it will be interesting to see how this plays out... this could hurt spikes & crowell, if it reduces spikes snaps, & keeps crowell as backup instead of letting him compete for starting SLB role...
from SN...
"Bills OLB Takeo Spikes, who is recovering from a torn Achilles' tendon, is expected to be ready for the start of the season. That means Angelo Crowell will return to a backup role. But the Bills will try to get Crowell on the field as much as possible, even as a replacement for Spikes at times. The new coaching staff has been impressed by what it has seen of Crowell on game tapes. He has good instincts, lateral quickness and a nose for the ball. Resting Spikes for some snaps would allow him to be fresher late in games."
