Re: Shawn Springs throws down the gauntlet on T.O.

I don't like it. The last thing I want to do is fire up the powerful Cowboys offense. Springs typically covers TO pretty well, but as people are mentioning he got smoked for four TDs in one meeting.

TO is definitely a tough guy to cover, and coming off his performance Sunday night he will be motivated to have a big game. Yes, TO had four tds last time out but what gets lost in the big picture is that we still had the ball with a chance to win late in that game.

Springs is stepping up to the challenge, I like that he's talking. That says he has confidence in his ability and the defense's ability to slow TO down. But as for firing up the powerful Cowboys offense, Daseal they are #1 in the NFL so I think they are already fired up. We're going down there to hose them Cowturds off!

These guys are friends and train together during the summer. Just a like joshing between to guys who know each other well, both on and off the football field.

I agree, this is a non-issue. These guys know each other well and it's not like Springs was saying anything inflammatory.

Hopefully Landry can step up and scare T.O. like Taylor used to

Re: Shawn Springs throws down the gauntlet on T.O.

I wouldn't exactly say that Springs "threw down the gauntlet." He didn't really say anything inflammatory.

That said, I'm happy we have a healthy Springs to guard him. But did anyone see the way Larry Fitzgerald got behind Reed Doughty on Sunday? I know everyone saw the way TO got behind him *cough* four *cough* times last season. That deep post could eat us alive.

doubt it...Sean Taylor's size is what scared TO...there is really no DB out there now that TO is scared of...maybe linebackers...I remember Marcus Washington was closing on him once when he was in Philly...I've never seen someone head for the sideline as quick as he did

Yeah no biggie. You have to get fired up about your best competition. I'm excited to see us go out and play this weekend. We belong in the NFC east playoff race and this is our chance to prove it.

If Landry can get a few of his hits on Owens, he'll be intimidated by him also. I'd like to see a few Horton-Owens-Landry sandwiches on Sunday.

Re: Shawn Springs throws down the gauntlet on T.O.

We sold a 90% Champ for Clinton Portis, and it was a good deal for everybody. I just remember Champ getting torched regularly towards the end.

Everyone should probably just disregard this post, however, I can't honestly evaluate a Georgia Bulldog.

GO GATORS!
