Carlos Rogers Drops His Heart in San Francisco

[BringBackJoeT]

I'm disappointed to see him walk out the door with such bitterness, because I'm always going to have somewhat of a soft spot for most of the players on that 2005 roster, Carlos included, even if his most notable play that season was the dropped pick against the Seahawks. Getting six consecutive years of solid work from a player in one uniform isn't so common anymore, and for that reason my own appreciation for him grew each year. As I said, I'm sorry he was so pi**ed at the end of his stay. I also wish him well.

His best year of play was in 2008, which he HAD to put in the work due to rehab. His coverage has dropped from that level since then, and I would say is slightly above average.

And of course, he likes to make the team play with fire with his drops. And YES, we have been BURNED by some of those drops.

Seems to me Rodger didn't think the lack of interceptions was a big thing and didn't like the fact that he wasn't treated like a shut down corner by Washington. He just had a higher opinion of himself than anyone around the league did.

I think this was the right move unfortunately, it was at the wrong time...With Philip Buchanon out for the first 4 games, this poses a problem in our secondary. Truth be told, we may have won or at least contended if Carlos Rodgers didn't have butterfingers. He may have lead the NFL two out of the last three seasons in INT's.

Does anyone know why the Redskins are 30 million under the cap??? Seems trivial to me. I thought they would do better in free agency.

They may be looking at Kelvin Hayden, the CB from Indy.

And Tatupu, both scheduled to visit today. There's talent left on the market, the Redskins may not be finished just yet.

Carlos Rogers is not an elite coverage player, but he's just a rung below that level. He has long been a poor match-up against bigger, more physical players who can obstruct his path to the ball. Luckily, that kind of player tends not to get vertical very fast.

I really thought he was going to get a deal. There are tons of teams that were/now are in need of a corner, most notably Detroit, Oakland, Houston, Tennessee, Jacksonville, San Fransico, Seattle, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas and Arizona. Lots more could use him. I figured someone would bite.

This post answers the question for any Redskin fan who thinks Carlos Rogers is anything better than an average NFL starter.

An above average NFL corner on the open market always gets paid in todays NFL.

ALWAYS.

Dude got a one year four million dollar deal. That is AWFUL and this is the reality of how the entire league looks at him.

This is a good lesson for fans who wonder why the Redskins have been so freakin bad for so long. Our roster has been filled with average at best players that we somehow see as a step below elite.

Not saying I don't do it all the time as I tend to eat a ton of Redskins "Happy Place" pills and therefore I usually think we are going to win the Super Bowl every year.

he was a good cover corner for sure .. would have been a pro-bowler but has hands like a freaking brick you ALL know that .. just when he sucks you back in with his good play he would drop a ball right in his hands that could have WON games ... how about Dallas Week 1 last year, didn't he have a ball right off his hands before the holding call to Orakpo to seal it ???? Deangelo Hall MAKES PLAYS that's why he is elite, he may miss tackles and blow plays but he MAKES up for it by taking INT's to the house on a weekly basis ... Hall had a better game in Chicago then Rogers had in his career ... good bye Los .. your frustration has finally left the building ... with all the pressure Orakpo and Kerrigan will be bringing, Hall/Wilson/Landry each will have over 4 picks

The lack of desire for him to resign here had less to do with his playing abilities than it did his personality. His pipes spew venom, the team is being constructed with more and more young players who can very well do without that in their locker room.

Los will magically find a way to start catching passes this year. Such is the luck of the Redskins. In the meantime Beck or Grossman should plan to throw a lot of balls his way when we play him on November 6th.
