Possible Reason for Carlos's Problems?

How about some guys just have bad hands??

Bingo.

I want to believe bmitch. I mean in the Houston game didnt it hit him in the head? You just dont miss like that.

The pick last night was stupid easy. Wasn't any zip, he had the perfect read, right in his hands as he was in stride.

I think the depth perception thing is reading too far into it. NFL players are required to pass all sorts of medical testing, and I'm sure vision is one of them. If he does have vision issues, I'm sure we would have heard about it one way or another by now. Either he would have used it as an excuse for dropping all those picks, or the team would have leaked it as an excuse not to pay him big $.

He can cover pretty well, but the ball just bounces off his hands. He doesn't show any other issues on the field that would be symptomatic of depth perception problems. I think he just has iron thumbs.

Regardless, I'm certainly not going to be amongst the folks that continue to make excuses for him. Imagine if he would've hung on to even half of the picks that hit him in the hands? Dude would have his big contract and probably a pro-bowl or two in his pocket, not to mention we would have likely beaten the Seahawks in the playoffs that year...

Darrell Green didn't have great hands either. He wasn't as bad as Rogers, but some guys simply can't catch well.

I was about to say. While people are trying to come up with detailed multi-layered armchair diagnosis, the fact of the matter is the guy isn't good at catching.

For Rogers, 1 out of 7 is incredibly generous, and even those that he does catch are either balls that were tipped up or his own bobbles. I can't remember the last INT that Rogers caught cleanly. Easily the worst hands I've ever seen for a CB, which is saying something.

The Lions game in 07'

He just can't catch plain and simple.

You guys don't know yet,but everything is just being set up for a Carlos Rogers Super Bowl INT return for a TD.

Down 31-26 with 5:00 to go...
Sanchez drops back to hit Edwards and BOOM! Rogers steps in front and takes it to the house....lol

He reminds me of that dude in that Gene Hackman football movie...
That WR they had to put super glue on his hands...super fast,but couldn't catch...lol

"Coach...I can't wear this...it looks like I jacked off an elephant"
lololbwahahaha

What ever the reason it has to be as frustrating to him as it is to the fans. The biggest problem is when its one that could put away a game and he can't pull in the ball.

if he had great hands he would be on the offense. i would like the turnovers but if he can keep knocking the ball down then good for us. however if you get hit in the hands with the ball.... come on, catch it.

aceinthehouse, 14-2....? ill take anything over .500 this year. we have alot of improving to do, not to mention one tough schedule. oct. 10, Green Bay oct. 17, Indianapolis oct. 24, Chicago. detroit TEN JAC and TB, kinda easy if we dont look over them, dallas and philli again and the giants twice still.
