Yes Guyton makes big plays once in a while, but Spikes holds down the run d, plus like Pro Football Focus says... Doesnt miss a tackle. Guyton on the other hand takes bad angles and misses plenty of tackles.

Teams best with guyton only
On passing downs.

You mean a 2nd round pick could possibly be better than an undrafted free agent?

Naaahhhhhh......

This is only Earth shattering to those people who kept trying to insist that Guyton was still good against the run even after we drafted an ILB to improve the run defense. The sooner Spikes and Brace come back healthy and ready to play, the better it will be for our run defense.

Sex tapes and illegal drugs aside, Guyton has 2 touchdowns this season and can be relied upon in the nickel package.

That's because Guyton is the better coverage ILB of the two. The conversation, meanwhile, is about who is the better of the two when it comes to defending the run. Hope that helps.

I thought Guyton was the new Roman Phifer.

Thats actually not a bad comparison. He's never gonna be the man, but he will contribute.

Sure Spikes is a better all around player than Guyton. Football seems to come a little more naturaly to him. But don't underestimate Guytons value to this team. Not many teams can boast a veteran backup who can fill in like GG. He had a hell of a game last week that shouldn't be discounted but struggled against the run today. But he did play.

So what is the point? To make a thread that one player is better than the other? To discredit someone who wasn't stupid enough to take a banned substance that left the team without his services for the last 4 games of the season?

Agreed. If there is no illegal drugs or sex tapes, Spikes is the far superior run stopper. However, Guyton is superior in coverage and comes without the baggage.
