My favorite Rodgers interview was the one after the Tampa Bay game, when they asked him about the play where Joey Galloway burned him on that slant for a touchdown. This is not verbatim, but he said something like, what did you expect? They ran a play action and I had single coverage against "the fastest guy in the NFL," what was I supposed to do? At this point, my opinion about him kinda changed, who says something like that? Ha, even Carlos admits he can't cover people when he doesn't have help. You're a professional, Carlos, man up and make a freakin play boy.
Please, explain to me WHAT Rogers could have done on that play. There's nothing you can do in single coverage vs a slant, especially someone with that type of speed. I remember talking to gmanc during the game, we both agreed that Rogers wasn't put in a position to make a play. That's nearly an impossible play for a DB to make.

Maybe this is why the Redskins don't draft. One of the hardest positions in the NFL to play, and our top pick of only two years ago, should be playing like an all-pro? It takes time to learn, get used to the NFL, etc. We need to give our draft picks time to adjust and learn how to play, and I think Rogers will be our #1 corner in a few years and will be great.

Rogers is a very solid player and will only get better. We all talked about Jason Campbells rookie mistakes, why isn't Rogers who was drafted in the same year allowed to have them.

No pass rush, very little help from the safeties and even the other corner. Put this guy in a position to break up plays, etc and he'll get them. Answer me this: what other DB even got in position to make INTs this year. The answer is none.
