Another Corner?

SmootSmack · 03-06-2004, 05:49 PM

Here's a slightly off the wall thought I had. I know Springs when healthy is a great man to man defender. However, I also know he hasn't been entirely healthy lately. So I'm wondering, could Springs play some FS (sort of like Rod Woodson and Jason Sehorn switched to FS) and Butler and Smoot play the corners?

I'm not saying this should be a permanent move made this year, but I wonder if a couple of years down the road this could be an option. Granted, this is assuming we don't draft Sean Taylor

Smootsmack, that could be a possibility, but I'm sure Springs is slated to play CB first.

Going after Butler simply means they're looking for depth. Bauman is fine as the nickel back, but we need at least one more defensive back in case he goes down, or Smoot or Springs get injured. Certainly don't want to be in the position to have to depend on Ade Jimoh.

Well, I'm sure Ade Jimoh Fan Club will have something to say about that.

Yeah, what's up with that? Is he really a fan of Ade Jimoh? When I first saw his screen name, I couldn't stop laughing.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 03-06-2004, 07:23 PM

I hope he's not Ade Jimoh...I'd be upset that we poked fun at him.

Give him a little break, he was an undrafted rookie.

Daseal · 03-06-2004, 07:38 PM

Jimoh actually did decent but got burned a few times. Give him some developmental time.

Even if that was the real Ade Jimoh. He's playing, we're playing monday morning QBs. I think he has the upper hand! 8)

I highly doubt Butler will be brought in to be back up to bauman. Butler was a starter last year with 95 tackles and 4 ints. those are pretty darn good stats and it will be nice to know we have 3 starter quality cbs in case of injury and 3 WR sets which I'm sure the cowpies will be running a lot once they get johnson and so might the eagles if they do wind up getting TO. it's not an expensive deal and I seriously doubt we could find a decent nickelback quality cb with the fifth round pick much less one who could be a starter for a lot of teams.

problem with that is you are in more run support and probably more suseptable to injury, probably not the best spot for a guy like spring's, I do like the fact that he will be playing the majority of game's on grass that should help him with his injuries.

ChounsMan · 03-08-2004, 12:17 PM

I agree this might be an insurance policy & smart policy at that. Say we did not make this trade, next off season we lose Smoots to FA..? We are starting all over again at the corner position.

Springs has 2-3 season left at best. :confused:

Jerametrius Butler has already been through the NFL learning curve & is battle tested. Any 5th rd'er we aquire in the draft will need at least 2 seasons to be battle tested.

I'm 50/50 on this deal...???? :confused:

dieselhog · 03-08-2004, 03:47 PM

Springs is only two years older than Champ. He's only 28.
