Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

I'm still amazed over that one, he also broke up the potential TD at the end of the game to seal the victory. Big props to Los for playing a great game, and for finally snagging an INT! Let's hope it's a sign of things to come from him.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

Ray Charles could have made that catch, it hit him in the hands and he still almost blew it.

While he had a good game, he's by no means out of the dog house.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

this morning on sports talk 980 they said that Carlos Rodgers initially refused to comment to the media about his game, probably because of the article the Post wrote about him last week. In fact, apparently the whole secondary made an agreement to not talk to the media cause they were upset about the way they had been knocked all season. They eventually caved in and spoke, but I thought that move was kinda immature. Rodgers had played bad all season, the Post wrote an article that could have been interpreted to put Rodgers in a bad light, but as NFL player you gotta be able to handle criticism. I really hope Carlos Rodgers can stop being this sensitive because it could cause problems down the line if he can't take some negative feedback. Imagine if he played in New York or Philly. It kinda reminds me of like a fight between middle school girls, you said something bad about me, so I'm not going to talk to you anymore.

I can't really blame him for not wanting to talk to the media. I doubt I would if I was in their position. The media will try their hardest to twist and stretch every word that comes out of your mouth to make headlines.

right, but being part of a professional athlete is learning to deal with the media. you can't just say I'm not gonna talk to you unless you're gonna write something good about me.

I don't think he ever said that. ;)

Also, dealing with the media is not a part of the job description of Professional Athlete.

Sure you can, you can do whatever you want. There are no NFL or team rules saying that players have to speak to the media. If they want to live in obscurity they are free to do so.

It's the media's job to talk to players, but that doesn't mean they have to cooperate.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

Finally 10-90 caught a ball thrown directly to him! I wonder if dropping a sure INT-TD in the Seattle game last year has flashed in his head each time a pass is headed his way, he showed good hands until then.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

He made the catch, and he was good on the breakup at the end. It sure helps him to have Springs on the other side. The breakup by Springs was amazing.

Sometimes, it becomes totally mental--he just thinks himself into dropping them. And Marcus almost had one on a blitz that would have been 7. And didn't Kenny Wright miss one? Anywho, Rogers got it. Let's hope this turns things around!

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

It's pretty obvious that Carlos Rogers cannot catch a football. But to his defense, he has been in position to make these plays. This is something that he needs to work on the offseason.

You're right, those exact words did not come out of his mouth. But isn't it ironic that he chose not to speak to them after they wrote a negative article about him? I just think it shows immaturity to not talk to them becuase they wrote something negative about him after he played bad. He's been talking to the media all season and now he doesn't want to because they wrote the truth about how he's had a bad season in the paper. If he chose to never talk to the media, like Taylor, that's fine, but it sounds like he's throwing a hissy fit because of the article they wrote talking about how he thinks he coulda been a pro bowler if he caught those INTs. And I TOTALLY disagree with you that dealing with the media is not part of the job desrciption of being a professional athlete. How could you say that? They are constatly surrounded by the media and if they do not deal with them in the correct manner it can hurt their relationships with the fans, coaches, their team, and their own career. Look how the Giants mouthing off to the media has torn their team apart, look how TO has used the media to make himself hated and tear the Eagles apart, look at how when players talk trash about another team or player to the media it gets that team fired up, dealing with the media is definitely in the "job description." And if dealing with them is just not talking to them ever, like some do, that's fine. But, I don't think it is smart, classy, or professional to blow them off when they write the truth about you and you don't like it.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

Who cares if he talks or not or what his motives are.

The NFL world could use a lot less talk if you ask me.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

i guess it doesn't really matter, I just thought it was immature, under the circumstances in which he all of a sudden decided to stop talking to them, that's all.

WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE MEDIA?? THEY SUCK AND JUST RIDE ANY BAND-WAGON-FLAVOR OF THE MONTH TOPIC AND TEAM.

HE CAUGHT THE BALL AND WON THE GAME FOR US. THEY HAD NO REASON TO PLAY BUT FOR PRIDE. THAT IS WHAT JOE GIBBS IS ALL ABOUT.

THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS THE TEAM HAS HELD ITS COMPOSURE AND NOT THROW EACH OTHER UNDER THE BUS. THAT'S THE MEDIAS JOB.

I don't care if players talk or don't talk to the media, many times it's best that they keep thoughts to themselves. However if he keeps improving his play like he did yesterday the media will leave him alone etc.

I think the guy has a lot of potential, he alone is not the reason for the defensive woes, they played as a team yesterday and I hope everyone of the players will comeback to training camp mad and hungry with something to prove next year.

I hope that the front office makes sensible and smart choices next off-season in terms of personnel changes.

Don't worry about player comments to the media. Coaches comments are another story.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

he still got beat deep a couple of times. If this is his best game, we are in trouble.

I'm not [I]worrying[/I] about player comments to the media, but they definitely are important and they do have an affect on many things, including, as I stated before, relationships with fans, coaches, their team, front office and opposing teams. Examples players who have made comments to the media that have had a negactive impact on some of the relationships just mentioned include, Tiki Barber, Michael Strahan, Jeremy Shockey, TO, Randy Moss, Freddie Mitchel running has mouth to Rodney Harrison before the Super Bowl, etc. You don't think Lavar was a extra pumped up when Springs made the comment about how he didn't know the playbook?

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

Wasn't this around the time last year that Carlos finally got his first INT? Maybe it takes him until December of each season to realize he should catch a ball or two. I say that next season the whole stadium starts singing "Jingle Bells" during the opening game; maybe that will get him in the mood for some INTs.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

Hell, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then!

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

I think Rogers managed to make a case for him not being fired and shipped to the CFL after this season. He has yet to really prove he can handle being a #1 or #2 corner in this league, but this is a start.

He actually caught that INT the SECOND time - it bounced off his chest first and then fell into his hands, at which point he bobbled it for a while before deciding to really go ahead and make the catch.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

You guys layoff CR this is only his second year. By his 4th year he will be one of the best in the league.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

We'd be in great shape with Carlos Rogers as the nickel corner.

That's why I maintain the Redskins are probably 2 years minimum away from having a top ten defense again. We need to do what the Eagles did in 2002 when they needed secondary help (not to mention Spurrier was coming to town with his Fun n' Gun) -- they drafted Lito Sheppard in the 1st round, then took Michael Lewis and Sheldon Brown with their two #2 picks -- all DBs.

Unfortunately, we don't have that compliment of draft picks. Again, we're 2+ years from having a formidable D.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

Los needs to stop playing so far back on the receivers 95% of the time. He needs to be more physical on those receivers coming off of the line of scrimage. Also, he needs to play more catch on the side lines. Hey, ask Brunell to throw you some balls, he's not doing too much these days.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

Still not impressed...I want his ass out of here ASAP!

You cant be physical on recievers if there is no pass rush becuase then with time they will burn you on the big plays. The pass rush was good agains NO which helped account for good play and less recievers getting open.

Re: Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!
 

He needs to close out the season well, and then really work on his game in the off season. He's got the tools, just needs to work harder, improve his attitude.

You need to look up information before you post like its a fact. Here is Rogers # from the play by play and passes he gave up: 10, 16, 8, 6, so he gave up a total of 40 yards all game so I would not call those giving up big plays.
