Don't get angry with some NFL analyst just because he happens to say something less than totally laudatory about a Redskins' player.
Remember, he's talking about a team that was 5-11 last year!
Springs is not nearly the elite cover corner he was 5 years ago. Part of that is injury; part of that is age; part of that is that is that other elite cover corners have emerged since the time that he was - unquestionably - in that category.
Springs- when healthy - is so obviously the best CB on the Skins' roster at the moment that any debate on that topic should be filed under "S" for "Sheer Stupidity".
Nonetheless, a half dozen other teams have a better #1 cover corner than the Skins do and maybe that number is as high as 15. But I still want Springs on the field for every defensive snap in 2007 if the Skins' defense is going to improve over last year's horrid showing...
