Re: Is Springs lacking Heart??
 

I don't question his heart or his lack of wanting/wishing he could play more. But I don't think there is anything wrong with suggesting we look at trading or letting him go. I'm not sure what we're paying him. But he really is has been injured for a good portion of his tenure with us. While he contributes when he's on the field and playing....I'm not sure it warrants keeping him around.

[quote=skinsfan69;492114]Springs isn't lacking heart. He just can't stay healthy anymore. Why would we want a starting corner out there w/ a bad calf? I think it's time to move in another direction next year.[/quote]

You are correct! It matters not, the why. You are either suited up every oppurtunity ready to deliver "the best you can be", or you are not. When the not becomes a habit.......change is due. It's due
Carlos and Smoot are probably the "every Sunday" tandem until addressing it in the off-season

Shawn Springs has two years left (including this year) on what is his gold mine contract. I'm sure he doesn't want to aggravate any injuries that would prevent him from collecting the 8 mil or so that he gets in 2009.

Does he lack heart? Yeah, I would say so if your definition of heart is playing when you're a little dinged up. The guy has always been a #1 talent but let's be clear - he isn't the quintessential team-first balls to the wall guy.

He is an extremely talented player who has managed his career safely and maximized his financial returns.

I don't know what his injury really is, but he seems to miss time for a lot of things that seem minor and other players on the team play with. This past Sunday C. Rogers and J. Taylor were playing with calf problems. Griffin was playing with a bad shoulder. Maybe I'd feel different if I heard the coaches say that Springs was dying to get on the field but they were having to keep him out.... but that doesn't seem to be the sentiment around the park.

When springs plays our D is that much better. According to reports its a pretty bad strain or the muscle and as a corner or any position for that matter, the calf muscle is pretty important. I would rather him being out now with the bye week coming up than not having him down the stretch. I think with the position we are in right now, and how well the D has played we have that ability to sit him out until he is 100% and have him ready when we get towards the end of the season. To say he lacks heart....not sure how that is warranted.

I'm sure that he has heart. But is it made of glass?

I really hate this thread

Re: Is Springs lacking Heart??
 

Maybe he does'nt lack heart, but it's just so frustrating how much better we can be when he plays. Look at Smoot a groin has gotta be worse than a calf and when he found out Springs could'nt go he made himself play and he played well. I love Springs he's a great corner. But we have to realize he is a Pussy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah it's just dumb now. Too many people think they are doctors or psychologists.
