Positive Thread: Carlos Rogers is a stud

[Vman2k6]

Anyone else think Carlos Rogers is a stud? Im real excited about this kid...he could had bout 2-3 picks on sunday.

[SonnyRules]

He stepped up this week. A remarkable improvement over Walt "Burnt Toast" Harris.

[Sweet Sassy Molassy]

Dude was on his A game Sunday. I've always been impressed with his tackling, but the way he was able to locate the ball in the air while staying step for step with his man was equally impressive.

[Loyal2Washington]

Had some nice open field tackles, a pick, and played solid coverage the rest of the time. Easily his best a game as a professional and hopefully will warrant more playing time over Walt Harris.

Sunday was definitly his coming out party.

He is a rookie so I didnt expect a ton from him but he has played solid so far.

A game like that (vs. SD) can only help his confidence....confidence in a corner is HUGE. I am interested to see how our pass defense handles the Bruce, Holt and Curtis trifecta. I dont care who is quarterbacking.....their system via passing is the equivalent of the Broncos running system. Every qb does well....Martin will do fine.

[Skins11]

I think Carlos will soon be better than Smoot ever was for us.

[Drex]

There is no way Harris should be playing ahead of Rogers at this point. Let the rookie develop and learn the position.

[MoeRedskins]

Gibbs said on his show that Rogers was finally health enough for them to get a lot out of him. Which is awesome, he should be a great cover corner who is a good tackler. Can't get much better then that.

A few starts makes you a stud?

ok

[AlexRS]

I really like that almost-interception around the 5, do you know the play I was talking about? He looked real good on that one.

I agree. I normally wouldn't say sit the vet over the rookie so far into the season. But with the way Harris has been playing, and the VERY impressive performance by Rogers, I couldn't say no.

[Loxley]

Rogers was nominated for rookie of the week this week too. Hes never gonna win it but i thought id bring it up.

[The Full Monty]

Actually the Rams will be starting the rookie from Harvard, Fitzpatrick, who threw for 300 yards in relief of an injured Martin against the Texans.

I don't care that it was the Texans, the fact that he threw for 300 yards is pretty impressive for a rookie, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Rams have found gold with another unheralded QB.

Too bad Rogers is gonna pick him off for a score.

[Skins24]

Patrick Ramsey had 268 yards and a 103.6 rating his first action.

The next game he had a 42.8 rating.

Same thing is going to happen to the Harvard kid.

Carlos Rogers will get another pick (at least one) this Sunday. Hopefully Harris never starts again.

[The Sisko]

Harris and Royal have definitely played themselves out of starting roles. We now need to get Rogers more experience and see what Johnson can do during the remainder of this season.

[G-Prime]

He's had in my opinion, one good week.. I hope he can build from it, I've been worried about him all season.

[cphil006]

He had a nice jump for that pic that he ended up dropping. I think teams found out our weakness was Walt Harris and now maybe Carlos can start more often...

[redphoenix]

he was great all day,the only reason brees threw at him that late was to try to draw a pass interference call,it worked once.

[Walking Deadman]

He's still got a way to go on mastering coverage, but-- he's doing the things that the Skins drafted him:

1. He plays the run very well, he plays it better (flat passes also) than Smoot or Bailey did when they were here.

2. He can hit (has caused some fumbles this year-- that the team sadly didn't recover) and probably is more of a corner blitz threat than Fred was last year.

3. For the most part he can cover #1-#2 guys decently to very well. Yes, he covered McCardell much better than Harris last week (BTW it was McCardell that Brees was throwing to when he got his INT).

Was well worth the draft pick and is showing to be the best pick of the top 3 drafted corners so far (Pac-Man, Rolle and Rogers).

[FootballGuy2677]

Yes, he should be starting, if Jason Campbell turns out to be our future joe gibbs will have gotten Chris Cooley, Jason Campbell, Sean Taylor, and Carlos Rogers...w00t! Thanks Joe!

P.S did you see carlos rogers running behind ladainian tomlinson? he is freaking fast!I would of liked to see him running TOWARDS ladainian tomlinson but still.

[#1SkinsFan]

he was really impressive, and could have had at least 2 picks, but couldnt hold on to one in the endzone, but he is playing good football right now, especially for a rookie. He is making good tackles, not looking lost, playing good overall d, thus far.He gets my vote for Defensive rookie of the year!!!!!!

[3rd Generation Die Hard]

I believe Carlos is a mirror image of Springs, younger of course. They both are around 6 feet and 200 lbs. Both have excellnt speed, strength and hands. Both play the run extremly well. I love the fact we had the right mind to let Smoot walk and draft Rogers. Smoot was at his best last year where as Carlos has a larger cieling for his potential. Also proud we drafted Carlos over M. Williams. If Carlos does not take over full time for Harris as the starter starting against st. louis I will be very suprised.
