Please enough of the Rogers Bashing already...doesn't anyone remember how Baily was constantly and i meen conastanly beaten on 8 yard hooks also remember in Bailys developmental years he had the likes of Sanders and Green helping him out Rigers had for the most part of the year Kenny Wright and Mike Rumph.

The 10 yard cussion is a scheme thing it makes the play happen more infront of the CB meaning he is less likey to get beaten deap and they can respond and move down hill to a play as the play as unfolds meaning you CB's are more veritle defenders .

You will tend to find people play more press coverage in zone schemes where the CB is not left on an island and has safety help on most plays .

Also I doubt with few exceptions any of the 11 of 17 top 10 CBs mentioned in a previous post and put them in the same defence Rogers was in and in thier second year they would have strugled.

Anyway onto the trade and does anyone think it is odd that the only person pushing this is JLC. He has been pushing this since at least sunday an now a lot of the other outlets are picking up on his story days later . He was going for the scoop that the Skins were in trade talks with the Lions and Denver and would be part of a three way trade ala Duckett after picks. Now given that did not pan out he is pedling this other rumor.

Now something may come of this and I for one hope it doesn't . Bly may be great but not signifcantly better than Smoot Springs and Rogers so if you trade for him you instantly create a log jam at CB and would have to either trade or cut Springs . If you trade Betts then you weaken the team in one place RB to stay put at another. Plus you loose out on your chance to control your own destiny come draft day and miss an impact play at possition of need on the DL. I still think trading down is a good way to go but 21 is way tooo far.
