Los makes a nice INT the very next game, showing improvement and promise, but still we hear rumors of a trade. It's puzzling to say the least.

And it's retarded to say the most.

I hear the phrase "I hope I'm not reading into this too much" often, but in this case, I really hope I'm not reading into this enough. Because on the surface, what you have is a top ten -- maybe top fifteen depending on how much you value the ability to not drop three INTs per year -- CB in the NFL, who can't start because our stupid coordinator has a fetish with house blitzes and DeAngelo Hall.

Not saying that Hall didn't deserve to play based on how he was playing at the end of last year. I am saying that I don't expect him to ever play that well for a full season again in his career (it was still a down year for him if we take in the Oakland data), and we could have started both Rogers and Hall. But god forbid we actually play our best players.

Which means that the conditions seem right for an inside story here that simply haven't hit the papers. Maybe Rogers kicked Blache's dog or something. Because this fight is stupid and it's killing our secondary.
