How do i figure what?

I simply disagree with you're idea that Redskins should or would consider moving Shawn Springs to SS.

-moving from corner to safety is not like switching from outside linebacker to inside linebacker its an entirely different postion

- very few NFL corners attempt to make the switch from corner to safety and fewer succeed (if it were so simple most corners that lose a step would simply switch to FS)

-normally a team moves a corner to safety when the player can't play corner at a high enough level---Springs is our best corner

-If a corner was to move to safety, FS would be the choice b/c its more coverage focused; A SS primary responsibilty is run support, playing in the 'box' almost like a linebacker, Although Springs tackles well for a corner he would struggle with strong side run stopper

These are the reason why i 'figure' Spring shouldn't move SS; also relax with the questions marks (??), its annoying.
