It's risky banking on him playing 16 games this year so we need backups.
I don't agree with what has been said about Spaight, Him and Brown are the only linebackers that made plays in the backfield. He has good speed and is aggressive. Now his angles to the ball carrier suck. he is too aggressive at time. He is a ST coverage guy and a last resort backup.
Vigil will be coaching HS football in September but will be back around week8 when players start falling apart..
Buchanon will be our backup ILB and he is coming off an ACL injury, Yikes.
We really need Foster and Nicholson to stay healthy.

Huh? Spaight does
not have good speed. Speed is not a matter of opinion. It is a measurable fact. The fact is that Spaight is slow for an NFL LB. He has been timed consistently at between 4.80 and 4.88 in the forty.
Vigil did a good job for us last season. I think he has a shot at making the season opening roster.
