Does Anyone Think Carlos Rogers Will End Up Being Good

[memphisskin]

I think he's going to be an excellent #1 corner, and this year will help him along the way. True, he has been picked on more than usual this year, but on most of those plays he's been right there with the guy. Once he starts looking for the ball when the receivers do, he'll break up more passes.

Technique you can learn. He's got enough size, speed, and talent to be a #1 guy. It's only his 2nd season. And we've had some gawd-awful corners here before, or am I the only one to remember the Martin Mayhew era?

Kinda like it's hard to blame just Brunell for the offensive struggles, you can't pinpoint the poor coverage just on Carlos. Especially with Kenny Wright playing even worse coverage on the other side.

How can you possibly say that he's been "right there with the guy" are you watching the same games? he gives a 5-8 yard cushion religiously...in no way has he shown an ability to keep up. that said, he does have all the tools, let hope he learns to use them...and catch.

I've seen him with tight coverage quite a few times, his problem is he doesn't get his head turned around to play the ball.

His "cushion" is in all likelihood a result of the scheme and not his choice.

fair enough, however, do you see springs giving that kind of cushion? perhaps williams knows that rogers can't cover (tightly) which is why his scheme's provide for cushion...

Yes. He has trouble reading the body language of a Rec. It seems like he looks back right as the ball is over his head sometimes. I also think he needs work on his jams. Receivers seem to push him aside all the time, hence he is usually trying to catch up, and that's where the looking back comes in.

i agree there.

i mean damn, are we moving on to carlos now? he DOES need to get his head turned, but damn his coverage by and large has been good.

No shit. Maybe we should have a thread for every starter and everyone can rip them apart for all the things that each one of them has done wrong this year and the fact that it has contributed directly to the redskins record thus far. Gimme a break fellas.

[GhettoDogAllStars]

in my redskins madden franchise, rogers has steadily improved and he is rated in the mid 90's ... I'm just saying.

[Chief X_Phackter]

He will be fine. I am not sure that he is the right fit for GW's system, but time will tell. He's probably better suited for the cover 2. I'm hoping this year he will grasp it and turn out to be a great pick for us in the long run.

Answer = NO.

[PWNED]

just like matty said, the d in general has played like crap.

[dall-assblows]

but remember, if the man could catch he would have 2 or 3 ints that i could see.

[bigm29]

he looked good his rookie year but right now everyone in our defense looks bad so you cant say anyting about him yet

I hate to say it, but I dont think he has the speed to play corner. He seems to be very easly turned around. He either lacks the speed of a good corner or the agility. I hope I am wrong. We all complain about the free agents the we bring in, but the Redskins have had bad luck with high draft choices dating back to the eighties.

He has great timed speed, he just needs to concentrate on improving his footwork in coverage so it translates onto the field.
