My feeling on springs is he just doesn't give a shit, an his attitude pretty much reflects that IMO. Have you heard of many players getting kicked in the calf and miss 6 weeks? Come on man, they guy is a fragile egg.

Don't get me wrong really good corner when on the field and maybe our best but Los is closing ground probably already has. But if you are never available to play you aren't worth a shit!

This isn't breaking news, we've been dealing with this constant nick or ding that causes SS to miss big chunks of most seasons for years now. Enough already.

It time for SS to go. I hope we can get a little return out of him this season before he departs, and IMO retires. The guy is done, if your a 50/50 guy you should be getting half a paycheck.

Gotta say I agree. I could understand if Springs tore something, but from what everyone's saying it seems like a tweak. I mean he could at least be rotated in and out, get that calf some work, but he sits out every game.

Portis is constantly playing through pain and though he doesn't develop the way he would if he was healthy, something is better than nothing at all.

Come on Springs, you're a football player, not a cupcake. If you're getting that banged up from season to season and you can't get it rolling, it might be time for you to hang it up. We can use that money on a player who will actually be active for more than a few weeks per season.

Yes he is due to the fact he's a warrior and cares about this team. Along with for starters Pete Kendall, Chris Samuels, Marcus Washington, Smoot, Los, Moss, Jason Taylor, Grif, Laron......you know pretty much the rest of our KEY PLAYERS that play though pretty serious pain/injuries! Then you have 'cupcake'/ Ms.50/50......but I guess thats a special case..?

Anyway enough of SS already.

Hope CP will be ready soon. I think he will be inactive this week for sure..? Next week after a grade 2 MCL sprain I bet he's ready to roll, which should hopefully be a week at least on paper we will need him the least!

I'm not a doctor so I'm not going to pretend to know what an appropriate recovery period is for his injury, especially considering I'm not even sure of an exact diagnosis.

However I do know he needs to be medically cleared to play, and I'm assuming he's not just holding himself out. So if the team doctors are saying he's a no go, who are we to judge if he should be playing or not?

I don't disagree with your point.

But at this point I really don't care, the guy just can't stay healthy over the last several years. He's playing today and thats the great news as I stated when on the field hes a really good corner.

And we can sure us him today.

Looks like aside from Monty, we're going to be the healthiest we've been in a long time this Sunday.

This is very good news.
