How are you not starting, could you not find your helmet a la Thurman Thomas? Seemed like the only time Springs played was as Nickle back and when Smoot would get dinged. Weirdo for sure. FRPLG 09-09-2007, 10:45 PM Someone mentioned this in another thread, But ST and Landry, where the hell where you guys? It seemed like you all were nowhere near the players. I guess this becomes more of a what the hell for GW. I think this was a function our LBs being 100% better than last year. I think ST led the team in tackles in like 13 games last year. The other three were like 1 LB and 2 other Safties. This game our LBs were making the tackles. That is good. Cowell 09-09-2007, 10:47 PM I think the safeties weren't much of a factor because they were going with short passes and runs up the middle a lot. When our safeties played deep they didn't throw deep.

I haven't been able to confirm this, but rumor I'm hearing is it was disciplinary. Springs missed a meeting or something like that. But I'm not sure FRPLG 09-09-2007, 10:50 PM Everytime the ref makes a call on the skins hes grinning from ear to ear? ..... What the hell? There were times I wanted to rip off his face! Btw, nice call on number 44, numb nuts! They made the call, which in itself made little sense, and I said aloud to everyone around. "That fcking John Riggins keeps jumping out of the booth and fcking us every year." Dumb ass refs. The funny thing was watching them call the penalty on us then watching everyone reset to punt over and watching the one ref who threw the flag about 60 yards downfield looking around like "WTF?". Then he sprints up field and blows the whistle and waves his rams like an idiot. Classic. FRPLG 09-09-2007, 10:55 PM I haven't been able to confirm this, but rumor I'm hearing is it was disciplinary. Springs missed a meeting or something like that. But I'm not sure Oh geez. I am cool with like a quarter for that kind of thing but the whole game? If he were a constant trouble maker then maybe. I can't decide whether I hope this is the real explanation or not. hooskins 09-09-2007, 10:59 PM I haven't been able to confirm this, but rumor I'm hearing is it was disciplinary. Springs missed a meeting or something like that. But I'm not sure Great, issues with the secondary again... hooskins 09-09-2007, 11:00 PM Oh geez. I am cool with like a quarter for that kind of thing but the whole game? If he were a constant trouble maker then maybe. I can't decide whether I hope this is the real explanation or not. Well the only other possible one is that he was a bit dinged up. SmootSmack 09-09-2007, 11:15 PM Oh geez. I am cool with like a quarter for that kind of thing but the whole game? If he were a constant trouble maker then maybe. I can't decide whether I hope this is the real explanation or not. Well I've only heard it from one person. And it's not someone I 100% believe or can count on without confirming with someone else 724Skinsfan 09-09-2007, 11:18 PM Well I've only heard it from one person. And it's not someone I 100% believe or can count on without confirming with someone else I wonder if he had to help or simply wanted to help his dad get to Dallas. Drop him off at the airport or whatever. Sometimes you break the rules for a good reason but from a management perspective you still need to be punished.
