However, if we can draft a young one who could be elite, we'd be damned not to try and take that chance.
If you aren't satifsfied with shutdown, how about "complete". Springs was the last corner who could actually both cover and get some interceptions. Well, Rogers played lights out in 2008, but has NEVER returned to that form even though he still can cover. He gives giant ass cushions that lets opponents move the chains and either makes winning more difficult or help cause a loss with his dropped picks. Reeks of mediocrity or just a bit above mediocre.
Hall, is the riverboat gambler. He punishes shit qbs, but decent qbs and better have a field day with him more often than not. You know he's going to win a few times, but you also know that he's going to "lose" a few. He gave the Cowboys three points, which proved to be the difference. Just like Rogers, being slightly above mediocre is not enough.
Rogers is more than likely going to enter the "depreciation phase" once he hits 33, which is very soon. Hall can't carry the load now and is going to be roasted more and more once his athleticism starts going bye-bye.

Exactly, that is why i don't think bringing back Bailey is not the answer. P. Buc and Rogers are the same age. I think P. Buc has played better overall football then Rogers has this year. I also like Barnes, and I think he could be a starter for us in the future. That's not coming from just last game. I think he's above average when it comes to his man coverage skills, and that's something that Hall, and Rogers both lack imo.
Hall may of given Dallas 3 points last game, but he also gave us 6 the first time we met, and the reason for our win agaisnt Dallas, and not to mention Chicago. I will always take the good with the bad.
I have a feeling Rogers is going to want big $ to come back to Washington. He's already stated in the past he doesn't enjoy it here at times. I wouldn't be suprised to see P.Buc, and Hall as our starters next year or even Hall, and Barnes.
