Yes, I know we are all upset and bitter about a multitude of things after yesterday's lost.
But I felt one bright spot yesterday was the play of Carlos Rogers. Although he has a ways to go, I think we have nothing to lose by starting him for the remainder of the season.
Unlike Walt Harris has been, Rogers was in position more than a few times yestrday to make plays and his run support was very decent. I think his development is very encouraging for a defense that may face yet another off-season of transition.
It's really mind boggling to think that our first interceptions by our corners came in week 11.

He almost beat LT in a footrace, that says something too.

harris is a great nickel corner, and I think he'll start shining again against slot guys. He just gets exposed on the outside, and his tackling needs some work. Rogers did impress me yesterday being in position to make plays and getting there on the run support.

Carlos Rogers will start next week. He took over as the #2 CB at one point during the game, and will ride it out. Harris is a good nickel cover guy, just not dependable to be a go-to guy. This is crucial, considering the speed of the receivers in the next 2 games (Rams, Cardinals).

Rogers played a good game and it did appear he took over the #2 spot towards the end of the game... Its funny how fast things change. I remember Threads last week proclaiming him a BUST....

Man, he was all over the field. He looked like a different guy, like someone playing with some confidence.

I think Rogers will begin to settle in and show us good things. Hopefully he'll help the run defense down the road as well.
Seems like he's pretty good getting accross the line of scrimage and forcing plays. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I can deal with losses and I'm with this team until I'm dead and buried. What frustrates me more than anything else are calls for half our roster to be overturned, Gibbs to be shot, or anything else that sounds like Madden/fantasy team owner talk.

I agree with you on that one. As frustrated as I am, I'm still convinced we have a solid team that tends to lose it's bearing at the end of games. We will rebound, but I don't think wholesale changes are the remedy.
I could see if we're talking about our neighbors 30 minutes up the road!!!
