I am all about the trenches...good teams win the game in the trenches, of all the changes the game has undergone over the last ten-twenty years, that's the one thing that has remained the same...I hope we go all line in the draft this year, maybe even in FA as well...
Well I'll throw out what I've been laughed at for (by a few here, I'm keeping a list ) the past three years here.

What about moving Shawn Springs to safety...a la Rod Woodson.

That doens't sound all that far fetched...I believe it was even talked about by the coaching staff some wasn't it?...

I think he'd make a great safety and would do excellent in deep coverage, which seems to be Doughty's biggest weak point...

Now the next question is can we hang on to him?...

I understand there was a little bit of bad blood between him and the FO over his refusal to renegotiate his contract. Any chance that the way the team stood by him with all he's been through this year with his dad etc. might have helped heal a few wounds?

I think Springs might be good at FS as he's got a nose for the ball, has great cover skills, can play the run, and his speed is in decline. My only concern would be the added punishment that he would take at safety.
