Who lines up against #1 Wide Out? Springs or Smoot?

Taylor is the best available player and will keep our team doing well for years to come. DLinemen also will take longer to bring around. EIther way I think our DLine will be sufficient. I think if Taylor is there at #5, unless we get an incredible deal on draft day then we should take him!

I think both corners will be good for us and more importantly they want to be Redskins. If we had Sean Taylor roaming around back there too (6'2", 228, 4.4 40) he'd be able to cover receivers and knock the crap out of them.

As a longtime Seattle resident, let me fill you all in what you're going to get with Shawn Springs. First, he'll be hurt by the 4th exhibition game, if not the second or third. He'll give a long interview with a local columnist about how this was his year and it's so heartbreaking that he's hurt. He'll vow to still come back and have a great year. Springs loves to play the part of the big star but when he does play, you'll see a big completion with him showing up a couple seconds late time and time again. Here's another couple things to know about him. He was beaten by Terrell Owens on the infamous sharpie play in 02. Owens signed the pen in front of Springs. Did he blow a gasket? No-they have the same agent and he patted him on the butt. Also, when Emmitt Smith broke the all-time rushing record in Dallas, Springs went over and patted him too. This guy thinks he's a star but he's not. He'll be hurt and have a million excuses. This was a huge blunder by the Skins-10 million bonus-what a waste of money.

I think Gibbs can motivate him to do better. I'm not saying he's a miracle worker, but I think Gibbs just brings something extra to the table that the 'Skins haven't had in quite a while. I think that our secondary is going to be something special, but we'll see.

I have all the respect in the world for Joe Gibbs but this guy is a dog, I'm sorry to have to tell you guys that. He's also a very mediocre if not poor tackler. He certainly is not worth a 10 million bonus-that was money very poorly spent by the Skins. I absolutely GUARANTEE he's hurt with something,
most likely a hamstring by August 31st.
