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.
