He also has a knack for finding offensive gems from the APPARENT scrapheap.
However, old dogs can't learn new tricks, and fielding a defense that isn't Swiss cheese is a new trick he can't learn. The philosophy shift was necessary, the switch to the 3-4 was unnecessary. He also makes questionable veteran signings like Ron Dayne, Galloway, etc.

Also, be afraid if Rogers doesn't come back here. He drafted for "need" at CB in Denver, and those corners did not pan out at all. He had to trade away Tatum and Bell and George Foster(he did get rid of two busts) to get Dre Bly.
I'd be very surprised if Rogers doesn't return
