Shawn Springs to have surgery

[SmootSmack]

Springs is my favorite Redskin so it sucks to see him out. But better in August/early September than November/early December.

As has already been mentioned in this thread and others injuries are part of the game, and depth is a concern no matter what team you root for. But let's not forget that we have Gibbs, Williams, and Saunders. No other team has that. We (and almost everyone else) have talked all off-season about how getting Al Saunders was our biggest acquisition "Look what he did in KC, top ranked offense with Eddie Kennison, Marc Boeritger, and Samie Parker as his top WRs." And on defense, "Look at Gregg Williams, top ranked defense with an undrafted free agent leading the charge at middle linebacker. And he's got three defensive coordinators on his staff!" And don't forget Gibbs "This guy has won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QBs and RBs. He won with Mark Rypien at QB! He won with Timmy Smith at RB!"

Obviously having your full starting roster and having talent helps. But, and I may be wrong, I don't think either way it's really talent that's going to separate us from the rest. It's our coaching staff and what they can do those 53 men (talented or not so talented).
