Los is showing us that he has the true cover skills to be a top flight cornerback. He is also one of the most physical tacklers and is probably the best at his posistion in run support.

Rocky is playing like a probowler at the WIL. Fletch is only gonna make him better.

You couldnt ask for more from two guys coming off such serious injuries.

Rogers was the N.E. game, not sure about RM.

carlos needs to continue his progression. Hes been impressive but he still needs to grow.
Rocky i am impressed with but i miss his intensity he used to have..the same can be said of marcus washington..our outside lbs need to be more agressive and dynamic

Carlos Rodgers and Rocky McIntosh have been performing well. Philly is a tough matchup. Carlos Rodgers is going to be asked to stay with DeSean Jackson. He really needs to win this battle for the Redskins to win this week. If Westbrook plays, Rocky will need to step up in coverage.

He didn't play all that much as a rookie behind Walt Harris, and in 2006 when everyone in the secondary was terrible, Rogers probably had the best season of any of them (although, what is that really saying?). The biggest jump, I believe, came from 2006 --> 2007, when Rogers beat out Shawn Springs and Fred Smoot for the No. 1 CB role on opening day. Gregg Williams doesn't just put [I]anyone[/I] back there at CB and hope for the best.

I think we all had tempered expectations this year following the injury, but it appears that the surgery went perfectly and that Rogers is going to be a shutdown corner in this league.

And if Rocky continues his development, Jason Campbell isn't the only guy who is going to need an extension this season.

Anyone notice one person in particular (an especially harsh critic) who hasn't yet responded to this thread? Just sayin'

you talking about hessy?

Re: Carlos Rogers and Rocky McIntosh Appreciation Thread
 
i applaud both of them for coming of the injuries they had to play in the form they are this season.
Its quite interesting and refreshing to see carlos play the way he has. Hopefully he can become our number 1 when springs is done whinning about his calf. (im sorry but he pisses me off lately despite his superb game against TO)
AS for rocky..maybe its the lavar lover in me...but i just wish i could see him destroy somebody everynow and then

Ok. It is time for me to pay the piper on this one. I am a loyal Redskins fan, who always hated on Carlos Rogers. I felt that we wasted that pick. I wanted us to trade up and get Pacman. (WHEW! That would have been a mistake) Anyway, I used to get on his case all the time and complain about his play and DROPPING THE FOOTBALL. I always wondered what the hell we were thinking drafting him in the first round like that.
Well, now I see it. He's physical up front against the run. He's athletic enough to turn and run with most guys and he's starting to look for the ball now. I always knew Rocky was a dog. I watched him at Miami and was boosted when a lot of us hated. He's mean and he reads offensive keys. Just hope them boys stay healthy, cause they're gonna be locking it down in DC for years to come!!!

Absolutely. The reason that we could play the umbrella D (outside of #21) was because of the outstanding corner play. I remember the Episode of "Playbook" on NFL network around week 3 of that season. They specifically showed plays where Los, Springs and Smoot were on guys like glue and therefore could allow our safties to play 20 yards off the line and roam the field. I really like Los because he's a physical corner with good speed which is huge in the NFL.

Just wanted to bump this thread after the Philly game. Both guys played great again--Carlos had some serious hits and Rocky was moving well again. And Carlos did it without Springs--very impressive. (He should have had a pick, but what the hey!)
