TE Stephen Spach, re-signed with Arizona.

[Perfectionist]

Have not seen this anywhere else. I really liked what he was doing before his injury last season.

Look under TSX section.

Good deal. That 3rd down catch he made against Atlanta was huge and let us control the ball down the stretch. He would have started in the SB.

I know that he tore his ACL. Will he be ready for training camp? I don't recall what the report was regarding the timeframe on his injury.

I can't imagine him being ready by camp and the start of the season might even be a stretch. The start of the season would be roughly a nine month turnaround which is really tough for an ACL. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start the season on the PUP list or maybe he takes the Gabe Watson approach to the start of the season.

If that is the case we probably need to draft a TE that can block.

6 to 8 months typically before you can return to full activity.

We gave him a Tender offer Weeks ago, although probably not widely reported.

Urban reported in his blog a couple of days ago that Spach has been one of the guys regularly showing up to work out so far this offseason. Don't know what that means for the condition of his knee though.

 

[Sandan]

I heard the prediction was start of season

This is taken from Urban's blog today:

"I talked to Spach this morning after his workout and he said he is coming along well after his surgery. He doesn’t see any reason why he shouldn’t be back during training camp, at least at some point. It really is amazing how far ACL surgeries have come just since I have been covering the league in 2000."

Spach is a battler. This kid will be back sooner, rather than later.

 

[Syracusecards]

Good to hear. I like this kid. Plays hard and blocks well. Might not be more than average at passing catching or blocking but he gives all out effort.

 

[Jetstream Green]

he might not be spectacular in any one area but he is very solid, I really like having him on this team

 

[joeshmo]

Count me as unimpressed. He was just the best out of an injury plague underachieving bunch.
