shawn springs said today that he is ''cautiously optimistic that he will play this week. what do u guys think play him against tennesse or let him heal more for the colts

Well he had his best day of practice this season so far today and he even got a pick during the session. At this point it looks like he may see a few plays this week (probably passing situations).

sounds good to me can't wait to get him back we will finally get a chance to see what williams was planning with this defense

I would prefer that he didn't. And if he does, only minimum plays b/c I don't want him to get hurt against an easy team.

I don't think that this game is any less important than the Indy game. Springs has spent more than enough time on his butt. Time to get back to work.

this game is more important than the INDY game because it is THIS WEEK. This is the most important game of the year. The titans will come to play!

Even id he doesn't, having him back at practice this week hopefully gave the D a boost, maybe forced Rogers to work harder, having a veteran back in there.

...I dont know what I'm talking about, I just know the D needs to play better.

I don't want him to play..rest up for the colts...we will need him for that game more than this one...Vince only has 351 yrds in three games...that's like an average of 115 yds a game..not to worried

Hopefully they're not rushing him back, but I'm with you guys. Can't wait to see Springs back on the field!!!

If Springs were out, any team with a half way decent Offensive Co-ord is going to try and exploit our secondary so Springs needs to be in as soon as he's healthy. Even the Titans are smart enough to go after our secondary, as I'm sure they believe that it's the only way they're going to win. As CP said, they have nothing to lose so they're going to attack our secondary all day long. We have to be ready, and quite frankly, I don't have a whole lot of confidence in Kenny "what's a CB?" Wright or Mike "I'm lost" Rumph in covering ANY receiver in the NFL, Titans or otherwise. We need to get Springs game ready as soon as physically possible. If he sits against the Titans, we don't know if he'll be in top form for the Indy game so I'd rather have him play against the Titans and know what he's capable of against Indy.

Kenny Wright and Mike Rumph are going to get exploited no matter who we're playing. They're about as bad of a defensive tandem as there is in the NFL. So, do we rest Springs if he's healthy? Absolutely NOT!!

i agree with everything you said. i think it says a lot that williams was forced to put sean taylor on man to man with burress this week. we NEED shawn "big mouth" springs back asap!
