I don’t want to argue about Spriggs’ problems, but I think he was plenty strong to handle the position. He didn’t lose because he couldn’t anchor and take a bull rush, it’s because play to play he had no clue cognizance of the pass rushers plan. These guys don’t just rush wildly every play, they have a full plan play to play where they’re testing for weaknesses and setting things up for later. Spriggs was so terrified of speed rush every play it seemed that he overset and was just wildly off balance for power moves and inside moves. He must have driven Campen crazy on Monday mornings. That level of football IQ is the reason guys like Bulaga and Bakh can overcome any physical deficiencies and still win...most of the time they seemingly know what the pass rusher is doing every single play.
