. But out of everything else on our line, Lissemore is the only player im excited about

They wanted to keep Bowen, and ultimatly when they could thought Hatcher would do the same thing. He cant be counted on, he is only good in spurts

 

Spencer is just a JAG. Not a liability, but not a notable player either. We've had some good lines before and he was the same as he is now

Spencer is a jack of all, master of none
