Where are all the Springs bashers now?

No one bashes his play it's his willingness to play hurt like every other player in the league, Let's just pray he stays healthy

All I have to say is thank God for Shawn Springs. I was ready to start a thread about Ladell Betts.

I don't believe that his forward progress was stopped for long enough to blow the whistle. Ladell did a horrible job of covering up the ball before contact. I can' believe that when you know the defense intends to try to strip you, you allow it to happen. I'm still beside myself.

I hope him getting beat by a 35 yr. old Branch was a fluke.

To me that was as bad a play as Springs will make and it took a perfectly executed pass and catch to do it. That throw was Hasselbeck's best all day. He was beat bya step inside but he wasn't beat enough for it to eb a catch and run and with most QBs that play has a 10% chance of working. Not trying to rationalize but you do have to consider how good a play it was.

Titans tripped today. Yeah. I just wish the Giants would trip more.

It was, he was all over him and Branch just made a great catch. By the way, I believe Springs is older than Branch by 4 years.

Glad to have Springs back.

However for next season he's too much money for the amount of playtime.
He's $7 mill and will play just over half the season.

This is one of the reasons they're giving Hall an audition.

I'm really hoping for a miracle next wk, I think we'll play our best ball of the season, Considering the Taylor tribute and everything, I also think we match up pretty well with them, I mean if Springs was on buress in that 1st game we very well could've won they only scored 16 we have to find a way to get to eli and protect Campbell. The Campbell draw option could come in real handy GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the realistic note, it's pretty sad that we can only beat a 2-8 team by 3 points. Top competitors have been crushing this team. I wince about next week.

Simple game plan for next week... stack the box and play man coverage. Our secondary is playing really good now with Springs back and Hall getting more comfortable. The Giants three-pronged attack (hopefully Jacobs will still be out) is tough. Eli's spreading the ball around, so look to limit FB and TE catches.

I think we'll win next week. Our CB's can contain their WR's which comes to their running game which I hope we can control this time. I believe our receiving corp will improve now that Sellers is being used more, Kelly is healthy and I think maybe Thomas gets more reps.
