Is Shawn Springs our new #1 CB

[VJCPatriot]

Pretty simple question. Let's hear your opinions.

 

[T-ShirtDynasty]

At THIS point, I think he'll be battling Wilhite for the starting spot at LCB.

 

[bakes781]

Not at his age and with the likelyhood of us drafting a day one CB in April.

 

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

At his age, he is a #2 at best.

 

[Icculus]

If he can stay healthy, he should easily be at least the #2 CB. He may push Hobbs for #1. Lets hope so anyway....

 

[slash83]

Hobbs isn't a #1 cb for me even at his age I'd rather see springs matched up on the other teams #1 wr then Hobbs. I really like Hobbs as a #2 though.

 

[dalero]

I hope not.

 

[Mogamedogz]

He's still better than Hobbs as long as he is healthy.

 

[billdog3484]

to think he will not definitely start if healthy is crazy. hes better than hobbs. unless he declined a ton, hes by far our best CB. a rookie CB will not be our #1 or #2. look at the history of CBs. they take a year to be good

As the #1 RCB, Hobbs very rarely lines up against the other team's #1 WR. You won't see Hobbs moving over to LCB, he's got his spot locked down for now.

Hobbs is still #1

Mrs. Hobbs? Is that you?

Well I have seen Hobbs move to LCB at times, and he's actually pretty frequently matched up against other team's #1. Then again we do play a lot of zone.

 

[Box_O_Rocks]

Where's the Nickel/Dime option?

 

[emoney_33]

Mrs. Hobbs? Is that you?

No, and I still think Wheatley (maybe Wilhite) will be day 1 starter opposite Hobbs. Springs will be a fine nickelback...

 

[Sicilian]

I think Hobbs is our #1 for no other reason than he's the most experienced in our system, so Bill will play him as such. Springs may be #1 by year's end, or maybe not, or maybe a kid will step up, but he definitely won't start the year as our #1 CB.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Springs is probably our most talented CB, but he and Hobbs are different players. I think that Springs will be conserved, and used primarily when he's really needed- against the big, physical WRs that Hobbs can't handle very well. That's Springs' specialty.

 

[Calciumee]

I agree with you, but if Springs does start day 1, I reckon by mid-season on oh Wheatley or Wilhite will be starting.

Pushing Hobbs down to nickeblack? That would be nice.

Hobbs is still #1

As much as some on this board don't like it - Hobbs is the #1 and will be for the forseeable future. BB seems to trust/like him.

I think we can all agree he's one of the better STers we've had in some time and I don't see anyone passing him on the depth chart at CB until/if the young guns develop into solid starters.
