Carlos Rogers

i think it's hard to call a rookie overrated, simply because he hasn't been playing for years. Cut him some slack, you can't expect him to come in and be the savior. I think Rogers has been playing above and beyond expectations. Yeah, i've seen him get burned, but that should be expected by rookie corners. Yeah, he gets tricked a bit on some fakes by wide receivers, but he'll learn to stay with them. He just needs experience. I think at this point he is at the point Sean Taylor was at last year by this time, except S.T. got put in the starting lineup much earlier.

I disagree with some of this post. First let me say its nice to see Rogers in the starting lineup, he has made some nice plays. But to say he has played "above and beyond expectations" I don't think that is accurate. Most of us thought when Rogers was drafted that he would be a starter opposite Springs by Week 3 or 4, and that Harris would be moved to the nickle. Rogers is taking longer to develop than most expected. He is looking better and he defintitely is a better tackler than Harris.
