I was really hoping he'd be back this week because we really need a guy on defense. I dont think the Jaguars have a great offense, but they can still score some points, and Springs could make a huge difference if in and healthy.

We really need this man back in action.

They ran him in practice last week, and he tweaked his groin. That, however, was apparently not related to the decision not to play him against the Texans.

Well think of it logically. Rogers is on the 1 receiver most of the time now....he really isnt capable so they always provide him with some sort of help over the top....With springs on the 1 receiver they feel more comfortable in his coverage thus less help rolling to his side. Rogers did a decent job on the 1 receivers(TO did nothing against us) it was pretty much their 2nd and 3rd receivers who owned us with the exception in johnson. BUT with Rogers covering their 2nd guys im sure he will do a better job than wright and Springs on the first guy...this opens us up for the blitz.... OH YES we will blitz hard and often :-) SO basically Although it seems a tad weird Springs is affecting us this much...logically it makes sense!!

and also not related to the previous injury..

My prediction regarding Springs is he's not going to be 100% until the middle of the season at least. I wouldn't be suprised if he doesn't play at all this year.

Just my gut feeling.

right - the previous injury is what wasn't ready. i'm not sure why they even mentioned the groin injury if it didn't contribute to the decision not to play him. i do have to wonder if he tweaked the abdomen injury by practicing too early.

if PP wasn't on IR i'd feel better about the whole secondary :/ I think taylor is a good match up for bigger WRs and him in man + PP in zone is better than ST in zone + rumph in man/zone.

Sorry off topic abit but, these new Portis avatars are freaking way to funny.

If he is able to go this week, I still sit him. At least until we have coverage issues. Jags O is far less of a concern then their D. We desperatly need Shawn in NY next week.

[That Guy]

luckily, they only have tall slow WRs, and we've only got tall slow DBs. not as bad a matchup as andre johnson or terry glenn.

[Bozzy]

Springs needs to stop lollygagging along and get on the fucking field.

I really believe the threat of a shutdown corner, which springs was at onetime, puts a little bit of fear in the oppostions game planning. With that being said i dont think anyone fears wright, rumph, and rogers. Springs is that difference maker in the secondary. My biggest fear is that springs wont make it back in time. the last i have read of his situation is he probably wont even make the giants game. to have any hope of beating the colts we need him healthy.

Springs is acting like a realy Pus*y, do your damn job. In the NFL players play through the pain. Everyone knows that there are players that wont or cant play throught the pain and unfortunatley he is one of them. Jansen played most of last season w/ two broken thumbs, Emmit Smith played a game with a separated shoulder, sh*t TO came back after 4 weeks with a broken ankle, but Springs cant go in with a strain?
