FuriousD Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 On any given Sunday... 50/50 If he suits up he starts 50/50 If he starts he finishes 50/50 If he suits up at all 50/50 If he's on IR by the end of the year We got to move on from this guy next year. This is rediculous! At this rate we'll be LUCKY if we get 8 games out of him. We have to make a trade or spend a first or a second on a decent young replacement. Someone who is gonna come to play and not just pick up a game check. I've got nothing against him personally but this has to be his last year in the B&G. :2cents: :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Ummm. Ok. Only that Springs is one of the best players on our team. I don't get the comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire3fighter4 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I'll be very disappointed if we don't use one of our early picks for a CB, or acquire somebody through FA....Springs is becoming as fragile as glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 It is not necessarily a stupid thread, the guy is good, but it would be nice to know that week in week out he will surely be on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Great player when healthy but not accountable. I agree with the OP that Springs cannot be relied upon. No one is doubting his talents but if it can't be depended upon, then move on and find a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD5 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 100% that he is our best corner. 100% that he is tied with Fletcher for the best player on our entire defense. 100% that the op is on drugs. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousD Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Ummm. Ok.Only that Springs is one of the best players on our team. I don't get the comparison. I don't know, call me crazy but I would prefer one of the best players on the team on the field a little more than 50% of the time! We are only 6 games into the season and he keeps pulling this disappearing act. The guys making significant money and taking up a valuable roster spot. I expect more that's all. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhay Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 We need to start thinking about drafting a corner, possibly in the 1st round, but that doesn't mean we need to get rid of Springs. Let's see how he can come back and hopefully he can finish out his contract here (I have no idea how long he has left on his contract, but I'll assume it's not long).

FuriousD Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 100% that he is our best corner. When he's on the field.100% that he is tied with Fletcher for the best player on our entire defense. When he's on the field. 100% that Springs is on drugs. That's a damn lie! :applause: Fixed it for ya! :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonef1de Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I guess we could call him 50 perCent lol. 50% :laugh: thats a good one I thought we had to draft a CB in the 1st day of the draft given the health history of our CBs. Depth at CB is a problem for almost every team in the NFL so any CB of real NFL promise is gonna go quick in the draft. Why we drafted 2 WRs and a TE (1st day) still mystifies me.

He still has it he shut down TO. He got injured, all the posts about Sean's picture we want Dallas, it was emotional. I think he deserves a pass for right now, some one will step up, Carlos has and Tryon is still waiting in the wings. Chill friend.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooley4President Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I'd rather have a guy who's great when he's on the field 75% of the plays for a year than a guy who's out there 100% and sucks out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGibbsRypenGClark91 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Springs has chronic leg problems. Can't blame him. He should be a reserve at this point his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William3c Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I think Shawn Springs is a key player for the team this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_Fan Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I definitely agree with this thread. He's a good player, one of the best on our defense, but damn, he's injured ALL of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubanl81 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I say we keep him as a reserve mentor type player. And use our 1st pick on a CB. I still think when he does get on the field he shuts down receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Shawn Springs can shut down Rod Gardner. I win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow184 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Shawn Springs is awesome when he's healthy however him being healthy is becoming a rare commodity we need to give Rogers his extension and I love Springs but I'd love to have Nnamdi Asomugh even more this upcoming offseason...

DrinknKoolAid Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I kinda have to agree. I was thinking about this earlier today. Shawn Springs is a shut down kinda CB but it seems like every game I'm always looking for his name (and am amazingly surprised) when it doesn't show up on the injury report. You can't just BE good. You have to be good AND play. It's getting old. Maybe he is too. I'm sure we will be looking in the draft. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVCChairman Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 are you guys SERIOUS? This guy single handedly shut down Terrell Owens for 2 quarters before he left that game.... and in doin it, he showed Rogers how to get at him. Yeah, Springs isnt as healthy as he once was, and he's getting older but the game has not passed him by yet. I hope we keep him, even if we draft a young CB so he can help to teach him. This secondary is getting younger every year, and it's people like Springs that keep players feet on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I don't know, call me crazy but I would prefer one of the best players on the team on the field a little more than 50% of the time! Springs has had his battles with injuries for sure, but he's definitely played more then half the time. So far he's played 4 of 6 games this season. Last year he played in all 16 games. He's missed 11 of 90 regular season games since he's been in Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
