I don't know much about Spragan(besides playing for the Broncos) and wanted to hear some pros and cons on him replacing Seau. Can he get the job done?
 
According to the Donkey fans that were trolling the site in week one, he's was good against the run, but shaky in pass coverage. We'll see, it was denver fans talking anyways:lol:
 
Seau's MRI was negative, knowing him he'll be the starter in Buffalo. They all are going to get time in this defense.
 
I don't know much about him, but I doubt that is going to be a weakness other teams are going to exploit. Even if he is not going to make a huge impact, I believe he will do his job and keep his assignments. That isn't gonna be the weakness other team's will exploit, it is still our secondary.
 
I saw him on some GL stands, he's ok. I'd much rather have Seau in the line-up for the presence he brings, and his play-making abilities.
 
Actually, Spraghan is a good fit in this D at the WSLB spot opposite Seau but that is also Crowders best spot as well. Saban's problem is who do you sit ?? Crowder is better at the SSLB which prompted the move of Seau. Again, who do you sit...Crowder, Seau, ZT or Spraghan ??? Easy question to answer in my opinion..the good thing is that we do have depth, unlike the last few years. Moore is actually playing better than I thought he would, when asked to and on STs.

The good thing, is that even if we have to have Seau sit for the Buff game, we're in good shape...Basically, Saban is preparing Crowder for the fill-in LB and the 3rd down guy as well due to his better speed than Seau or Spraghan...

Where id you here that Seau's MRI was negative. I think many of us have been holding their breaths waiting to here about this you know. I'm just surprised it isn't it's own thread.
 
From what I hear, Spragan is a solid lb but not a playmaker. Over the last couple of years he has improved his game a lot so hopefully he will continue to get better.
 
i think hed be a good fit for 1st and 2nd down... come 3rd down i think he might be a liability though and should be replaced, if we're playing nickle zach and crowder should be in, if we still have 3 linebackers in im guessing eddie moore would play in those spots... but i think seau should be ok

Injury news is positive

DAVIE  The Dolphins received good news Wednesday when tests showed that linebacker Junior Seau had a strained left calf.

"The MRI didn't show anything seriously wrong with him," coach Nick Saban said. "It is day-to-day and I don't know how long he will be out.".........
 
Spragan is good on the blitz. On many occassions during the pre-season, up againt first teamers, spragan got through and either pressured, hurried, or sacked the qb and it was usually from that strong side too. From what i heard/saw he had a pretty good camp overall and won't be exploited in this defence with all the talent we have on the d-line and at the other LB spots. He can hold his own, we don't have to worry about that, just don't expect him to be making lots of big plays.
 
I live in Denver and catch almost all of theire games 'as they usually play late' and I was suprised they late Spragen go but with Ian Gold coming back he was expendable. He was always solid not great but solid
