He has the speed and agility to cover them and perhaps steal a ball once and a while. When Rogers is blitzing have a safety cover over the top.

Yeah...I don't mind Rogers.

From what I remember he was selected by GWilliams to be a physical corner as was needed in his defensive scheme. Well he has the physical part down pat. The hit he put on TO during that quick post at FedEx this year proved that. He can make all the physical hits that a physical corner needs to do.

Now can he catch a football...HELL NO!...but there is a give and take when you deal with athlete's that don't have supernatural abilities to do both.

BTW...the cowboys have a rookie CB named Mike Jenkins. During Week 9 against the giants, Brandon Jacobs did a sweep to his side. Jenkins had a full shot at Jacobs and side stepped himself out of the play so he didn't have to do so. He looked back at his teammates to make the tackle and Jacobs ran another 10 yards for a TD.

Now...Mike Jenkins can probably catch footballs all day long but he sure is hell didn't want to catch Jacob's down low for an attempted tackle. Just because Los has a glaring weakness doesn't mean he doesn't have strengths. As long as his strengths fits into our defensive scheme then I'm all for him.
