OT a little bit here ... always take Wiki with a grain of salt - or check the sources. There is no source of Springs' signing on Wiki right now.

It's my belief that all this Cb stuff last nite was intentional by Pees and BB.
Wheather it was Ochocinco or Chris Henry,the defense was NOT rotating A safety to that side.
It's preseason,they wanted to see what Wheatley could do,they left him out on an island,on purpose.
THAT'S how you evaluate people.....it's, trademark- belichick,imo.
Lastly,that pass from Sullivan to Henry,was phenomenal.
If it's 4th and 16 in the regular season I don't think you'll see a heavy blitz with Wheatley(or any corner for that matter) left on an island with a WR as good as Chris Henry.
Exactly, BB's priority in preseason is not to win, it's to evaluate. If it's 4th and 16 in the regular season I don't think you'll see a heavy blitz with Wheatley(or any corner for that matter) left on an island with a WR as good as Chris Henry.
The secondary clearly looks like they're still trying to gel. That's the only reason that I'm not too concerned right now.
Grades after two games
Bodden = B+
Butler = B-
Love = C-
Springs = D- (did you see Benson juke him on the first or second series,. Pitiful.)
Wheatley = Incomplete
Looks like people are ready to cut Wheatley already...HILARIOUS!
He showed some nice glimpses last year - mainly as a nickel back covering the slot.
Now after a couple of poor PRE-SEASON efforts he is suddenly the second coming of Deltha O'Neal.
People exercise little or no self control on this board and act like a bunch of spoilt children.
What is hilarious is that you think that Wheatley as of now is better than Deltha O'Neal. Wheatley will not be cut because we can afford the luxury of carrying a couple of developmental high draft choices on the inactive roster (Wheatley and Crable) in the hope that they will eventually mature into contributers.
If the 2009 season were the only consideration, I'd much rather have Deltha O'Neal as our #5 corner than Wheatley. Of course the hope is that Wheatley will be our 2010 nickel or even develop into a starter.
I don't believe I even said that.
Deltha O'Neal reached the peak of his curve before he even got here - Wheatley has plenty to learn and its simply way to early to judge what the peak of his curve is.
Deltha O'Neal is just a below par corner back and won't get any better - saying that you'd rather take that over Wheatley this year is a borderline strawman argument.
As far as i'm aware the world doesn't end after the 2009 season so your argument pro-Deltha is without merit.

Not sure why it's "hilarious" or shows a lack of self-control or being "spoilt children". The DB corps wasn't nearly as deep last season; they've added Springs, Bodden, Butler, Sanders, McGowan, and Tank Williams is back. It's not like they NEED Wheatley. He's coming off injury, and has looked bad. "Showing nice glimpses as a nickel back" (pre-injury) doesn't mean he's a lock, does it?
Wheatley's game was crap. Yes, he was forced to cover 6'4" Henry, but does anyone remember that Wheatley got burned for long TDs on 2 conscutive plays? The first was caled back on a penalty, then Wheatley was subsequently burned on the very next play.
Yes. Given that Wheatley was a second round pick last season and had cracked the starting lineup before getting injured, it does.
And, again, he "cracked the starting lineup" because the starting lineup kinda sucked. They've added quite a few guys since then.
And Wheatley's coming off injury.
And looked like sh*t.
And the fact that he was a second rounder is worth a lot. Ask Chad Jackson.
But, okay. He's a lock, 'cause you say so.
