Where is the love for Brandon Spikes?
 
Spikes is having a monster year. He is bursting through the line, clobbering guys, causing fumbles, disrupting plays, and in general just causing havoc. And he is not bad in coverage. He has become the enforcer in the middle that the Patriots have not had in years yet the douches in the press have hardly noticed; all they want to do is complain about the DBs. I don't get it....wait yes I do..baseball season is over so they need something else to complain about....

I wouldn't go so far as to say he's 'not bad in coverage', but I agree that he has been playing very well this year.


Unfortunately the negatives with the team's pass defense garner much more attention than the positives of his, or any other player's performance - most likely due to the Pats having lost three games.

He's had some monster hits, including the one that pretty much sent Greene out for the Jets game and he has the potential to cause a fumble on nearly every running play. With that said, he couldn't make a catch if a pass ended up inside his jockstrap. But he's having a really good year.

I really like the nastiness he brings to the defense. It's been a little while since the Pats had a real enforcer in the middle.

He snagged a pretty nice one during his rookie season.

And he had one in the AFCCG last year. What have you done for me lately, I guess.

His pick of Flacco was so clutch. My god is he slow though. It showed on that particular play when he returned it, and you see it when someone busts lose and he has to give chase. Love his flair though, his run blitzing is a real issue for the other team's line.

Yeah, you're right. I wasn't thinking of that one when I posted. I watched my DVR replay tonight of Sunday's game and the tipped one he dropped on the Jets opening drive would have been huge.

That was a VERY frustrating drop. For a LB, though, Spikes' hands seem no worse than average so far.

Spikes has gotten all kinds of love from various media outlets and members of this board. I don't know where the OP is getting the perceived slight or lack of love for Spikes.
