BayouBrave86 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I was looking at the schedule and the weeks Springs is supposed to miss (3-6 weeks), and the only teams that scare me in that time period with their receiving co. are the Giants and Cowboys. Let's say CB is our weak link with matchups in the first 6 weeks, we can still at least go 4-2 realistically. Minnesota, Houston, Jacksonville, and Tenn really don't have depth in their receiving. Just a thought I'd throw out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I don't like the injury, but I have a feeling Rumph is going to become the player he showed he could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will miss the rest of the preseason and then be out 1-3 weeks longer. He might be back for Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnLockesGhost Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 At this point, he's not "injured" as much as "rehabilitating." And I should caution all to not look past the Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I think we're gonna want Springs for Jax. They have a good QB and some pretty good recievers in Jones and Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drockvb Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Jax is very good, i want Springs back for them. And of course it would be nice if he was healthy for our division foes. But then again, this is a team game, and i feel very good knowing Joe is in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt'n Obvious Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hopefully Springs can make it back before Dallas or Jacksonville, although Rumph has looked pretty good in the preseason, maybe he can fill in while Shawn is recovering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalDefense Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I would be very surprised if he missed the Viking game, at the least he plays in Dallas that will be 6 weeks.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Pierson or Battle or Taylor could fill in as DB for a scheme if need be with Rumph and Rogers out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roanoker Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'd like to see him well for the Vikings but Dallas is an in-divison game so hopefully Shawn will be ready by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsngibbs4life Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I would rather have springs sit out week 1, even if he is ready to go. I think the worst thing we can do is rush him back. And since the vikes dont really have a premier passing game, he shouldnt be needed to much(knocks on wood). I would rather have him healthy for a revamped cowboys passing game, because we will need every cb we can get against them. on another note, can you all seriously say that you would feel comfortable with rumph starting as our #2 cb??? personally, I am a little concerned about this prospect, and hope that it doesnt happen. If we have to deal with him as a starter for a long lentgh of time during the season, we might be in trouble. I might be more concerned about him having to start than if brunell gets hurt and having campbell come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springs will not play in the Dallas game. Repairing a torn muscle in the abdominal area takes 4-5 weeks to heal and about another 2-3 weeks to get back in shape and feel comfortable.He may start working out in 2 weeks but he won't play in the Dallas game. Bank on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compman Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Springs had a history of alway being hurt with the Seattle, which i why they let him go. He has stayed healthy for the Redskins until now. I'm sure they will cut him after the season and sign the Top free agent corner to a 60 million dollar deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt make sense to me to say 4-6 when you could just as easily say 6-8. My friend, I have absolutely no idea why somebody would tag that with a FOUR to six week assessment. But let me use logic here. Put your hand on your abdominal area right about your groin. Now try to move. Try to get up,, or take a step, or anything. You instantly feel tightening. I have had double hernia surgery, its the SAME area and I will tell you that if an abdominal muscle is involved, you are still tingling after 4 weeks, and muscles don't reattach after surgery in FOUR weeks. If they did then ligament reattachments would take 8 weeks instead of 8 months. Maybe they said FOUR weeks so they could negotiate better with the 3...thats THREE defensive backs they have picked up since Springs was injured. THREE defensive backs have been signed or traded for since his injury. Whats the point in that....after all he's coming back in less than 4 weeks right? RIGHT!

compman Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 This is the same injury Mcnabb had last season. Even the same surgeon performed the operation on both. How long was he out for? The season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
