Carlos Rogers Done For The Year

[GMScud]

A sprained MCL but a "significant" injury to the ACL. That's bad. If that is in fact a tear, he won't be 100% ready for the start of the year. He plays the defensive position that requires the most cutting, starting and stopping, and speed. This is bad for Carlos and bad for us. Bad.

This is terrible news but I think we can handle this better than losing other players on Defense. I like Rogers and thought he was putting forth a very good effort but I think we've got the depth to overcome this loss. Damn crazy year for us with the injuries, especially how we were remarking how fortunate we were earlier this season.

Was there an injury clause in the TMC/hessy wager concerning Roger's INT total?

I was highly critical of Rogers last year. But he was looking solid this year. I only recall Rogers being involved in two bad plays (the missed tackles on Plaxico Burress and the GB TE). That's pretty damn good for a corner.

I am begining to wonder whether or not some of you are watching the same Carlos Rogers I am on the Field. He is a terrible Deep Cover Corner and an Average at Best Nickle corner. Opposing teams have targeted him since we drafted him. Must we forget the attempted shoulder tackle on a TE that was flying down the Middle of the Field against Green Bay? Or the NUmerous misreads and flatout burns this season? (Philly, Arizona, Giants). I have lost patience with Carlos. I look at this Injury in the same light as if we traded him for an untested Rookie. carlos has had his day and the sun many a game and has dried up like a raisin. Its time for Lee Torrence to show us what he can do.

Okay, I can stomach people saying they'd like to see Betts start, but you are not actually anxious to see Leigh Torrence start? I realize the grass is always greener, especially with impatient Redskins fans, but come on.

I don't think that's how that was intended to come across. I read it as, "well, we better hope Torrance can play"

Yeah he is some shit and dont forget Laron landry can play corner.Carlos Rogers sucked anyway another Leon Hall with the Bengals high drafted and cant cover a damn turd.

I think the jury is still out on Rogers as a pure cover guy but I think the defensive schemes they had been running this year, playing a lot of zone and pressing, was really suited to Rogers strengths.

No question this is maybe our most serious setback yet.

On defense right? Losing Jansen and Thomas was just as devastating.

[GusFrerotte]

I was more worried about the injuries than the loss of the game, now Rogers out for the year is the worst news than the drubbing. Most of us chalked this one as a L, but damn Rogers gone will hurt us bigtime. Thank God the Jets suck!

[Smooter]

Extremely disappointing to me. Solid year out of Carlos thus far and to be have a setback like this has to be just as disheartening to him. Whether or not Springs a redskins next year I'd like to see us use a pick in the mid rounds on another CB, or find a decent addition to our starters. Do you think its possible to lure Darrell Green out of retirement? I'm kidding...Wait maybe I'm not.

Like I said in another thread, it's time for Smoot to back up the smack.

He was really coming into his own too...this is quite a shame.

I saw where it said he tore his ACL and MCL...how will he make it back by training camp if that is true? Anyone have better info?

I am not trying to be grim, but I tore my MCL 4 years ago, and I have not been the same since. The injury has technically healed, but my leg feels like a streched rubberband and my knee doesn't hold in place properly. Every once in a while my knee gives out and I nearly fall on my face. I cannot run long distance like I used to and planting on it while sprinting is slightly painfull. I am not nearly as fast as I was.

I do not see how professional athletes come back from injuries like these honestly. In my experience, you are never 100% again.

Good luck Carlos, I hope you can make it back.

They have access to the best surgeons (Dr. Andrews), rehabilitation, physical therapists, and trainers money can buy. Plus a guy as athletic as Carlos Rogers, a top 10 draft pick, is already blessed with the best physical attributes out there. Guys come back from this stuff all the time. That said, I'm sure we'll continue to try and bolster the CB position moving forward...

I feel bad for Carlos Rogers. But every time I saw him screw up a play, I'd think . . . dang, we could have had Merriman!
