C. Rogers Bad Hands

Seriously... Smoot gives a ridiculous cushion to every receiver on the field. The only reason he even registered an INT last week is because he was five yards away from any Giants receiver, and Eli made a terrible throw.

Oh, and Rogers brings the wood, while Smoot gets hurt making tackles...

i remember watching smoot try to handle punts in training camp a few years back... he dropped about half of them, so it's not like he has the world's best hands either.

On a positive note, I'm just glad we have something Rogers-related to talk about this early in the season other than his knee injury. If he wasn't ready last week AND Springs couldn't go, that 16-7 score might have looked quite a bit worse.

Rogers gets in position for interceptions which is more than I can say for much of our secondary. Id rather have picks too, but as far as Im concerned if he's batting down balls on the regular he's doing a good job.

this is a great short article on who can catch the ball better (Smoot or Rogers). The inserted you tube video had me in tears.

You cannot compare Fred Smoot's hands to Carlos Rogers' hands - Hogs Haven

They do have a common bond........neither one can catch or cover very well. Every passing play it seemed like Smoot was a good 4-5 steps away from the receiver. Actually almost every pass seemed to go in his direction.

I thought Smoot dropped one in the end Zone as well in like the second quarter. I know we dropped at least 3 and it was not all Carlos, although he probably does have the worst hands on the team.

Rogers at least appears to be improving while Smoot is clearly regressing. I don't think he's starting quality anymore at all. The quicker we can move him back to the nickel the better.

[SmootSmack]

Smoot tends to be a bit of an overachiever in my opinion. There's no shame in being a nickelback in the NFL, but that's probably the best he can hope to be. Rogers on the other hand. I don't know, maybe it's just wishful thinking but he could be one of the league's best if he just held on to the damn ball.

Yeah some more INTs would be nice, but at the same time if all we get from Rogers is tight coverage and pass defenses, that's not a bad thing either. Darrell Green dropped his fair share and he turned out alright.

Was it last year or the year before where we ended up with 3 picks in a game but could have had atleast 6 or 7? And of those drops, a few of them made it look like the DB was the receiver.

Are you thinking of the Packer game? Sean Taylor had two, but could have had four on his own. It was a rainy day though.......

[Monkeydad]

Carlos doesn't have bad hands. He leads the team in pass deflections every year!

[cochise]

I still haven't forgiven him for that sure TD against the Seahawks in the playoffs. Could have been the differnce maker. Has not shown any improvement.

I wonder if they have these guys work with the WR's coach and have them catch some balls in prctice.
