Patriots coach Belichick makes non-subtle point on Spikes - The Boston Globe
We'll have to see what this means for the game, but hopefully he'll get up to speed. It would be nice to have him in there for run defense.
Asked how Spikes looked on the field, Belichick did not offer a positive assessment.
“It looked like he hadn’t practiced in four weeks with the team, so he’s got a ways to go,’’ he said.
Spikes did not appeal his suspension so that he would be able to contribute in the postseason. But he may have work to do to make sure he plays a big role against the Jets Sunday.
“We’ll see. We’ll see,’’ Belichick responded when asked if a few more days of practice would get Spikes back on track. “Hopefully he’ll be better this week than he was last week. He should be with the extra days of practice and just getting back into it, but we’ll see how it goes.’’
