I didn't notice, but my guess would be that, because San Diego was throwing a ton, it made more sense to have Guyton (the better coverage LB of the two) on the field instead of Spikes.
Exactly what it was. SD threw the ball a lot more than they ran it, especially once they fell behind. Spikes plays more in running situations, while Guyton is out there during passing situations. This is because of Spikes lack of speed, I believe. Guyton did look terrible out there today, he is pretty slow too getting to backs out of the backfield.
For a guy who was the fastels lb at the 2008 combine. Guyton ran a sub 4.5 He looks slow as molasses the last few weeks. He's got to be injured. He looked very quick on that int week 1 where he cut underneath receiver for int and took it all the way. Fletcher looked better in sub-packages.
I don't think Spikes plays in our nickel/dime packages. He's a run-stuffer. And, doing it well.
Is it just because he's a rookie or will he be limited to only play on running plays because of his speed?

Fletcher will be playing ahead of Guyton soon enough IMO.
