[diehardskin2982]

These comments where posted via twitter by 106.7 dafan. Apparently they had a interview with Rogers, who now wants to be on the team. He was upset with the coaching staff and now that they are gone he wants to stay a skin...

1067thefandc Spoke to #Redskins CB C.Rogers via phone:“I definitely want to be here, especially after the coaching change — but it is in their hands” -CR

1067thefandc #Redskins RFA CB C.Rogers: “We never changed. I got beat several times. I'm sorry. That’s what happens when you play man & don’t change"-CR

1067thefandc #Redskins CB C.Rogers: "I am a starter in the league, and a lot of teams wanted to try to trade for me, and they would not let me go.” -CR

1067thefandc #Redskins CB C.Rogers on Landry: “Laron is a good player. They just tell him to do too many different things. So he gets confused a lot."-CR


Should we keep him? what do you think, discuss...

He's worth tendering.

Definitely; you shouldn't groan about keeping the guy but he's not above receiving offers on either.

I think that what he says about Landry and some of the scheme stuff is true, we've been hearing it for years from more than one guy.

He's a solid CB, but there's always been something going on between he & the staff. We saw this in 06 & in the past 2 years especially. Will a coaching change truly make a difference? I don't know. For now I'll agree w/Matty that he's certainly worth tendering.

I totally agree. There was something he had problems with under G.Williams, now its the staff under Zorn. Some people get all bent out of shape about what they are asked to do and whether they feel they should do it or not. Others are Roll players. We need Roll players. People who will do their job and not complain. I know for the most part Rogers has been a Roll player and perhaps I'm completely wrong about Rogers and when he would get beat but I felt he was a better Man-to-Man cover corner vs. a Zone cover corner. I seemed to think he got beat a lot when he was in a zone scheme. Like he was lost as to who to cover and for how long. Yet he writes he didn't do well in a man-to-man scheme?

He's a good corner. Not sure how many people we can Tendure but I'm in this crowd. I think he values himself more then what he's actually worth though.

Just like Phat Albert having a problem with the coaching staff. tender him

[53Fan]

He may play well with the new staff and schemes. Tender him.

[SFREDSKIN]

It would be a mistake to get rid of him.

[johno]

we have obvious and more pressing needs at other positions. los has not played great, just doing his job the best he can. tender him for now.

with a new staff (haslett specifically) talking about making changes that should lead to more turnovers, maybe los makes an impact. i am not holding my breath, but hopeful.

Yeah, but turnovers usually involves actually catching the ball if you're a DB...

we have to retain carlos, hes our best corner imo.

this isnt the first time we've heard that landry was confused as to his assignments last year b/c he was being told different/opposite things. he was told at different times last year to play the receiver and make his reads, then he was told to play the ball and make his reads, he was told to come up and be aggressive against the run then told to play back, etc.....

landry and los are solid players who i think will benefit greatly from not having ol stubborn aint gonna change a damn thing blache as their D coord.

I remember the same issues occuring with Sean, you now the big article talking about Steve Jackson in the Washington Post. I'm suprised he remained on the new staff.

[Eknox]

keep him, what he said makes a lot of sense...

[Longtimefan]

He has expressed his frustration from time to time, but he's more than serviceable and is worth keeping on the team now that he's shown the desire to stay.
