Oh come on. Where did you hear this? Have you been over at extremeskins reading one of their panic-filled threads? This is not what Bubba Tyer, Williams, or Gibbs said.

Don't post a thread like this without a link!:postcop:

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

as long as he's ready by week 2 i think we'll be good. We need him to handle T.O. on week 2. Minny has Burleson and Robinson, and Robinson is probably gonna get suspended. Minny doesn't have anything i think our defense can't handle without Springs.

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

Nice COMEBACK MIGHTYJOE!!!
Take that biotch!
lol.
Thanks for the news and keep it coming.
I still have faith that we'll be ok when the injury bug ends up at some other camp...

I'm not worried about [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2383020"]Burleson[/URL] in week 1.

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

lol oh yeah, he's in seattle now. I guess that leaves them with Travis Taylor and Troy Williamson. Like i said, nothing our defense can't handle. I hope.

Seriously though, you should post the link at the top of the thread.

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

The silver lining is that it looks like Portis has already begun his rehab. I think he's definitely going to be fine. I also like the fact that at least we know Springs will be out, meaning this will give plenty of time to see if any of the other DBs can be good enough to start week one.

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

Agree w/ Schneed.

I thought you knew how 'we' [URL="http://www.thewarpath.net/204702-post12.html"]operated[/URL] around here, MJG. :silly:

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

A 1-1 start is really no big deal this year. A loss to Dallas will be unpopular around here, yes. But you've got a realitively easy 2-1 start this year. This is the main reason why I'm not worried. The pressure in that Week 2 matchup falls squarely on them, not us. Portis will likely be back, giving us a fighting chance. I honestly don't expect to see Springs before Week 4. Thats when the tough part of the schedule starts with games against Jacksonville and a road game @ NY, 2 games we can not afford to lose (unless of course, we beat Dallas).

The last game we played without Springs, I'd say we did pretty well defensively. And we didn't even have Kenny Wright then.

I get what you're saying about how we should make sure guys are healthy before playing them again, better to have them 100% than to see them be nagged by injury all year.

But I [B]really[/B] don't like the line of thinking regarding the schedule being easy early on. In the NFL there is a very very fine line between winning and losing, and there isn't a single game on the schedule that can be taken lightly. If you don't bring it 110% against the Vikings, you lose. You have to get up for every single game, there is no taking it easy. There's no such thing as an easy 2-1 start in the NFL.

However, I have no doubts that we will give 110% every game, at least in September. And I truely believe things have a way of evening out. If Minnesota somehow upsets us Week 1, we just go take it out on Dallas the week after. Same 2-1.

If I was a gambling man, I would put this team at 2-1 after 3 weeks (barring some injury to Brunell or a prolonged recovery time to Portis).

As far as the Vikings go, they are being hit hard, not only by the injury bug, but by other circumstances (Such as Koren Robinson's arrest). It looks like we are going to be closer to 100% than they will be.

a loss to dallas early is bad tho because of division record. we dont want to start out 1 in the hole in the division. id expect kenny wright to start in his place, solid player.

[quote=Big C;204849]a loss to dallas early is bad tho because of division record. we dont want to start out 1 in the hole in the division. id expect kenny wright to start in his place, solid player.[/quote]It's the worst thing for the tiebreaker, this is true. I'm projecting the final record at 13-3(+-2). I think a 13 win season in a division this strong would speak volumes. I don't see any other team better than 10-6. That gives us a large gap for error without tiebreakers coming into effect. UNless in just dead wrong. But we will see.

The catch is, as I said in my last burgundy army article, we need the bye to have serious playoff chances. So nothing less than 12-4 will cut it. (12-4 wins this divison, easy. No tiebreaker) I believe this is very doable. The key is to get to the bye week with one loss.

So what I'm saying when I say a loss to Dallas is OK, is that we have one to give in the first 7 games (this is not the way Gibbs is thinking about it, do not worry. its just a fans perspective), we will probably be playing w/o Springs, and maybe Portis, and it's the hardest matchup of the bunch.

No one here will be complaining about a Dallas loss if we were to begin 6-1.

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

Move Sean Taylor to CB for the Dallas game and he can shadow TO all day. I'm not joking. We start 2-0 with or without Springs.

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

he could play physical with T.O. We know T.O. dont like that. he aint tuff

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

Kenny Wright is aweful.

The ADE will be a breakout player of the year!!!!

Seriously, it's somthing to think about. He has the speed but you'd have to play him man to man...but lets be honest, in man to man situations, the WR is going to win more often than not. I think its going to have to do alot more with the scheme we place on the Dallas offense more than anything. Could Preiloiu possibly play corner? I really like what i've seen from him.

It's true! The Ade really came on last year at the end. He's arguable further along than Carlos Rogers right now.

The idea of putting Sean Taylor on TO is interesting though - it'd be a lot of fun to watch, for sure.

Fantastic reference!

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

the idea of taylor at corner is a very interesting thought for 2 reasons. first, i think taylor could do it. and second, i like seeing preileau(sp?) on the field. always around the ball

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

Praylow( hey, thats how it sounds) played alot of corner when he was with the bills.

Taylor probably won't play CB, but I'm sure he'll be hawking over T.O. regardless.
I agree about the 2-0 part. Our D-line is gonna be all over Bledsoe.
Go Skins!

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

Honestly, I'd prefer that Taylor just give safety help over the top. Rather than get burned deep, I'd MUCH rather us give up shorter passes than have Pierson playing deep and Taylor at CB.

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

Taylor needs to stay at safety because it's easier for him to strike fear into the cold black hearts of both t.o. and terry glenn at the same time from that position.

Although, I hear glenn still has night-terrors about Taylor. That's the word on the streets.

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

Springs will be back by the Dallas game. I remember last year he was hurt and he was like, "No way they're keeping me out of this one." Hell, CP will be back for Minnesota. Cross your fingers for no more injuries this offseason and things will be right back on track starting September 11th.

I believe Redskins start 4-0. I'm not buying into all this naysayer shit. 4-0 baby. 4-0. Take it to the bank. Toughest game in the first five weeks is at NY. I think we KILL the pukes. Bleedso will be under such pressure he won't even get the ball to where Springs would be anyway, so it won't matter.
Dallas Sucks.

Burleson is no longer in Minnesota. The 'Hawks avenged the Vikings for scooping up Hutchinson.

Re: Springs out likely till week 2 or later...
 

A 4-0 start really puts us on the fast track to the top of the NFC. I don't think its gonna happen, but it certainly could.

Jacksonville is going to be the toughest home game of the year. They are money on the road. I think we can take em, going 8-0 at FedEx.
