T-Y, I really do not think it is about the physicality of the receiver as TO and Boldin is but instead Springs' ability to usually help shut down the oppostie teams top receiver. I have confidence in Smoot and Torrence has been playing really well also but neither is the caliber CB as Springs is...His play has been great since ST's murder and I think that we will miss that this week.
Mike I think that Springs is the best at the line of scrimmage locking down a receiver at the break but his one downfall is if they give a cusion. He does not have the speed like he use to have, but saying that name me two CB's that can tackle better than Springs in the open field.
