I don't quite understand why some people have a hatred for Carlos Rogers, other than being spoiled for so many years by the likes of Darrell Green and Champ Bailey. Rogers does have some coverage issues, but I'm not so sure those issues aren't the product of the defensive scheme, rather than his actual ability. It seemed to me that last season, when Williams actually let the corners play man coverage, Rogers played pretty well. And he's also one of the better tackling corners in the league; a trait that the coaching staff is very particular about.

Smoot on the other hand, is a horrible tackler. He does have a nose for the ball, but what makes anyone think that the adequite cover skills he had in his first stint in Washington, that have been almost completely absent for the last two season, will just magically come back?

This is pretty much dead on.

We know the guy can play the run among the best in the league. He's just got to show that he can cover with a degree of NFL competancy in his third year. If he can do this, he can be a very valuable 2nd CB for us for 10 years.

For the life of me I can't figure all the dump Carlos, trade Carlos, bench him? It's craziness.
