Because his panning out is vital to the future of our secondary (if he's a bust, we go into the draft next year with no starting caliber CBs, if he breaks out, we won't miss Springs very much at all), and every time he gets thrown at, its a completion.
Carlos made two great tackles yesterday, one on a running play, and one saving a Booker TD, and we've come to expect that from him, and thats why he deserves to stay in the starting lineup. Problem is, we are now a game into his third season, and he's still not half the cover guy Springs is. He's really got to step it up.
Right now, Rogers and Smoot are going to start at corner for us next year, and that can't sit easy with anyone right now. With all the age on the offensive line, we can't really afford to invest more in the CB position. Carlos needs to start locking down his side right away.
