2 Qualms with the loss

[MTK]

Springs really had a bad game. I almost wonder if his head wasn't in it. Not that I could blame him for that.

One of the problems I have with Springs having a bad day is that TO has always owned Shawn Springs. TO usually has big games, unless ST is there to light him up or take away the middle. I don't understand how no one else has seen this. The Sharpie incident? That was on Shawn. Everytime we play the Boys or the Eagles (when he was there) TO makes plays.

I'm not taking shots at Springs, but the guy just can't cover TO. Not that that is new to Washington, Champ couldn't cover Amani Toomer.

Redskins cornerback Shawn Springs, who was beaten on several of Owens' touchdowns, said he was overcome by emotion during warmups because he was thinking about his father, former Cowboys running back Ron Springs, who is comatose at a nearby hospital.

"It was tough for me," Springs said. "It brought back a lot of memories of coming to this stadium as a kid."

You know I forgot that his dad was a Dallas player and lives in the area. The bad part is that he had to play no matter what with our injury issues.
