Carlos Rogers is rookie of the week

[Southpaw]

I was going to make a new thread, but I'll just add my comment to this one. I'll admit, I was one of the people who was disappointed with Rogers play this season, but if the last few weeks are any indication of the player he is going to become in the future, I'll happily eat my words.

I was extremely impressed with his play yesterday. His coverage skills are improving, and he tackles as well as any corner in the league in my opinion, but what has impressed me recently is the wood he has been laying on opposing receivers. He's delivered a few shots over the past few weeks that have made me say "Ouch!" out loud, including one on Boldin yesterday, that made Sportcenters "Extreme Highlight". There are very few corners in the league that fall into the "hard hitting" category. I'm hoping he can continue to improve his coverage ability, but still keep the hard hitting mentality. If so, he'll be an intimidating presence like Sean Taylor.
