Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I haven't made a big enough deal of this, so I'm going to now. Carlos Rogers is playing some stellar football right now. In fact, he has been all season long and is looking every bit like the guy who merited being taken ninth overall. While the other corners in his draft class (Pacman, Antrel Rolle) have flopped, Rogers is living up to his potential.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Someone called that one...

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Agreed.

He needs to sprinkle some of that magic pixidust on the other DBs.

Every game this season he impresses me.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

If he holds onto a few INTs, he will almost certainly get votes. He pretty much shut down Torry Holt, and held T.O. in check the 2nd half at Dallas. He should have had 2 INTs against Eli (one would have been a pick-6), but holding onto the ball has never been Rogers' strength. I am very surprised at how well he moves coming off major knee reconstruction. He is definitely #1 CB material with the way he's playing now.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Our DBs need to start making some INTs! CR is doing a great job this year, im still amazed at the fact that he is out there an performing so well after a knee injury like that last year

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Yep. They're playing stellar pass defense and CR has a lot to do with that. He's in every ones hip pocket on man coverage. Dudes playing spectacularly so far. I've got a highlight vid of him as a rookie and he looked very good then. I think injuries slowed him a bit but he looks great.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I agree...I was a bit worried when he had half the field and Torry Holt in front of him late in the game.
They threw to him 3 times in a row and there wasn't another redskin anywhere near them.
Rodgers shut him down...
I am mystified....he is better now than before his career threatening injury.
He is arguably the best player on defense right now.

C'mon out of your shells Carlos Rodgers doubters!!
(I had my doubts too)

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I haven't watched any ball this year, but I'm glad as hell Carlos is stepping up. And coming off knee surgery.

Isn't there some bet between Hessy and Malcolm over a hat? Or was that last year.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I have had many sleepless nights over Carlos since drafted. Glad to see he has developed into a quality back! He will be able to hold up his end with TO, and Roy

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Carlos has been phenomenal. For the ones always calling someone out, can you see why we don't go around cutting or benching people at the drop of a hat? He's playing as well or better than anyone one in the league. He should be a solid corner for us for years to come.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I won't say I'm completely sold yet, but he's been very solid and it's even more impressive coming off the injury.

I still sleep much better when Springs is out there though...

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

The thing with Carlos is I think he's matured. More time in the filmroom, less time partying.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I think he's been having a great season too, him and Springs are two great reasons why this team has been able to limit some top passing attacks without much of a pass rush. He is deserving of the Pro Bowl but he won't be going unless he starts picking off more passes, because it's more about stats than it is about performance.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

he's having an awesome year,but i wish he would learn how to catch the football when it hits him right in his hands.i bet he's dropped 4 pics this season.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

carlos rogers having a pro bowl year? not that i'm not happy he's doing well but...

is this a contract year for him?

just a thought...

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

So far Carlos definitely deserves to be in the Pro Bowl, but unfortunatly he's up against some stiff compititon, he's not a household name, and he doesn't have the flashy stats that everyone looks for when they're voting.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Hessy needs to start bad mouthing Malcolm Kelly, Devin Thomas, Fred Davis, and Justin Tryon. Throw in Shaun Alexander for good measure.

Look what happened when she did that to Campbell and Rogers!

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I agree Carlos is playing great. All I need him to do is catch some of those balls he's jumping in front of and take a couple back to the House!

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Actually got the Rams Skins breakdown done on Tuesday, but haven't yet had a free moment to do the write up. It's on it's way soon, I promise.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Carlos has impressed this season I hope he keeps it up

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Carlos looked good again today--he had some serious hits, which is great to see.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

So far so excellent. He seems fast, stronger, and more determined. He's finally turning his head and looking back though not as much as I would like. Pro-Bowl year for sure.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Rogers just continues to amaze me. I don't want to jinx anything, but I think he's well on his way to being a true shutdown corner.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I've been a hater, but he has played incredibly lately. He's looked lost in the past, but now he's jumping routes and looking very confident.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

The injury may have been one of the best things to happen to him because it apparently forced to him to realize that he can't depend on his physical skills forever and he's actually doing the things Springs and Smoot have been telling him to do for years-take the veterans' advice, watch game film, advance scout your opponents, use your brain.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Carlos, I thought, had a rough day in deep coverage, but I think the only person that can stop Braylon Edwards is Braylon himself...which happens a lot.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I don't know if he's having a Pro Bowl season or not. But he's playing his best ball for us. Gotta give the guy some serious credit cause he's coming off a knee injury, he's covering well and he's knocking the crap out of some guys too. Yesterday he played well but he also got some drops by Edwards and some bad throws by Anderson.

Carlos!!!!

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Damn, what a hit!

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Nasty hit, he literally sent him flying

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Rogers is an excellent cover corner. Now he is making big hits! What's next? Interceptions?

Carlos!!!![/quote]

Hey number 16, check your mid section!!!


This thread is probably driving the C-los hater Hessy to drink.

I think if he gets a few more ints, he should be a shoe-in for the probowl. He does look more diesel this year.

But on a side note, I think Horton needs a nickname. Dude is just a tackling machine. So I came up with The Predator. What do you guys think?

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Rogers, you GO!!! He has stepped up!!! That hit was a beauty. I'll be watching that for some time to come while eating my delicious crow! :)

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

He did a great job on Holt last week

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

What do you think about come back player of the year?

The only other person I can think of is Jay Cutler. But I dont know if he should count because its not like he got hurt, but rather diagnosed with a problem. Do they give the award to only people who previsouly had injuries.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

Ditto. we wrote that very thing at DC Pro Sports Report. Alot of people like to talk about Shawn Springs. BUT, Carlos Rogers is not only having his best season as a Redskin, but he he is the best CB in the secondary this year.

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

could it have something to do with coach Blatches' philosophy? it seemed like the last couple of seasons Rogers was always 10 yards off the ball. now, he is playing alot more press coverage

Re: Carlos Rogers Having a Pro Bowl Season
 

I had given up on Carlos as a cornerback we could depend on. I thought we ended up wasting a draft choice. In Greg Williams' defense, Carlos would play way back off the line of scrimmage and it ended up being an easy 10 yard gain or more on pass plays to his side for almost everybody we played, and this was in every game. But this year he's playing closer to the WR's and I think he's turned into an excellent CB. I thought the same thing about Smoot, all talk and no coverage. But not this year! They are both good cover guys, and I'd vote for Carlos for the all pro team.
