SantanaClaus89 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Shawn will be back for the Giants game... mark my words I'll bet my life on it. He is NOT retiring, Cowboys fan. He will be back next week no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 If Springs misses half the season or more we have absolutely ZERO shot at the playoffs. We are in deep crap. I don't know about that. I think our defense can play well enough without him to get the necessary 10 games provided our offense starts playing like they should...

skinsngibbs4life Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 we will go after nate clements in the 2007 offseason for sure yeah, if he is available(doesnt get resigned), I garuntee that we will be a major player in that race. Him and a developing rogers would be a nice combo for years... but for now, lets just hope spring can at least touch the field before the mid point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Prime Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Would have been nice if we could have Springs the entire season and then draft a nice CB in the first round, but the season is still early and we need a resolution now.. If it turns out that SPrings will be out indefinately then we must make a move for a quality CB before the trade deadline ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Didnt he have 6 sacks and many many tackles..Played hurt? He'll be back when he gets back. I worry about the players ON the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Didnt he have 6 sacks and many many tackles..Played hurt?He'll be back when he gets back. I worry about the players ON the field. I think '04 was the first time in a looooooong time he went a whole season uninjured. Looked like he returned to form late last year and is now picking up momentum for his "off-year" in '04...

RDSKNfaithfull Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 i can't believe that you guys are already turning on Springs....unbelievable. You guys are just speculating on the severity of his injury, and all ready throwing him to the wolves....you should be ashamed of yourselves....and you wonder why the players don't have any loyalty to teams...*****, the fans don't even have loyalty to the players even when it's something like this......and the funny thing is, you/we don't even know what this injury is!!! I guess it's your right to hate on a player if you want to, but that doesn't necessarily make it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who is turning on him? Many questioned the move when he was brought in because he was injury prone. I think we all agree when he is healthy he is a top corner and we all agree we hope he gets well soon. It doesn't change the fact our front office new has always had injury problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVskinsfan Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Why wan't this handled after our season ended? He waited until 3 weeks befoer the regular season? Stupid in my opinion...if it hurts, get it checked out huh :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 hopefully this won't turn into arrington pt 2....meaning the training staff doing a poor job at rehabbing/evaluating/putting a player back into rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Isnt the point of seeing an expert to wait and actually see what the expert says before flaming Springs? He has been nothing short of a pro bowl corner the last few seasons and has made us forget about losing bailey for the most part. How about we wait and see what the "expert" has to say before we talk about how injury prone Springs is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbuzz1962 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I thinks it's time we look for another CB. I really like Springs, but between last year, and this year, he has missed too many games. We need some consistency there, and I just want to quit worrying about his ability to play each Sunday. It may be time to retire Shawn, those nagging, unhealing injuries are just too much for the NFL. We'll see, I would just like the staff to tell us what's really going on.

He complained about this at the end of last year but played through it, went all offseason and never even got it checked.

PCS Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Little background refresher on this injury. http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=18829 Cornerback Shawn Springs could be sidelined 3-6 weeks after undergoing a medical procedure to repair a minor tear in his abdominal muscle. Shawn Springs (Don Wright Photo) It is hoped that Springs will be fully healthy by the start of the regular season, on Sept. 11, against the Minnesota Vikings. Describing the medical procedure, head coach Joe Gibbs said: "It's fairly simple process, it's the same one that John Hall had last offseason, so they decided that it was best for Shawn and for us to go ahead and get that repaired. "I talked to the doctor this morning, and the best guess is that it'd be 3-6 weeks and it just depends on how he's going to return from that." Springs was not at Tuesday afternoon's practice. The 10-year veteran participated in training camp practices and he played in last Sunday's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Springs logged a sack on a cornerback blitz on Bengals' QB Anthony Wright. Springs has been mostly durable in his NFL career, playing in 123 of 144 games. As a Redskin, he has played in 15 games each of the last two years, although he did sit out one of the team's playoff games due to a groin injury. Asked if the injury was related to the groin injury last season, Gibbs said: "We don't think so. It's in the same general area so I don't guess you ever know on something like that. He came back this year, looked great and felt great. "It wasn't something we had to do, but we felt like the best option for Shawn and for us was to go ahead and repair it now to make sure something didn't happen later in the year to make it worse." And a little more recent news. http://www.cbc.ca/cp/football/060928/f092856.html Springs was a spectator again at practice Thursday, a day after travelling to Pennsylvania to see a specialist in a routine follow-up to the abdominal surgery he had Aug. 15. The muscle that was reattached during the operation is healing nicely, but a groin injury is delaying his return to the field. Springs strained the groin in his right leg last week when he tried to return to practice. "He has strained a few fibres in that muscle," Tyer said. "We'll take it week to week."

flexxskins Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 We brought damage goods he stayed hurt when he played for the Seahawks. He will make or break are season. We should have payed Fred Smoot.Would Smoot have given us 6 sacks and 6 interceptions in a season? Please be honest with yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigyim Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Would Smoot have given us 6 sacks and 6 interceptions in a season? Please be honest with yourself. Probably not...but he would have thrown some rocking boat parties out on the Potomac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
