Smoot lays the Smackdown (Redskins vs. Bucs)

Henry, of course, used to play for Sherman Smith so I'm sure that played a big part in him getting a workout

What was the dude that used to play for the Broncos that got kicked out of the league. Can't think of his name. I think it was Travis Henry. Got them confused for a second. Saw the pic and was like nevermind.. lol

Chris Henry isn't that impressive.

From his Wiki page:

[edit] Tennessee Titans

Henry was selected in the second round (50th overall pick) of the 2007 NFL draft by the Tennessee Titans. On November 3, 2007, Henry received a four game suspension from the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Henry reportedly tested positive for a banned prescription medication that is not performance-enhancing.[1] He finished his rookie season rushing for 119 yards on 31 carries and two touchdowns in seven games.
During his second season Henry played in only one game and got only one carry for three yards.
Henry was released by the Titans on September 29, 2009.

Hasn't Chris Henry had serious injury problems? I could've swore he was oft-injured while in Tennessee.

It's heart breaking to think that Rogers could be a pro bowl corner if he could catch, Unfortunately he couldn't catch herpes from a Tijuana hooker.

The Skins better not give this guy big money to stay next year (I really don't think they will). He's had so many opportunities for big game changing type plays, and he just fails to make them time after time.

Sure, I'd rather he catch more potential INTs but his coverage and tackling is typically pretty good. If we let him go, I think it's a typical move where we could sign him to a decent contract but instead let him walk and either waste another top pick on a DB or HOPE and pray that Barnes and Tryon are ready.

I agree that Rogers is a very solid cb. Don't know why he faltered last year or fell out of favor w/Blache. Even when he's been beaten this year he was in position but just couldn't make a play on the ball (the johnson td in detroit e.g.).

I think they may have a problem on getting his agent to agree to much less $ than Hall is getting. I don't see how they could keep both at huge salaries.

See here is my thing w/ Rogers. Everyone jumps on him for dropping balls but would you rather him constantly get burned? I'd rather him hold his man down. That's what corners are suppose to do and he is probably our best cover corner.

Just saying he's not worth a big $$ investment.

Rogers has had opportunities to turn games around and create wins. If he could catch the ball better than a 6 yr. old girl with any kind of consistency at all, he would be one of the best in the league. As it is, he is still a good cover corner. If anything, he has stopped himself from being considered elite and cost himself a fair amount of money. It's not his fault that some games were lost, but the ending could have been different had he held on to the ball. For as many balls as he's dropped, he was also in the right place to break up the pass. Just wish the dude could catch.

I think teams actually look to go at him because they know he cant catch and therefore a mistake wont result in an INT.

This would be fine on a team that expects the defense to be just average (teams that have strength in other areas). However, our defense is supposed to be one of the best and is supposed to be one of our "playmaker" units. And in situations like this, the defense is expected to make a play and come up with the pick. I'm not going to say that Rogers' drops have cost us games or anything (that'd be stupid to say), however, his drops are one of many signs that we do not have an elite defense like Baltimore, Minnesota, or Pittsburgh (with Polamalu)

[freddyg12]

remember that pick 6 he got on detroit 2 years ago? He read that thing & made a perfect catch in stride. On the other hand, he's read plays before (pitt last year) & dropped it.

It seems like he really can't catch the ones that he's surprised by that land right on the #s.

One pick changes everything for Los.
