Smoot tends to be a bit of an overachiever in my opinion. There's no shame in being a nickelback in the NFL, but that's probably the best he can hope to be. Rogers on the other hand. I don't know, maybe it's just wishful thinking but he could be one of the league's best if he just held on to the damn ball.
Yeah some more INTs would be nice, but at the same time if all we get from Rogers is tight coverage and pass defenses, that's not a bad thing either. Darrell Green dropped his fair share and he turned out alright.

Carlos doesn't have bad hands. He leads the team in pass deflections every year! :rofl:

I thought Smoot dropped one in the end Zone as well in like the second quarter. I know we dropped at least 3 and it was not all Carlos, although he probably does have the worst hands on the team.

Was it last year or the year before where we ended up with 3 picks in a game but could have had atleast 6 or 7? And of those drops, a few of them made it look like the DB was the receiver.

Of greater importance in the INT he dropped in the end zone against the Giants last week.
He drops some balls but that was not one of them. He turned a flung out his arm and hit the ball he was not in postion to make the int.

On a positive note, I'm just glad we have something Rogers-related to talk about this early in the season other than his knee injury. If he wasn't ready last week AND Springs couldn't go, that 16-7 score might have looked quite a bit worse.

I still haven't forgiven him for that sure TD against the Seahawks in the playoffs. Could have been the differnce maker. Has not shown any improvement.

I wonder if they have these guys work with the WR's coach and have them catch some balls in prctice.

Williams brought Rogers in to be a physical corner. The downside is that his hands are wretched.
...You can't have it all, at least not with Rogers.
