JuanGuzman Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I remember watching the game. Springs did a terrific job against T.O that game and was a big part of why Washington won the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 If you do it by yourself (truly single coverage) and then the rest of the DBs shut down the other guys, yes, that (70-some yards, 1 TD) is something to crow about. Covering any WR with true single-coverage, is hard enough...when that player has the skills of TO, it's insane. Truthfully, though, I doubt he really had true single-coverage on TO, the whole game. But, if he did, those aren't bad numbers, at all. So all the other teams have to do is sign Ozzy Osbourne to cover him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
