I agree, but I think that Rogers' failures are more indicative of what's wrong with the organization than him forgetting how to cover. Watching him play, it looks like he's already mailed it in for the season. I don't think he wants to be here next season, but half assing it on the field isn't going to make any other teams break the bank for him.

I'd also add Laron Landry to the list. He's been invisible in most games this season(including last night), and I can't think of anything he's done of note, outside of horribly missing open field tackles.

And while Heyer had a bad game, the entire offensive line deserves to be on the list. There is absolutely nothing that they excel at anymore. They cannot block for the pass or the run. I know a lot of people are down on Portis this season, but there were several plays last night where he immediately had two defenders in his face as soon as he was handed the ball. Purple Jesus wouldn't even be effective under those circumstances.
