Carlos Rogers Article

I hope we can get Nate Clements in the offseason. I also hope we get Gaines Adams in the draft. I think the defense is the only thing lacking right now. The offense is looking better all the time, Campbell just needs to avoid those costly interceptions. Rogers appears to be a guy headed for a backup spot, at best, but he does have some talent.

I'm not so worried about Carlos. I think this is the kind of year he won't ever want to repeat and remember his position is one of the hardest jobs in pro sports. One big problem is that he can't catch, but I really think he has the talent to be a number one CB. Now that I think about it he is a total spaz, but it seems like the whole team is on drugs or something so I hope after the offseason rehab he will get it right.

Any else pissed off at Carlos Rogers after reading the article?

Here are somethings that pissed me off:

* He thinks if he'd actually caught the ball, he'd be in the probowl. What about all those WR's running by him every week?

* Carolina was your bestgame because you had to cover the elderly Keyshawn Johnson all day. There was one pass defence against Smith, Springs had him the rest of the way.

* He actually says that if the passrush was better, He'd play better. It is true, But you dont call out your teammates to justify your bad play.

* Vincent and Springs Imply that he doesn't listen. I guess he really thinks he's playing great...

* he is a 25 year old second year player? Jesus, he was ALMOST in college as long as I was.

Get it together!!!

He's delusional and self absorbed. the only thing i agree with is that he can't catch the ball. If he were ANYONE else- ie not a 9th overall pick, he'd have been benched. I'm not saying he can't be good, but his attitude needs an adjustment- ie don't blame others. Even springs calls him out for not being aggressive enough in soliciting advice from savvy vets- translation, he's not actively trying to get better, he just sees himself as a pro bowl caliber player who doesn't need help. I've been hyper critical of him because he's not a good player right now, yet he consistently displays the brazen cockiness usually reserved for players who's name rhyme with schmion. He's had 1 good game, yet thinks he's the second coming...
doesn't he know that role has been filled by the more suitable JC?

Said it before more than once, and I'll say it again - FIRE HIM!!!!!!!!!

I'm really not sure how to take this article...I think the negative tone of some of the comments and the article as a whole could easily be the result of the writer wanting them to sound that way, rather than Carlos sounding smug or his teammates sounding critical. His comment about the D-line is a perfect example. No one can deny that they need to perform better, and I think he was trying to say that its not just him...the Defense as a whole needs to step up. Obviously Carlos is having a down season and needs to start catching some of those int's, but I think I'll give him a few more years.

A few more years? A few means 3...no one gets 5 years to make it in the NFL anymore...if he stinks again next year he may get the door or at least a spot on the bench.

This article merely reinforced what he said after last week's game about R. Brown burning him - "he gave me a double move. nothing I can do about that."
"nothing!"
Someone said he's "overconfident." I'd say the opposite, I think this year he's played w/fear & is embarrassed, so he says stupid things after the game. Maybe it scared him to look to the other side & see K. Wright early in the year & think to himself - "wow, I've really got to cover their best guy!" Notice how well he played against Carolina - most of the game Springs matched up on Smith.
Why has he played 10 yards off all the wr's all year? He lets guys get off the line & into their route.

As the OBC used to say, "We gotta coach em up."

Yeah, I don't understand why he plays so far off the ball either. Is he supposed to play closer but doesn't? Or does Williams tell him to play that far off?

somebody on here said that it's his choice, but that doesn't sound like something GW would let him decide. It would be 1 thing if he played like that & didn't get beat deep, but he does get beat deep!
