Kurd Cudins Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 If this is true, here's a little Insider info. He's listed at 5'10" 190 lbs. Grade 62 Expert's Take: Shows good footwork and closing speed, changes directions quickly and has good short-area man-to-man skills but is fundamentally flawed. Plays on special teams as the vise on punt returns. Has good foot quickness and speed. Fits the mold of a true cover cornerback. Shows good reaction and transition to plays in the passing game, but is not looking to make the hit. Anticipates well in zone. Shows foot speed and quickness in man-to-man and zone coverage. An undersized defender who does not play very physically. Does not pose a threat in run support. Struggles to get off of blockers in the run game due to lack of toughness and aggression in his play. Due to his lack of physical play, he often loses the jump-ball battles. Won't compete for jump balls and has trouble against bigger receivers. Lacks recovery speed. Best suited as a nickel back despite his starting for the St. Louis Rams. Needs to improve his physical play to be a solid and consistent starter in the NFL.

RWJ Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 So what happens to Springs now? My 2 cents. I know when it is officially confimed and seems to be, that we will either trade or dump Springs. It also opens up the fact that we still may make a trade for Bly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springs is what 7.5 million a year for a guy who on this squad may be competing for playing time, if Rogers comes in to camp after working out all summer with Deon than he may be the number one with Smoot a strong second.

eeyeats Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 if it's true, i would hope it's more than a 1 year deal, unless it's one of those "prove yourself" contracts since he's had injury trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be, but we have shown interest in Bly and wanted to sign him to a somewhat long term deal. So, my thinking is that we could sign Bly to play the other CB position with Smoot. Although, it could be that we are setting things up to trade Springs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 .....if Rogers comes in to camp after working out all summer with Deon.......... Carlos working with Deon Sanders? Thats good if he is, but he needs to be working with our WR coaching staff. This season, that dude CAN NOT drop as many INTs as he did last year.

This season, that dude CAN NOT drop as many INTs as he did last year. That was the point of working out with Deon, to help him as a CB to be able to make interceptions, the only CB to have a faster turn around time in the combine than Carlos was Deon.

BoBoCTiberius Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Well, everyone could tell you that. Bly's agent repeatedly saying it's not going to happen could've told you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 This tell us that the Bly deal isn't going to happen. I disagree. Why because Fischer was brought in before or during the trade talks with Denver. He would play backup to Smoot or Rodgers if one of them was injured. He would also server as the nickle back as long as they stay healthy. He could also be the backup for either one in case they were injured. Many things to think about.

JoeGibbsThickandthin Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 If we are going to make a trade. Get the first and second round pick from New england along with Asante and rip up his deal. And give them the 6th pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Rogers should come back very good this season I cant wait to see if he shows drastic improvement. I mean, he wasnt a bad corner before the tutoring, but added to the skills he already had...I cant wait to see if it actually will pay off.

Based on that description, I wouldn't be writing Springs off yet. Sounds like him and Smoot may be fighting it out to see who's #3 on the depth chart.
