Big and physical receivers are going to own us all year. That's not Blache's fault, we just constructed the secondary poorly in the offseason.

What would you have done? Kept Springs?

Not necessarily. I would have driven a harder bargain with Hall, cut Smoot, used the leverage in the FA market to the best of my ability, would have extended Rogers at the price of the Hall contract, and would have made sure that at least one player that I brought in could match-up with bigger receivers. I know the NFC East went a lot smaller at WR this offseason, but the Giants didn't have much trouble throwing on Hall at all.

If Springs had fit in, I wouldn't have been against keeping him, but he was kind of a non-essential part of the plan, at least until we didn't really replace him.
