Springs injures groin in practice

[gibbsisgod]

IMO, Rumph improved from week 1 to week 2. I think we will be fine with our DBs this week. I never thought Springs should play this week anyways so this just gives him one more week to get completely healthy.

And we are just getting all of our injuries out of the way and come December, we will be fresh and ready for the patented Joe Gibbs December push for the playoffs. Lets just hope that its not too late...

Gibbs says it was just soreness from not being in work, but that it wasn't serious.

The wrong guys keep getting hurt!!! Maybe Mario Williams can help with that!!! Earn your paycheck this weekend Mario!!

Can someone translate the Phillip Buchanon and Mario Williams posts to me.

Does the Warpath have a happy hour night?

when it rains it pours. kenny wright and mike rumph together cant make one shawn springs. Where the hell is walt harris? The secondary is the cause of all of the defensive woes. Sean Taylor cant make every play and honestly thats all we have in the secondary. Archeleta, rumph, wright, and rogers arent playing very well and until they step up the d will continue to suck.

Rogers is looking good, but not shut down quality yet. Rumph is improving. I actually miss W. Harris too, he's better than wright.

Walt Harris had 4 tackles and 1 Pass Defended the first 2 games with Redskins in 2004.

Mike Rumph has 6 tackles and 1 Pass Defended his first two games with the Redskins.

Kenny Wright has 4 tackles and 0 Passes Defended.

I don't see such a tremendous loss so far. Not sure about what, if any, penalties Harris had though. Wright has made a couple of major ones. Harris' first year wasn't all that spectacular, though: 17 tackles, 2 INT's.

Maybe you should rethink this one...why do they have tackles? thats because there man is catching the ball. As far is Rumph...lets see if San Fran gave up on him what really does that say about him? 49ers are awful and they dont want him. And Wright...if you ask me he was exposed in preseason game 1. You cant blitz they way Williams wants to without corners who know how to cover. And with Harris being penalty prone...no more penalties than i have seen rogers get thus far this season

I'm only comparing Harris' first two games with the Reskins versus Rumph and Wrights first two games. Harris didn't come in immediately and make a huge splash, neither has Rumph and Wright. It takes time to adapt and Greg Williams has shown a special knack for getting better performance out of "castoffs". One of the two will emerge as a decent CB midway through the season.

That's not necessarily true. Suppose they made the tackle on a receiver that was someone else's man? Maybe it was a running play?

We do have four guys up front who do not provide any presure on the QB giving him all day to throw the ball. We should not have to rely on the blitz on every play to put some presure on the QB but thats what it comes down to. Giving any QB the time we are giving they are going to find an open WR. So ther as much of the problem as our CB's. If our D relies that much on one player than that a problem. Others have to step up when one goes down. All teams loss players its how they respond which seperates the good teams from the bad.

Is it too late to make a trade for a CB? There must be some quality in the league tha could be an upgrade for us, Springs is always hurt, and we have a stock pile of both WRs and RBs.

ahem...Walt Harris sucks.

(I might have pulled my groin - it's been awhile since I've had to do that!)

Springs is playing - that's my bet. Anytime a player misses more than a down or two of practice, they have to report something. From the report Matty linked, it sounds like he just tweaked it.

If you hadn't made it to ESPN.com or Redskins.com then you would know that he isn't playing.

If I "hadn't made it to ESPN.com"? What are you talking about? Did you mean "if I had made it to ESPN"? Plus, he's still listed as questionable on both sites. You don't make sense...

That said, I should have been clearer - what I was trying to say is that my bet is that the groin injury doesn't keep him out. If the recovery from the abdominal surgery keeps him out, well, that's not a "new" reason to panic.
