RI: Rogers doesn't know how long benching will last..

Redskins Insider - How long will Rogers' benching last?

Ok, full disclosure, I don't like Carlos Rogers. Never have, never will. I think he's got the attitude of a Hall of Famer and the talent of a journeyman. That out of the way, I wasn't surprised that he got benched after giving up yet ANOTHER long TD when he bit on a double move and quit on the play. After the best win of they season, here are some of his comments..

"It's nothing new to me," Rogers said. "Anything that happens around here ain't nothing new to me. I went through it last year. I was benched after the first half of the season I had. ... "I didn't really worry about it, and I'm not really going to think about it. I ain't even going to think about no future here."

I'll be glad to see him gone after this season.

Did he attend the "Emmit Smith Learn Speak English Academy"? Heck, I'd say Emmit sounds like he has PHD when compared to Los.

Earl Campbell an instructor there?

Yep, likely not to be here. Hell his play this year hasn't excited me, but we'll be worse without him.

Chico23231 · 11-15-2009, 07:07 PM

Cry me a river Los....Im a Los supporter and think he decent cover guy and showed that the previous 2 seasons, but this season he hasnt been good. Your only as good as your last game, well your last play..right? His comment :"I ain't even going to think about no future here" We should be able to find a guy to replace him.... Bye Bye Carlos...Tell Portis and JC to save him a seat on the bus out of Washington in the offseason

DynamiteRave · 11-15-2009, 07:09 PM

He was as good as gone earlier in the season when he talked shit on the FO. You knew he was accepting his pink slip then. I wouldn't wanna put Rogers out on the field for the remainder of the year, honestly.

He's ok (very okay. What good is a CB that can bat down passes but can't catch for shit?), but he doesn't have the team's best intentions at heart anymore. All he wants now is to get the eff out of DC ASAP.

rypper11 · 11-15-2009, 07:24 PM

Why wait until the offseason? I say Keyshawn him. Zorn can show that this is still his team for now and suspend him for "conduct detrimental" thanks to these comments.

skinsfaninok · 11-15-2009, 07:37 PM

Fuck Carlos Rogers and his Auburn teamate JC!!! Atleast JC never quits but they both suck ass and are BIG problems on our D AND O!!!

Blache probably made the right move to sit him down, because his level of play on that first drive was not acceptable. First, good tape study from McDaniels and Co. to know that Rogers will bite on deep comeback action. Marshall probably still has his jock.

Of course, the troubling aspect is that you know if Hall had made the same mistake, Blache would have excused it as a bad call, and just generally enabled his bullshit. There's a standard that Blache has for Hall and Landry, and then there's the standard for everyone else. Scheming aside, that's why Blache is a bad coach.

Rogers strikes me as somethin as a headcase, though one could argue the way he's been coached could be the reason I guess. That said he's not a shutdown corner against the top WR in football, which sucks because it we don't have anyone else to fill that role either. The other big thing about Rogers is his horrible ball skills, so he can't be a big play type of corner. I REALLY doubt there will be much of a market for him. He'll go somewhere next year but it won't be an impressive contract.

Totally agree w/ GTripp: Blache is a crap coach. There's no reason IMO he should still have a job because his group is definitely not playing up its potential and he's not returning anyway. Fire him and give the best position coach a shot to see what we might have going for next year.

Great post. Losing the way have this season can create a mob mentality against certain players. Last week it was Landry, this week it is Rogers. It is so easy to hate your DB's. When they make a mistake the results is usually a TD or something costly. All DB's will eventually get beat. There is no such thing a "shut down corner". It is impossible.
Not to say that some of the complaints on Rogers like attitude, no hands and not living up to expectations are legitimate. These things are true to varying degrees. But he is a very serviceable corner and while he drops many potential interceptions and gets beat on occasion, the guy is a better than average corner. I think the anger and hate on this thread is a bit over the top.
I hate to see another hole created in our lineup that will need to be filled, just because he is unpopular. He have other needs, lets not create another.

Bulger, Stafford, Johnson, Delhomme, and Cassel. Did I miss anyone?

Actually, you could add Orton to that list of craptacular QBs, but he threw for so many yards that we're actually not first, second, or third against the pass anymore. Actually, it turns out that we don't even bother to cover receivers going down the field anymore.

I think this point has been lost on a lot of us, we had such a cupcake schedule. Such a waste...
