Bench Rogers

No, leave his ass in to LEARN to play in the NFL. Given that the season is over anyway, why not? ANd I agree that it's not his call about the cushion. That happens becuase we get beat several times a game for HUGE plays. And we have no pass rush, so we can't risk having those guys up on the line. QBs just have WAY too much time. ANd it was Taylor, not Carlos, who got toasted on that double move. Carlos had a few good deep covers (one on Stalworth in the corner of the endzone), and a few good hits. The trouble was his cushion, and that, I am sure, is part of the scheme designed (unsuccessfully) to take away the deep stuff.

They have no talent at corner, and Shawn Taylor played like shit. He has played bad all year long, along with Rogers, wright, Rumph, and Archuleta.

SPirngs isn't bad and Carlos is learning. Taylor had a tough game. But we have NO pass rush at all. Any secondary is going to look bad without a pass rush. Not to mention that Cinncy, for example, gave up what, 50 points?

Play better with what ya got. Except at QB, where it is ovbvious that we get nothing at all from MB.

Who would you rather play? Wright? Jimoh? Rumph? Carlos "the Cushion" Rogers is bad, but we don't have a better alternative.

How about Taylor? Taylor is living off of reputation right now, he's looked awful in coverage and racks up more penalties than anyone else.


I agree with you. Who in the hell is going to replace him? Frickin Jimoh or Wright? Give me a break. Those two can't cover my mother. And I'm not even going to mention Rumph. He's still picking up his jock from the Indy game. And they should think about putting Taylor at linebacker. He plays better around the line of scrimmage anyway.

This thread is pointless.

Rogers stays in. In my opinion, he's arguably our best corner right now. Please don't tell me this shit about Shawn Springs, he's been getting toasted too.

I think our biggest loss in the secondary this year was letting Dwayne Walker go...and bringing in Jerry Gray. I don't think we have any ints as a secondary this year. Sean Taylor had like 4 interceptions a year ago. Rogers giving those cushions is more a function of what he's being told to do, and not reflective of his skills.

Is Jerry Gray drunk? How the hell can they blitz with CB's playin that far off?

If you watch closely, Springs is giving a big cushion also, but not as big as Rogers. Rogers really looks afraid of being beat deep. What really got to me was that the Eagles were playing tight on 3rd down and never got beat because of it... at least not more than we did by giving the "free first down " cushions we were giving.

I didn't realize Gray is now calling the D
I wasn't saying Jerry Gray was calling the defense. I was commenting on the technique Rogers was using which I thought was taught by Gray. Maybe I'm wrong.
