Shonn Greene gets hit hard by Brandon Spikes - YouTube

Ouch! Clean hit, too.

I cannot imagine too many running backs or slot receivers are looking forward to meeting up with Spikes, Mayo and Hightower.

This is a great trio of young linebackers, and when Ninkovich joins them in a 3-4, it's as good a group as the Mike Vrabel, Tedy Bruschi, Ted Johnson, Roman Phifer group back in 04-05.

I was surprised Spikes wasn't hurt on that hit. I had to laugh at ryan yelling at the ref that green was a defenseless receiver.

The comment on the video is "shoulder to helmet" when it looks like the initial contact was 100% shoulder to shoulder, then after that contact there was some side-of the helmet contact with Brandon's helmet as Shonn was crumbling to the turf.

we should do the "smash for cash" program.

football isn't ballet

we need hungry players to make the playoffs

thank goodness for spikes, mayo and hightower....its been a while since we had lb's like this....i cant exclude ninko.....love that dood

OT: wtf is up w/ mcdaniels....is he useless or what?

have brady call the shots and trade in lloyd and branch for a better reciever

Lloyd is a good receiver and him and Brady are still building chemistry. We've seen some good games from them, last night just happened to not be one of them. Branch is Branch, the 4th or 5th guy, he knows this is pretty much his last season in the league.

On the defense, this linebacker core is awesome. We just need to duplicate that in the secondary. Thats the issue.
