How do you feel about Shawn Springs?

W/ big-time speed, avg speed, and some extra coaching shouldn't this kid be in the mix on some cover packages?

Apparently he's an up and comer. He played well in nickel and as a backup last year. He's young and will be a contributor. Not a starter, but definitely someone to keep an eye on. He was in the mix last year, and I think we'll see him some this year as well.

Torrence looked pretty out of place when he got extended time last year. I hope his problems are technique related & can be corrected w/time & coaching. If not, it's a matter of time before his roster spot is taken, whether this year or next.

I remember reading that Jerry Gray and the secondary coaches were very happy with the way he progressed throughout the season. Apparently he's one of the fastest guys on the team, but raw. If he continues to learn and be coachable, I think he can be a serviceable backup for us.
