DE Anthony Spencer cleared to run, ‘more hopeful’ he’ll be ready for season opener

Another lazy shithead who gets healthy right after the rigors of camp and just in time for Game 1. What are the odds??!!

I dont recall anyone ever really questioning his work ethic BB

I agree. Was arguably the best player on defense last year. If he is healthy he is going to have a pretty good year in this scheme opp Ware.

Only player in the NFL in 2012 to have 10+ sacks and 90+ tackles.

But he sucks and needs to go.

I like Anthony Spencer the player.

I'm sick of the contract situation.

Not your money, don't worry about it.

It has a direct effect on the amount of talent the team can go out and get.

Then again, Jerry will just waste the cap space on Nate Livings and Mackenzy Bernadeau.

IRVING – Dallas Cowboys defensive end Anthony Spencer has been cleared to start running and because of that, Spencer says he’s “more hopeful” he’ll be ready for the season opener against the New York Giants on Sept. 8.

Spencer had left knee surgery on July 25 and hasn’t practiced since.

On Monday, the 29-year-old Pro Bowler said he has started doing “a little resistance running” and “a little bit of change of direction” work. He’s also been riding a stationary bike, lifting weights and working on an elliptical machine.

Spencer said the plan is for him to be going full speed by next week.

But will he be in game shape when the season starts?

“The only way you really get in game shape is by playing in games,” Spencer said. “I know that will be one of the hard things, but I haven’t really struggled with conditioning through my time of playing in the NFL. I work hard and I get conditioned pretty quickly.”

How fitting for a guy who's never able to practice to say that.

No one had to. He flat out admitted he was dogging it in 2010.

Deal owned Dallascowboystalk.com, Fedora was his sidekick.

Spencer is talented though. Could be really good in this scheme too if he is 100% or close to it.

I didn't say he sucks, but I'm ready for him to leave. He's not a team player. That's why he never got a big contract from us.

Uh Jon, they offered him long term contract options. They just couldn't agree to a deal and he signed the 1 yr tender.
