FOUR WEEKS LATE
I'm not gonna say benching Shawn Springs would have won the Seahawks one more road game that what they have won (Jeremy will), but I think starting Ken Lucas over Springs is a move that is long overdue.
The article rats out Springs on two third-down plays, and if most of those untimely third-down conversions that take place against the Seahawks are because the opponents are going to wherever Springs is, that's reason enough to bench him right there. The other reason is simply put -- Ken Lucas is a better cornerback than Springs right now, who is still playing hurt, no matter what he says.
And big thanks to the Tribune for giving me an article to work with, which is something they haven't done in quite a while since Larry LaRue is nowhere to be found. You can rest assured I won't link to any Darrin Beene stories. He's not LaRue, and he loves the Mariner brass.
