RI: Rogers doesn't know how long benching will last..

[cpayne5]

I don't get the Rogers hate. He's been one of the better cover corners the Skins have had in the past 10 years.

Everybody hates on the front office for not drafting well and letting good, young, homegrown talent leave, and now everybody is lining up to run him out of town. I find that odd, but fitting, I suppose, for the folks on this site.

It's fairly evident that he will be gone next year, and, as a fan, I find that disconcerting.

Well I can't speak for others but I did say I would like to see one of the others ie; Barnes, Tryon do well.

I don't have a problem with Carlos I just think he thinks more highly of himself then he's actually worth. He's not a shut down corner. In bumb and run I'll agree he is good, but god forbid he has to play 10-15 yrds off the WR....he sucks. He bites on the first move which was obvious in the TD today and has been mentioned that teams should exploit it. I think it was mentioned in the Bucs game by the announcers.

Who said anything about Laron Landry

Inactivate Rogers, or flat out cut him. Bring Barnes up and get him on the field.

That's what i was thinking. The redskins being 3-6 has it's benefits, we can get the younger players so playing time.

2005= Worst draft ever!

(Could have had S. Merriman & Aaron Rogers).

Have we been watching the same Rogers? Outside of last year's 1st half he's been average. I've seen him beaten many, many times in spots for big plays. I can think of 5 off the top of my head (Galloway for a long TD, Plexico for a long TD, last year vs. Cincy in a must win game, D. Jackson a couple weeks ago vs. Philly and today) and that's not even trying to think of any. The one way that a CB can offset that is by creating turnovers when they get the opportunities, which he has shown time and time again he is not capable of doing. Combine that with an awful attitude and for a Top 10 pick, I am surprised he doesn't get MORE heat.

** Edit ** I've been trying to think of who he reminds me of and it came to me, he's a defensive version of Rod Gardner. He's got all the tools, shows that he's got skills at times but kills you at big times. I remember on Hard Knocks with the Chiefs when Herm cut Gardner, he told him that his attitude and 'want to' have been questioned and while he's got talent, to make it as a successful NFL player he needed to get those things in check. Of course Gardner brushed him off and I see Rogers facing a similar path.

Nice post. I guess the only room for debate is whether Rogers actually has the tools to be elite. He simply can't catch, which means he doesn't create turnovers for your team. Maybe he could be a shutdown corner, though I highly doubt it cuz facing elite WRs Rogers typically gets owned at least one or two plays (that's not shutdown).
