Shawn Springs on ESPN980 now

Portis needs to take lessons from Springs.
I listened to the entire show and thought Springs was honest and well-spoken.
He didn't take any 'shots' IMO, just told the truth.

I've got no problem with anything Springs said.

Atleast he saying the same things we are saying about the lines. Maybe they might draft some lineman( for once). How would you like to be a player on the team and have the same holes not being addressed year in year out.

Regarding the comments on Davis let's remember what Champ Bailey used to say about Taylor Jacobs. He said he was one of the best WRs he ever went up against... in practice. We never saw that potential when it mattered.

It's not like you see the full potential from anyone on this offense.

The only problem I have with what he said is if it's all true, it's going to be a long season and another 12 months before we start to make the changes necessary to turn things around.

Here are some the highlights(paraphrasing):
Reguarding our DB situation, I'm starting to get a bad feeling in my stomach . Hopefully Springs is just offering his opinions and his comments arent based on actual discussions with 'Los and Hall.


Hall will want to play somewhere that has more of a pass rush. his exact words were: "if you're a corner, you want to play somewhere that can put pressure"
D-Lo is an area kid and like Springs said the Skins would likely give him more money then he could get elsewhere. And who knows we might improve the pass rush.

Interesting comments about Moss and Randle El not wearing any pads. No wonder why they don't go into the middle of the field often.

Wait you mean like no Butt pads, knee pads, or hip pads?

I would be very surprised if Springs is on the team next season. He has not re-structured his contract for two seasons in a row and is just costing huge dollars. $7 mill for a CB who plays only half or 3/4 of a season?

Springs is telling the truth now because he's hoping for a commentator future. His salary could hire Hall and some of the pass rush he wishes we had.

Springs is just angling to maximize his income. All his talk is based on that. He's trying to put the Skins on the spot and he's actually pretty good at it. By claiming that all the CBs are unhappy, he makes himself more valuable. I don't think there will be any mass defection and because of that, I don't think any one of them is indispensable.

I'm listening now. I was just about to start this exact thread!

Another little nugget: Doc Walker asks, "Can Jason Taylor be the Jason Taylor of the Miami Dolphins?"

Springs after a very long pause: "I have to plead the Fifth on that." In the same sentence, Springs also mentioned how their defense takes great pride in their ability to stop the run, and how the guys in the secondary demand an incredible standard of play among any new corners who come to this team.

He also said that Zorn needs to do a better job of bringing the team together, specifically, he has to establish a better relationship with Portis.

Springs is being very forthright in this interview.

They demand a high standard of play for the CORNERS? Ray Lewis demands a high standard for anyone who steps onto the field to play defense for the Ravens. That's why they are good year in and year regardless of who's playing for them. Need leaders on this team.
