First thing that everyone has to bear in mind is that
we have the #6 ranked passing defense in the league (by yards) and one of the worst pass rushes in the league (according to sacks) so everyone who is hating on our cornerbacks right now needs to step back and put things in perspective.
Neither Hall nor Rogers are a #1 corner
right now although they both are still young and have potential to grow. They are both very solid cornerbacks.
There are only a handful of real shutdown corners in the league. We happen to have one actually in Shawn Springs but between his salary and his absenteeism I can't imagine him staying unless he is willing to renegotiate.
In all likelihood they are going to resign Hall and extend Rogers. If Springs isn't willing to play ball (from a negotiating standpoint) then I think you will see him gone.
Also, I don't know why everyone is hating on Fred Smoot. He is a solid third corner back.
