Nate Clements hit, check it out

They have three big hits on that clip for the entire team and season? WOW! We had more hard hits on that one punt return where we leveled 2 or 3 guys coming across the field after El.

hey big hit or not, hes a HUGE upgrade to springs and rogers

Clements is healthier than Springs and brings more experience than Rogers, but huge upgrade? Check last year's performance:

Clements
Tackles - 80
INTs - 3
Passs Defended - 16

Rogers
Tackles - 79
INTs - 1
Passes Defended - 16

Rogers game improved late in the season, so we could see a bump in his performance this year. Springs hasn't completed a 16 game season since 2000. I have a feeling the starting CB line-up will be Clements and Rogers.

That's IF we land him. I don't think he's worth Adam Archuleta $$$. The Skins have about $4.5 million in cap dollars. The Bills and Detroit, who also has man love for Clements (and who told CB Dre' Bly to go away) each have $30 million+ cap room. They each could outbid the Redskins if they want. Of course, our guys have been very clever with contracts.

Could turn out that Clements signs with Detroit and Bly cascades to us.

This stat is misleading because it does not show the amount of yards given up on average when throw in the direction of. I suspect that is much higher for Rogers than Clements.

i'd guarantee that. times burnt isn't a kept stat, but rogers was a league leader, i'm sure.

you love your stats, maybe you just came up with a new one. because i agree with you, rogers was just pure toast for a good part of last season

I bet Rogers droped more balls than Clements.

the losman hit on zack thomas later in that clip was more impressive....

I agree. I'm surprised I never saw that during the season. Any block from a QB on a MLB is exceptional -- especially when it's a pancake.

I have yet to see Rogers make a big hit -- maybe I've missed it, can you tell me what game, what player he jacked up?

As far as Clements goes, he's one of the top available cornerbacks in free agency, and he's far and away better than anyone we have now. There should be little doubt that he'd make our secondary better. No, he's probably not on the level of Champ, but not many are, and we won't have the chance at a player like that anyway.

That might be why you see a lot of people are high on him. After a year like 2006, we salivate for the above-average around here.


he was on jacked up in 05 against the cardinals for his hit on anquian bolden

Rogers is always jacking people up. A lot of people agree on this and I believe it's true: he is one of the best "tacklers" in the league at corner.

People are always on his ass because they parrot what they read. He had two "bad" games, really only one if you throw out the Joey Galloway touchdown.
