Shawn Springs on ESPN980
Doc and Mike asked Springs if he thought he would be back here next year. Springs said it would probably depend on what happend with Rogers and Hall. When they asked what he meant by that, he offered some generic comments and then said he would not be surprised if BOTH Hall AND Rogers are gone next year. He then went on to comment on a wide array of Skins' topics: Here are some the highlights(paraphrasing):

Re: Shawn Springs on ESPN980 now
Nevermind how this will go over with Andre Carter and the rest of the defensive front. WTF is with the Redskins lately. Makes me miss Joe Gibbs.

Re: Shawn Springs on ESPN980 now
It's not like the D-line was getting pressure, im sure they are aware of where they were compared to other teams.

Re: Shawn Springs on ESPN980 now
Springs is just stating the obvious. Just listening to Springs, he doesn't seem angry or emotional like Portis. Just listening to him, he certainly seems like a very smart guy and a good communicator. This is kindof unrelated, but I could easily see him working as a coach or TV/radio sports analyst.

Re: Shawn Springs on ESPN980 now
** I updated my original post with Springs' thoughts on Santana Moss, Jason Campbell, and the the rookies.

Spagnulo came here and didn't want any part when he realized the structure of the front office. He tried to respectfully decline but the Skins FO bashed him so it didn't seem like they were inept...kinda like breaking up with your girlfriend before she breaks up with you...very childish. The front office structure has to change before players start to believe this organization can win. Otherwise you'll get players playing for a payday and nothing more.

Re: Shawn Springs on ESPN980 now
I'm listening now. I was just about to start this exact thread!
Another little nugget: Doc Walker asks, "Can Jason Taylor be the Jason Taylor of the Miami Dolphins?" Springs after a very long pause: "I have to plead the Fifth on that." In the same sentence, Springs also mentioned how their defense takes great pride in their ability to stop the run, and how the guys in the secondary demand an incredible standard of play among any new corners who come to this team. He also said that Zorn needs to do a better job of bringing the team together, specifically, he has to establish a better relationship with Portis. Springs is being very forthright in this interview. |

Re: Shawn Springs on ESPN980 now
sounds like springs always does after the season . . "i dont know if im coming back here . . i said goodbye to everbody as if i wasnt coming back . . . its not my choice . . . yada yada yada"
go to AZ and train during the summer with TO and others, skip non-mandatory mettings, then show up for pre-season ready to roll. on a side note: i really think our core group of players who have been here for awhile like moss, CP Springs have given up on this franchises ability to put together a winner (maybe rightfully so, players want to win). i just hope it doesnt get contagious but it appears los might be getting the bug too. if only we had 50 london fletchers . . . go skins!! |

Re: Shawn Springs on ESPN980 now
I'm suprised he mentioned Hall and Rogers. But it got him off the hook for a yes or no answer. Not sure exactly what he means about Hall. I mean the Roger didn't play because of Halls impact.
