For all you D Hall lovers

[The Goat]

Who or what is the source of the rumor that Rogers wants out of DC? I haven't heard anything before this thread, although it's been in the back of my mind that he might want to go play for Williams.

Rogers himself was the source, about three days after the season, when emotions were running high.

He never said he wanted out though, he was complaining (correctly) about not being a starter, and that it was disrespectful to his skills and that they might want to consider letting him play elsewhere.

Now I remember but at the time didn't take it all that literally. I think he needs to be reassured like ya'll suggested. The strain or tension between he and Blache, or i guess Gray could be involved too, has to be remedied and it's Blache's responsibility IMO. There's something amiss here with this little drama scene and it's frustrating to not be in the know.

Wasn't Rogers originally sidelined for some kind of prolonged flu or something like that. Then Hall was brought in and played out the season. Maybe that's all there is to it. Hopefully Hall and Rogers are both starters for the Skins. Were going to find out soon enough.

I remember the flu as an earlier issue 44 but even later Blache had Smoot playing over Rogers. I honestly can't think of one thing Smoot does better than Rogers on the football field... i bet off the field Smoot can drink him under the table though LOL

In one of the later games of the year, I remember Los getting beat on a pass at the end of the game and then complaining that the offense knew what the defense was doing. I remember turning to my girlfriend and saying " Oh S**T! That was directed right at Blache". I'm surprised no one else seems to remember this but things started going downhill for Los right after that.

I seem to remember that play coming in the loss to Cinci... Los looked pretty bad and I wondered if he was already "underperforming" cuz of internal stuff.

He and Blache need to bury this hatchet if Los is staying in DC. One nice part about the B & G is that we don't have to deal much w/ the drama bullsh*t.

Yeah he looked real bad. I agree. If that was what this is all about they need to get over this crap.

Donta and Hayden got signed. Looks like the market for Hall is getting better for him and worse for us.

The raiders are also about to tag asimoghua or whatever his name is... hall is now the #1 FA CB on the market. Skins would have been wise to sign him when he was cheap. he'll very likely cost several more M in garaunteed money now. i predict whoever signs him is going to pay him 7-8M/year.

I hate to say this, but with the way the DB FA market is right now, it seems like we're going to have either Hall or Rogers, but not both. I'm sure regardless of what happens, ppl are going to complain about any decision made by the team on this matter.

I don't see why we can't have both in '09. We can wait for Rogers until next year. If he demands a trade then we (might) have to think about moving him but our main goal is to re-sign Hall.

Apparently the Raiders might be backing out of tagging Asomugha, could be that they're close to a long-term deal. Who knows when it comes to the Raiders.

I think the Texans have tagged Dunta Robinson, if I heard right
