What are we doin with our D-Backs?

Who starts? Who is goin?
I heard from a guy that Springs may be moving to safety. Not to sure about the source so if anyone knows something let me know. We definately have an abundance.

Well, Randy Johnson returned to the D-Backs this season. He had back surgery and should have a good, healthy year in the NL.


OHHHHHHHH...


I don't know officially, I doubt anyone other than the coaching staff does, but here's what I would do:

Rogers and Smoot SHOULD be starting at CB.
Taylor and Springs at Safety.
Arch would be the Nickelback and he'd blitz a lot when he's in.

if the skins gey dre bly then i would think they would get rid of springs, in that case the def.backs would be
1-bly (covering the teams #1 wr)
2-rogers (covering teams #2 wr)
3-smoot (covering teams #3 wr)
4&5-taylor & preiluo(sp) safety

*rogers and smoot could swap positions* (could be determined in camp)

We need to get a FS with great range, tackling skills, and play-making ability to help aid our secondary. keep springs at corner.

Draft Eric Weddle from Utah!!

i know ive mentioned this before, and i agree with who you think will be starting but i just cant see the mouth of the south not starting without complaints.

we dont have bly just yet, so Smoot would be starting in theory.

even if we do not get bly and we keep springs, i'm not convinced smoot would start over rogers. i think they would battle it out in camp. neither one of those guys make me overly worried but neither one makes me overly happy either.

Springs would make a great safety across from Sean Taylor.

Two years back when we had Ryan Clark starting, our defense excelled against the pass. Clark wasn't a very big safety at 5'11" and only 205 lbs. but he was better at coverage than anything we got out of Archuleta, Vincent, and Fox last year.

But if you recall, Clark was pretty bad against the run, yet we still had a superior run defense as well. With his cover skills, Gregg Williams was more comfort leaving more guys in the pocket to stuff the run.

That said, Carlos would really have to step it up to be a #1 corner, and smoot would have to get back to his old self. I think there is still the possibility that Bly could come over. Whether archuleta is involved in that trade or not (Lynch is getting old...) I doubt it, but we gotta move on from him.

right now
starting corners- smoot and springs
starting safetys- taylor and prilieou(sp?)

This sounds good in theory but Springs is the only guy that has proven that he can shut down a #1. They aren't going to pay him 7 million to be a strong safety.

It would make more sense to move Rogers or Smoot to SS before Springs at this point.

Springs last year here is going to be on the island.
