Sorry, I had to post this:
Art (from Extremeskins) says the following:
"Springs is a better player on a better defense. Newman was absolutely shredded, routinely, two years ago. Last year he improved a great deal and went from a total bust to a fairly average to just above starter. Teams don't fear going at him. He's a little old for a guy entering his fourth season. He certainly seems to lack any real toughness we see from Springs out there as witnessed by our whipping of the Cowboys.
Newman is four years younger, so it is likely you'll see Springs start to break down before Newman does, but, even a broken Springs won't ever give up double digit touchdowns as Newman did just two years ago. There's really no comparision. The Cowboys have a better SET of corners because we don't currently have a No. 3 we're comfortable with.
Stats at corner are meaningless in that teams who fear a corner test him less, and therefore, he has lower numbers. Deion Sanders was among the game's ELITE players and teams avoided throwing at him because of it. Springs was tested two years ago, but, teams avoided him this year because he hurt them so much in 2004 and because Harris was an easier target."
Does anyone else have the feeling he would say the same exact thing concerning their skills if the two said players played reversed team roles. I found it quite humorous, but let it speak for itself.
