Jesus, who the heck voted on this poll?!

Nickel/dime CB, at best.

Do we even bother with #1 CBs on this team? I thought it was more or less like safety: left and right.

Law was a #1 CB and so was Asante. The reason you might have thought we didn't bother lately is because Hobbs doesn't have much resemblance to a #1 CB.

Maybe Springs will flourish in the pats scheme, and turn out to be the #1 CB. I think if the season started today, he would be #2.

Springs is a solid signing who offers a veteran presence among second-year players Wheatley and Wilhite. I've predicted that a healthy Wheatley will win the LCB slot, and I don't see that changing. And I still think we'll draft a CB, as the Pats are in position to select the 2nd or 3rd best CB in this draft (if they desire). So that's a lot of youth at CB w/ the rook and the two youngsters...which allows Spring's experience to provide some balance to the position.

Usually you are looking at his back as he is chasing the #1 WR, or the # 2 WR. Sometimes the #3 WR.

Hobbles might become the best nickleback in the league. He will never become a good #1 CB.

The Redskins fans (most of them) seem have a lot of good things to say about him. THey all say he's good when healthy,

i feel a little better about this signing now.

My feeling is that Hobbs is gonna rock the shiz this year with the that new guy on KR's. I think returning kicks was making his play at CB subpar. And even though, I don't think he sucks.

LOL, perfect comment for the skins forum:

"Just wait until this cap goes away, we'll be kicking ass in no time."
