Shawn Springs talking smack

It's not like TO need any extra motivation, but here it is....
For some strange reason, Redskins CB Shawn Springs decided to publicly challenge T.O. As if the Original 81 didn't have enough motivation coming off a two-catch, 17-yard game.
"I have a track meet Sunday," Springs told the Washington Times. "I can't wait to see it. Me and Terrell 'Usain Bolt' Owens. I'm excited for it. He better be ready."
Not sure it's wise to talk trash to a receiver who torched the Redskins for 173 yards and four TDs at Texas Stadium last season. T.O. did a bunch of that damage to the middle of Washington's Cover 2 zone, but I'm sure the Cowboys would love to see Springs try to stick T.O. without any help.
Ron's son and T.O. have some history. Springs did a solid job vs. T.O. in their first three 49ers-Seahawks meetings, but T.O. got loose for two TDs during a Monday night game in 2002, famously celebrating the second one by pulling a Sharpie out of his sock to sign the football.
"That didn't bother me," Springs told the Times. "I was talking so much trash to him [before the touchdown]."
Springs might be saying the same thing Sunday.
Springs isn't the sharpest tool in the shed is he? TO is going to torch their secondary on Sunday.

Not that big a deal...
Shawn Springs and TO have a history of playing each other tough and they seem to enjoy the challenge the other brings. They seem to have a mutual respect for the other. In that same article, Springs also says this:
“T.O. doesn’t get enough credit for his football knowledge,” Springs said. “Like last year when I jumped the slant on [Terry] Glenn. T.O. would know I knew it was going to be slant, so he’d take it straight and then try to break it in. People see him as T.O. the arrogant guy, but he’s a pretty smart guy. He knows football, and he works really hard.”
Yup…that’s some smack talk.

sure is....
He better be ready."
May not be the worst trash talk I’ve ever heard, but believe me it will be extra motivation for TO. If I were Springs given the history TO torching him, I would’ve shut my mouth this week.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
