As the Cowboys prepare to take on the Browns’ potent offense in this season’s opening weekend, they might be missing some presence on the pass rush.
Outside linebacker Anthony Spencer is expected to miss two to four weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. The injury was originally diagnosed as a bone bruise, but persistent swelling caused the team to decide on having the procedure.
Spencer played defensive end at Purdue but was moved to the pass rush role in the Cowboys’ 3-4 defense after being drafted in the first round in 2007. He had three sacks in his rookie year playing in a situational role, and is expected to have more of a presence on the field in 2008 despite backing up Greg Ellis.
Fellow linebacker Kevin Burnett, another guy who comes in on passing downs, is also in doubt for the season opener.

Wow, you’re really excited about a 2nd stringer missing some PT, gameday. Doesn’t matter, everybody knows that DeMarcus Ware is 10 times the player that Spencer and roid-boy Merriman are.

Although I usually disagree with everything Vox says just out of principle I have to agree with him here. DeMarcus Ware is 10x the player Spencer is. As to Merriman the jury is still out. At times he shows big things but I have also noticed that he tends to disappear in big games.
As much I root against the Cowboys rooting for their players to get injured is just classless. Instead I root for them to be shown up on the field and hope everyone involved stays healthy all season.

There’s this Pro-Bowler named Greg Ellis who had 12 1/2 sacks last year and was named Comeback Player of the Year who STARTS over Anthony Spencer…
We’ll be fine.

Am I missing something? First of all Gameday, Merriman will forever be compaed to Ware, not Spencer. Secondly, Ellis had a career year last year and will step up just fine. If anything, the loss of Burnett has a bigger impact. One other thing gameday, merriman will be gone for 4 games when he ‘unknowingly uses PEDs’ again.
