Redskins' Springs Ready for Fresh Start

Cornerback Likes What He Sees On Team's Defense

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/29/AR2006032902258.html

Washington Redskins cornerback Shawn Springs approached this week of optional workouts at Redskins Park the way most veterans entering their 10th NFL season would, with a lament that the offseason grows shorter each year and a resigned surrender to the physical grind to come.

However, one element to the day, outside of recalling his recent trip to Puerto Rico, energized Springs: the chance to begin working with defensive backs coach Jerry Gray, who joined the Redskins in January after being fired as defensive coordinator in Buffalo. Gray, a four-time Pro Bowler who played eight NFL seasons and worked with Redskins assistant head coach-defense Gregg Williams in Tennessee and Buffalo, replaced DeWayne Walker, who left to become the defensive coordinator at UCLA.

...

One note from the article that is incorrect:

"Springs and Rogers are the incumbent starters, while their backups, Harris and Omar Stoutmire, were cut weeks ago."

Stoutmire was not a back-up corner. I don't beleive he played corner all year. Pierson Prioleau played some corner though. Stoutmire was not cut either.

There happens to be a thread with almost the exact title just a few threads down the page. This is how you wind up in Art's special group. If not for me being in a good mood....................
