hahaha Smoot really calls Rogers out

Watching the ball and not the man?

What a novel concept.

J-Dawg.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

It sounds like he's making a lot of excuses. Every cornerback has these same problems, but they actually catch the ball.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

At least everyone seems to have a sense of humor about it.

Rogers has never been shy about making excuses. I still remember when he got burned by Joey Galloway (who was I think 35 at the time) and he was like, man, you got me on an island with the fastest guy in the league man!! It ain't my fault!

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

Just like JC, its time for Rogers to step up- though I'll pleased with his progress coming off injury.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

Humorous article - especially Smooty. I'm pretty sure Smoot dropped an easy INT in preseason so he can't run his mouth too far.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

Hey, I always figured if they had good hands they would be recievers.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

Rogers wouldn't be any worse off than he is now if you replaced his hands with shoe horns. His excuse is totally lame. "I'm looking at my man, not the QB..." Okaaaay, well you should have started working a little more on your ball skills before your stone hands problem became an epidemic. If he could catch he'd have a great chance at pro-bowl status.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

Atleast Rogers can stick to his man. Screw the interceptions, if you can't cover they STFU(yes you Smoot).

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

i remember watching smoot try to handle punts in training camp a few years back... he dropped about half of them, so it's not like he has the world's best hands either.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

Rogers gets in position for interceptions which is more than I can say for much of our secondary. Id rather have picks too, but as far as Im concerned if he's batting down balls on the regular he's doing a good job.

Smoot vs. Rogers
 

this is a great short article on who can catch the ball better (Smoot or Rogers). The inserted you tube video had me in tears.

Of greater importance in the INT he dropped in the end zone against the Giants last week.

They do have a common bond........neither one can catch or cover very well. Every passing play it seemed like Smoot was a good 4-5 steps away from the receiver. Actually almost every pass seemed to go in his direction.

Rogers possibly has the worst ball skills of any CB in the league. In last years Week 3 game vs. the NYG, if he reacted to the ball, not the man on the Plax TD, it would have been AT WORST a bat down, if not a pick. He's pretty much just a mirror that tries to reflect what the WR is doing with no regard for the football.

I still cringe at the playoff game in Seattle when Rogers dropped a sure INT and run back for a TD. Such an easy pass to catch also. Anyone else remember that from the 1st Joe Gibbs playoff visit to Seattle?

[quote=GTripp0012;474486]Rogers definately has no hands, but is Smoot really in a good position to call him out?[/quote]

Seriously... Smoot gives a ridiculous cushion to every receiver on the field. The only reason he even registered an INT last week is because he was five yards away from any Giants receiver, and Eli made a terrible throw.

Oh, and Rogers brings the wood, while Smoot gets hurt making tackles...

Yeah, and just think, at the time we all chalked that up to rookie jitters... If we only knew!

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

Rogers at least appears to be improving while Smoot is clearly regressing. I don't think he's starting quality anymore at all. The quicker we can move him back to the nickel the better.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

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.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

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.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

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

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

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.

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.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

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.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

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.

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

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

Re: C. Rogers Bad Hands
 

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.

Are you thinking of the Packer game? Sean Taylor had two, but could have had four on his own. It was a rainy day though.......
