carlos said all they did was man and never changed. you play enough man to man, any corner is going to get beat if the qb has time.

I found it rather amusing he would make a statement like that. Obviously he does not know the history of the position he plays. Man to man, bump and run was a CB's game until the rules changed. His game would be obsolete if he were playing during the time when CB's were football players as opposed to just being cover guys. Zone defenses were virtually unheard until the forward pass became such a formidable weapon. It's only natural if you can't cover consistently in man to man you would prefer to play zone.

We cannot let the players call the shots. If he wants to go, fine, but it needs to be on our terms. Our General Manager will let him go when it suits us, not when it suits him.

Yeah F what he wants... we have to make moves that make the most sense for the team.

He's definitely not the most admirable guy on our staff but if what he says is true I'd be pissed too.

Well I would like Robinson, but seems like he has not been a happy team player in Houston either.

If Dunta Robinson signs with us, there's a good chance we'll get some offers for Rogers from teams who need a CB. There simply won't be anyone else out there worth looking at in the free agent market and it appears to be a very weak draft for CBs. I think if someone offers us a 4th, we'd take it.

I'm with you there. I also think with such a weak free agent class, we may be able to get a late 2nd or early 3rd for Los.

That's what i'd be hoping for, although the draft is very deep (well, at pretty much every position but CB, WR, and QB), so that may make teams somewhat reluctant to give up picks. i would be thrilled if we unloaded him for a high 3rd or a starting-caliber offensive guard or tackle.

Good insight. That almost gives us an incentive to lock Robinson up even if we overpay, because it allows us to 1) discard a lesser player w/ an piss-poor attitude 2) probably get more compensation for Rogers than we would otherwise. I like it.

If we don't get Robinson (he's likely headed to Atlanta), we could get Lito Sheppard or Leigh Bodden for cheaper. As SS said, I'd like to see Barnes or Tryon getting more opportunities. And I would love to get a 2nd or 3rd for Rogers.

Carlos may just be doing what his agent is telling him. I guarantee if he hit the open market he would make more than 1.5 million this year. They probably feel like creating a stir makes it more likely that he gets let go.

I am curious to see how the new leadership handles this.

[Player_HTTR]

Correct me if I am wrong here. But Brick Mittens looked like he was playing zone 90% of the time especially when he got burnt. Either he is confused or gives up as soon as the WR has a step on him. When he is burned its always really bad like somone else should have been picking up the coverage.

I hope we can get at least a third for him, but I just don't think he has shown enough to get that. You got benched cause you stunk it up and then want a payday? Bye #22.
