Shawn Springs throws down the gauntlet on T.O.

I don't like it. The last thing I want to do is fire up the powerful Cowboys offense. Springs typically covers TO pretty well, but as people are mentioning he got smoked for four TDs in one meeting.

These guys are friends and train together during the summer. Just a like joshing between to guys who know each other well, both on and off the football field.

no Taylor was. But Springs himself was dealing with his fathers health issues at the time and I don't think he was exactly "in the game"

I'm looking forward to a good game by him.

Carlos Rogers wasn't playing either.

Hopefully Landry can step up and scare T.O. like Taylor used to

That was the first game after Sean Taylor had been hurt. Our D looked lost out there w/ Landry, a rookie, and Doughty, basically a rook in the safety positions. I think Springs was out there but I believe we just couldn't execute very well w/ that many guys back there. I think that was also Landrys first game at Free safety too. We were lost.

I think Doughty got burned a few times. After that game he played much better the remainder of the year.

So maybe getting beat once by Warner will give him the primer to have a better Dallas game!

I wouldn't exactly say that Springs "threw down the gauntlet." He didn't really say anything inflammatory.

That said, I'm happy we have a healthy Springs to guard him. But did anyone see the way Larry Fitzgerald got behind Reed Doughty on Sunday? I know everyone saw the way TO got behind him *cough* four *cough* times last season. That deep post could eat us alive.

T.O. was scared shitless of taylor plain and simple. I realllllly hope that landry can assume that role now and put some hurtin on that loud mouth.

I don't know about that. Champ is very good but a little overrated IMO.


Maybe a bit overrated, but I still would have liked to see Champ stay here, along with Smoot. Smoot might not have regressed if he had stayed put and not get mixed up in the Viking BS. WE got him back and only got a shell of his former self. Carlos and SS get injured too often to be really valuable anymore IMHO. If SS isn't 100% Sunday, TO is going to scorch him at some point.

I got my popcorn ready.

Ha ha, in nerd speak this is like Professor X vs Magneto.
