For the Patriots right now, Brandon Spikes is doing exactly what they want him to do on first and second down. He’s being aggressive in the running game, he takes on blocks and he does a great job when they send him on blitzes. I thought he was very physical with Phil Costa, the Cowboys’ center, and was able to get push in the pocket and penetration in the running game. He still needs to get better in coverage, but going straight ahead, he’s dangerous.
