Well, that's kinda hard to say.. He's our #1 shutdown DB, only when he's healthy.. But unfortunately, he haven't been healthy for more than half of season for last two or perhaps three years? Like in Jason Taylor situation, if he's willing to take pay cut then sure.. If not, thank him for his contributions to the organization and show him the doors..

Springs was basically healthy for all of '07, this year was a return to his usual delicateness.

Well he played 30 of 32 games in 2004 and 2005, and didn't he break his wrist or something like that in 2006 causing him to miss half that season? I don't think he's quite the fragile doll he's portrayed to be.

He's been pretty fragile this year.

As to who started and who didn't -- it's pretty clear that Blache, like Gregg Williams before him, don't get hung up on who's starting, or who is classified as #1 or #2. Seems like all the secondary guys are basically interchangeable. Depending on health, who's had better practices, who matches up better against opposing receivers, the defensive coaching staff just goes with the best guy possible -- and all of them will see plenty of playing time.

With everything that's wrong with this team, I am perfectly comfortable with whatever they do with the secondary week to week.
