The other big thing about Rogers is his horrible ball skills, so he can't be a big play type of corner. I REALLY doubt there will be much of a market for him. He'll go somewhere next year but it won't be an impressive contract.

Totally agree w/ GTripp: Blache is a crap coach. There's no reason IMO he should still have a job because his group is definitely not playing up its potential and he's not returning anyway. Fire him and give the best position coach a shot to see what we might have going for next year.

Well then please explain why our D is 1st against the pass

Great post. Losing the way have this season can create a mob mentality against certain players. Last week it was Landry, this week it is Rogers. It is so easy to hate your DB's. When they make a mistake the results is usually a TD or something costly. All DB's will eventually get beat. There is no such thing a "shut down corner". It is impossible.
Not to say that some of the complaints on Rogers like attitude, no hands and not living up to expectations are legitimate. These things are true to varying degrees. But he is a very serviceable corner and while he drops many potential interceptions and gets beat on occasion, the guy is a better than average corner. I think the anger and hate on this thread is a bit over the top.
I hate to see another hole created in our lineup that will need to be filled, just because he is unpopular. He have other needs, lets not create another.

Bulger, Stafford, Johnson, Delhomme, and Cassel. Did I miss anyone?

Actually, you could add Orton to that list of craptacular QBs, but he threw for so many yards that we're actually not first, second, or third against the pass anymore. Actually, it turns out that we don't even bother to cover receivers going down the field anymore.

I think this point has been lost on a lot of us, we had such a cupcake schedule. Such a waste...
