RI: Rogers doesn't know how long benching will last..

Redskins Insider - How long will Rogers' benching last?

Ok, full disclosure, I don't like Carlos Rogers. Never have, never will. I think he's got the attitude of a Hall of Famer and the talent of a journeyman. That out of the way, I wasn't surprised that he got benched after giving up yet ANOTHER long TD when he bit on a double move and quit on the play. After the best win of they season, here are some of his comments..

"It's nothing new to me," Rogers said. "Anything that happens around here ain't nothing new to me. I went through it last year. I was benched after the first half of the season I had. ... "I didn't really worry about it, and I'm not really going to think about it. I ain't even going to think about no future here."

I'll be glad to see him gone after this season.

Did he attend the "Emmit Smith Learn Speak English Academy"? Heck, I'd say Emmit sounds like he has PHD when compared to Los.

Yep, likely not to be here. Hell his play this year hasn't excited me, but we'll be worse without him.

Cry me a river Los....Im a Los supporter and think he decent cover guy and showed that the previous 2 seasons, but this season he hasnt been good. Your only as good as your last game, well your last play..right? His comment :"I ain't even going to think about no future here" We should be able to find a guy to replace him.... Bye Bye Carlos...Tell Portis and JC to save him a seat on the bus out of Washington in the offseason

He was as good as gone earlier in the season when he talked shit on the FO. You knew he was accepting his pink slip then. I wouldn't wanna put Rogers out on the field for the remainder of the year, honestly.

He's ok (very okay. What good is a CB that can bat down passes but can't catch for shit?), but he doesn't have the team's best intentions at heart anymore. All he wants now is to get the eff out of DC ASAP.

Why wait until the offseason? I say Keyshawn him. Zorn can show that this is still his team for now and suspend him for "conduct detrimental" thanks to these comments.

Fuck Carlos Rogers and his Auburn teamate JC!!! Atleast JC never quits but they both suck ass and are BIG problems on our D AND O!!!

Blache probably made the right move to sit him down, because his level of play on that first drive was not acceptable. First, good tape study from McDaniels and Co. to know that Rogers will bite on deep comeback action. Marshall probably still has his jock.

Of course, the troubling aspect is that you know if Hall had made the same mistake, Blache would have excused it as a bad call, and just generally enabled his bullshit. There's a standard that Blache has for Hall and Landry, and then there's the standard for everyone else. Scheming aside, that's why Blache is a bad coach.

Rogers strikes me as somethin as a headcase, though one could argue the way he's been coached could be the reason I guess. That said he's not a shutdown corner against the top WR in football, which sucks because it we don't have anyone else to fill that role either. The other big thing about Rogers is his horrible ball skills, so he can't be a big play type of corner. I REALLY doubt there will be much of a market for him. He'll go somewhere next year but it won't be an impressive contract.

Totally agree w/ GTripp: Blache is a crap coach. There's no reason IMO he should still have a job because his group is definitely not playing up its potential and he's not returning anyway. Fire him and give the best position coach a shot to see what we might have going for next year.

[GTripp0012]

Just to point out, the most benchable offense (defined as the event that would have been more decisively corrected by a benching) was Hall's completely inexcusable lateral after his pick. Very nearly handed the Broncos the ball inside our red zone and for no damn good reason at all.

What happens? Nothing. This is the kind of crap that Redskins football is right now.

[rbanerjee23]

wow screw this guy...learn to speak english and freaking play football, what a joke

[Paintrain]

Why am I not surprised that GTripp flipped this as a way to criticize Hall? Lol..

[budw38]

So my fellow Warpath members you do not think we will re-sign him and make him our # 1 WR in 2010 We won today .... where are the cowboys fans tonight ... trying to crawl under a rock ?

Well, I thought you covered the "Rogers sucks" angle about as thoroughly as necessary.

If your point was that Rogers is a dumbass though, I was just pointing out that by no means is he the trendsetter in the secondary. I can't stand that our coordinator is neither process nor results oriented, but more concerned about making sure some players get breaks while others get punished. That, at least, has little to do with either Rogers or Hall.

[GTripp0012]

Keep in mind: when Hall is beaten badly one on one vs a TE on the Giants with safety help over the top, it's a bad scheme. When Rogers is beaten one on one by the No. 1 WR for the Denver Broncos on a double move with no safety help, it's classic underachieving.

Noted: that you can't expect to play winning defense without taking risks that require Rogers to look competent in these situations. Rogers got pwned. A good coordinator might chew him out on the sideline, but would certainly take the blame for the call post game. Blache is no one's image of a good coordinator. Just another guy on this team collecting a paycheck.
