Interesting Comments from Carlos Rogers

^ Interesting stuff Tryfuhl. The remark about Springs being Blache's boy rings true to the impression I have of him. Personally I'm glad Blache is gone. He was stuck in his system and it's time for change. I'd like someone who adjusts the system to the talent on the team and starts guys on merit, not favoritism.
Exactly; I've been hearing a lot of that lately too, coaches being faulted for this, on offense and defense both from football guys.

I thought that Rogers preferred man, but maybe not. Maybe it was just too much and he wanted better balance. Very interesting to hear him say we were blitzing a lot in man but getting no penetration.

GridIron, I know what you mean. You're all pumped and ready to go with no indication that you won't be starting and they don't tell you until the game is about to begin? Tell the guy earlier in the week and let him get it out of his system; there you've got him heated and confused right before the damn game.

That definitely sucks. :D

I thought Rogers liked man but I always thought he was more of a press man and it is hard to play with that physicality when you are off the WR by 10-15 yards ...

I also think it was interesting that up until the point at which Zorn was fired and Cerratto had gone Gray wanted out of the Redskins ... once they went he interviewed for DC . Coupled with those comments does make me think there were some major clashes behind closed doors .

Springs really must have had an in. He didn't even go to Georgia.

Which mean that Rogers/Smoot don't have any help, and that their first responsibility is to not get beat deep.

Theoretically, Landry should be the deepest man, but he was basically a non factor back there anyway. Rather than adjust and allow Rogers to play closer to the line of scrimmage by moving Landry, we just backed Landry deeper and had Rogers play Hall-style.

Which is why, in my estimation, his coverage numbers look like Hall's this year. Blache's pass defense: when in doubt, back up.

lol, before the play starts.................back up

Any word if we are going to tender Rogers?

After hearing Rogers comments, I'd say tender him 2nd and 3rd round tender , and attempt to trade him during the draft.....FA Duanta Robinson has been rumored to be on the radar for the Skins, Id rather shell out the money to pay him than to pay Rogers....
Robinson has 13 interceptions over his 6yrs in the league...even after missing 14 games due to injury

Any word if we are going to tender Rogers?

It's not really a question of if, so much as it is what?

Thanks for the insight on that.
