You want to hear a scary stat - after Ware and Ellis the guy with the most sacks is Canty with 3.5 - that is not good, that means if Ellis or Ware isn't getting to the QB then hardly no one is - do you really think Spencer can get the sacks that Ellis can. If we ran the 4-3 D then yes Spencers athletic ability would probably start over Ellis but Wade runs the 3-4 so the OLBs are supposed to get the sacks and sacks arent easy to get in the NFL thats why players that get alot of sacks are at a premium. In this D you just dont sit 12.5 sacks.

Unless the guy behind him is even better.  And he might be.  We don't know yet.

And yes, I believe Spence can get the sacks that Ellis can. And Spence can cover better, as an added bonus, which would allow us to do more w/ the defense.

Your right - you just said it - "He might be" - like I said you dont sit 12.5 sacks for a "might be"

I think Ellis should be used as a pass rushing specialist and Spencer should start and play on first and second downs. this would prolong Ellis's career and shape Spencer for the years to come.

I cosign this..excellent idea

Well since everyone wants Roy to play linebacker I say bench both of them and start Roy there. 

What?  Um, No sir...you can't do that.  Roy Williams is a safety and not a linebacker.  He cannot play at lineback when he plays at strong safety.  To do so would be highly unprobable.
