At this point, my opinion about him kinda changed, who says something like that? Ha, even Carlos admits he can't cover people when he doesn't have help. You're a professional, Carlos, man up and make a freakin play boy.
I remember that play. Galloway ran a slant and was gone. Where was a safety? That wasn't all Rogers fault the scheme was just as much to blame. It wasn't like Galloway juked a safety, he got some space on the slant and that was it. Slants are supposed to be a guaranteed 5-10 yards. When you throw to TO or Rice you may be able to think TD but last year's version of Galloway? Um no. The scheme of that play had just as much to do with the TD.
