Don't Forget Shawn Springs

SmootSmack · 12-07-2007, 01:18 AM

He wasn't supposed to play today because of back pains.

Instead he had two major interceptions. And the first one was a textbook play by a veteran that turned the momentum and set up the first touchdown.

He was huge, nice to see him make some big plays tonight.

SmootSmack · 12-07-2007, 01:20 AM

And, apart from puking on the sidelines, Smoot has really stepped up the last two weeks as well.

Didn't get to watch much of the game because I was working... but I glanced up every now and then and saw both of his picks.

Love that #24.

Oh, and how clutch was Cooley tonight. Every time I looked up he was barreling down the field. I love how he makes the catch, brings the ball down, and just juggernauts for another 5,10, 15 yds.

Great win.

MTK · 12-07-2007, 01:22 AM

Cooley never gets brought down by one guy, I love his effort.

htownskinfan · 12-07-2007, 01:43 AM

props to Springs,and whats up with his dad? I thought he was suppossed to die weeks ago,I guess he's still in a coma,maybe Taylor can have a talk with God and talk him into a miracle and waking up Ron Springs

I think Smoot has been exceptional the past two weeks, seems like he plays better when he's on the field more. His tackling is pretty clutch most of the time, he steps up and keeps receivers from getting anything after the catch usually, but all his tackles are low so he misses guys occasionally. All and all, I like what Ive seen from him and Im glad hes back here.

Great game for Springs. That INT with the return really got the game going for us.

Cooley has been great, and he was playing hurt there. gotta love the guy.

Good game for ARE as well, I thought. Had some clutch 3rd down catches.

And Portis found a way to get involved on the big swing pass. And he is one of the best at picking up blitzes from the RB spot.

Yoder with big catch. Betts with the big catch. Grif with a huge goal line stop. Smooty playing ball while puking. Thought Reed was good. Marcus got a sack. And, though bone-headed in it's way, and though he dropped two picks, Laron's late hit reminded us that we've still got a hitter back there. Just gotta channel it.

And, it goes without saying, Mr.Todd Collins. The man so juiced they named a drink after him.

And, man, I felt good for Mr. Joe Gibbs.

Or is that a Tom Collins? Lol. Maybe I should invent a Todd Collins. 3 parts moxie, one part lager beer. Let sit on shelf for, oh, five or ten years. Use only as directed.

We didn't hear doughty's name too much... which may be a good sign.

hagams · 12-07-2007, 08:13 AM

Springs was looking great last night. I was glued to the T.V until after the post-game show. I liked what I saw from the other guys as well. Cooley is a beast and he should be a pro-bowl TE.

Yeah, you could see how well the Bears could make plays when he was out of the game for a while. With him in, between Springs and Smoot, they were shut down. Without Smoot, they had some success.

MTK · 12-07-2007, 10:33 AM

Smoot has really played with a lot of heart the past few weeks. He's leaving it all on the field.

dmek25 · 12-07-2007, 10:52 AM

not to mention his dinner

as for Springs, he had pretty tight coverage all game long. even the catches against him were of the sensational variety. and i don't know if there is a better tackler in the league in Fred Smoot. yes, i know he missed one last night. but if he gets to the ball carrier, he usually brings him down

Daseal · 12-07-2007, 11:02 AM

That first int by Springs was a hell of a catch. But Im with Matty, Smoot has been great for the last two games. Im so glad hes home.
