Problems with the Defense, IMHO

[Beemnseven]

You know, even with Griffin out, the run defense has been pretty stout the last three weeks.

As for Carlos Rogers, I won't call him a 'bust' either, but I must admit that I expected him to take over the starting corner position over Walt Harris at this point. I know every player is different, and the situations may not be the same, but Champ Bailey, Fred Smoot, and Sean Taylor all contributed more to the team in their rookie seasons than Carlos Rogers has so far.

If he's truly injured, that's one thing. But if by season's end he hasn't supplanted Walt Harris as the starting corner, I think it's perfectly fair to say that Rogers will have had a disappointing rookie season.
