10 million dollar corners shut players down and make big plays. They are the COMPLETE package.
I'm just sayin' ..you're calling out Carlos for not catching int's. Yeah he didn't catch the ball, he's not a top corner, but I'd take him over any of these bums we currently have.

It's not my fault Carlos is crying about not being "nutured"(aka PAID). Like it or not, catching picks helps a corner get paid. Coverage also gets a corner paid. But it's not about one or the other. You have to have both to be paid the big bucks.

He could have taken the signing of Hall as a challenge and played lights out. He would have gotten his wish of getting paid if did that, because that's how the NFL normally works. You perform, you get the money. End of story.

Re: Rodgers talks about redskins organization

Gotta agree with Carlos...this place was run into the ground by a couple sh*theads who obviously didnt know sh*t about football ake Danny Boy and Vinny. They made poor personel moves and coaching moves which contributed to an environment of choas. Alotta players here didnt deserve the paychecks they got. Shoulda never let him go, know he's a damn probowler and we are stuck with D Hall and Wilson, both inferior. We deserve the hate sometimes.

If he were so jealous of the other guys getting paid, why was that kick in the 'nads NOT enough to motivate him to do whatever it takes to improve his hands and coverage so that he surpassed those guys? Why did he not bust out with a couple AH-like years in which he looked like a Revis on steroids?

And him afraid of being sat down? Coaches wouldn't sit him for Buchanon or Barnes at all unless he was doing something very, very wrong.

With your logic and some others ive read on the thread one question:

Explain D Hall's contract done by our FO please?

D Hall's contract was ****ing stupid. Same reasons. His past performance was not enough to justify it. But Vinny is like Jerruh: letting someone walk to another team is a crime, even if he's not that good. He probably didn't even bother to bring up DHall's awful half of a season in Oakland in the negotiations.

Well MS and Haslett have kept him for two seasons so they should share the blame as well if this is such a big issue.

I second that!! He's bitter because Hall was given a huge contract instead of him, that was the writing on the wall that he wasn't going to be kept. I don't care that he dropped balls, at least he could cover and tackle. You can create turn overs and get burned all day or have someone who can prevent catches. Now he can do both while we are stuck with a couple of average guys.

Thank you. That's what a corner is suppose to do first.

Re: Rodgers talks about redskins organization

Los was way too inconsistent here, and he has to share in some of that blame. I have no problems with players pointing out flaws with their old teams, but it would be nice if they also acknowledged some of their own when doing so too.

Re: Rodgers talks about redskins organization

He was a Redskin.
He didn't do squat as a Redskin.
He should not talk about the Redskins.
Now hes a freak town 49er, he can kiss my ass.

Re: Rodgers talks about redskins organization

What we should be pissed about:

1) that he now can actually catch the ball (that last int he got last week was even a difficult catch)

2) not that he says the Skins signed too many FAs, but that he chose to leave a year after the new regime came in & changed things. You can't claim Allen & Shanny are overpaying for FAs & not looking to sign their own. I recall Smootsmack saying several times he thought they were either close to or working on a deal w/Los.

Re: Rodgers talks about redskins organization

All Rogers had to do was to hold on to those picks, esp those that hit him in the hands. I think it was two years ago when he could have won a game against the Colts by himself if he holds on to the damn ball.

Re: Rodgers talks about redskins organization

Los was solid. I dont get why there is sudden hate for the man.

alot of us thought he was the better CB over hall or that they atleast complimented each other.

The skins FO didnt make re-signing him a priority.

prior to 2009 Los was entering the last year of his contract, he wanted us to resign him. Instead we choose to ignore him, let him play with no guarantee or future security (if he got a career ending injury he was done) and overpay hall for 8 games of production with us.

Then 2010 was that odd non-collective bargaining agreement season where he should have been a FA but he wasnt eligible b/c of the rule. We choose to again not resign him and make him play with no guarantee or future security. At that point it was obvious to everyone he felt slighted by the skins who didnt make him a remote priority. so he played cautiously in 2010, not wanting to risk injury for a skins franchise who didnt value him and overvalued d hall.

the skins FO yet again failed to recognize and keep their own developed talent and instead choose to overpay for outside flashy "talent" . .

Carlos Rogers had ever right imo to say eff the skins entering the 2010 season. I think shanny and allen would have wanted to keep los over hall but thanks to vinny, we were hog tied to hall and all that coin tied up in the CB position . . for one below average player . .who had been outright released by the raiders . .

the skins messed up yet again. when are they going to properly value their own young talent and not overvalue overhyped FAs? i really hope the current regimes decision on los was b/c of vinnys contract to hall.

Re: Rodgers talks about redskins organization

I thought letting him go was a mistake even though he couldn't catch a cold. My guess is that the 49ers had him work with their WR's coach which is something I don't think we ever did
