DirtySkin21 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I Don't know how to make a Poll but I'm curious to see how many fans think Carlos Rogers is going to have a "break-out" season this year or prove that he was a "bust". I personally think he might improve this year if he's hungry for it. I am skeptical on his hands because I have seen him drop a lot of CRUCIAL passes in crucial poins in the game. For some reason, I think with the CBdepth we have picked up that this will force him to prove himself and to work harder. I don't expect him to have 10 INT in season but I do expect him to catch the ones he does get his hands on. Let me know what y'all think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorcoreskin Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I expect him to get about 4 or 5. It's an improvement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySkin21 Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 lol nice work pete.but how do you define breakout? By this I mean, Catch balls that are thrown his way and to not drop any. Just to plain out improve and prove he was worth a 1st round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgun88 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 It wont be a break out season but he will do better. I still think my grandmother catches better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan07 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 If he worked with the great D.Green and Deion this offseason like he was supposed too, than I think he will show great improvement. I'm predicting 5 + ints for him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorcoreskin Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 By this I mean, Catch balls that are thrown his way and to not drop any. Just to plain out improve and prove he was worth a 1st round pick what if he catches like 8 INT but drops 5? is that considered a break out season?

DirtySkin21 Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 I HOPE he will and I HOPE he has a break out season but he def will be better. I hope he proves me wrong but like I said, I have seen him drop too many balls that a special olympics corner back would catch(no offense to people with mental disabilities, my cousin has down syndrome) but I was saying that becuase it's the truth. My cousin would of caught some of them balls that he dropped. But we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySkin21 Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 what if he catches like 8 INT but drops 5? is that considered a break out season? yes, that is still considered a breakout season because those drops are sill counted as break-ups so if he is creating that much havoc he is DEF breaking out.

Area51 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 With the supporting cast around him, I think he will do a lot better. Carlos went through a sophomore slump but it was his first full season as in his rookie year he was hurt for a large portion of the season. Carlos, IMO, has 3 flaws. 2 of them can be fixed. 1. He needs to learn how to hold on to the ball. I think he can work on this enough to be able to hold on to a couple more balls. 2. He needs to get in better shape. Carlos seems to tire quickly and really should try to work on his stamina. 3. He does not have great speed. This is something that he unfortunately can't change. If you look at last year, Carlos did well against bigger WRs like TO, Burress, Johnson and Smith(not a big WR but not a speed demon either) but looked really bad against average receivers with great speed(Troy Williamson). Hopefully he works on his hands and conditioning and gets a few pointers from Green and Sanders, the last two true shutdown corners to play. If he does this, I think he can have a great year, as long as he doesnt have to play the Troy Williamsons of the NFL week in and week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWinzit Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 What if he doesn't make a single interception the whole season but: becomes one of the top cover corners in the game has 10 forced fumbles leads all CB's in tackles has 20 pass defenses has 8 sacks has 20 QB hurries Although important, INT's do not make a CB. They are just one aspect of the game! I believe Carlos will show much over all improvement this season.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Shot Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I'm usually an optimistic guy, so my natural response is to say yes, he will improve. He wasn't terrible in the first place, I don't think. If he had caught those dropped interceptions, I don't think people would flame him as much. I don't know, it's kind of an overrated stat when you think about it. All most people look at when analyzing a DB is the number of INTs he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatSkins27 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 with SS back and healthy teams will throw to him esp if he is used in the slot with smooty in the game...with more blitzes and help around him i see him with 3-5 ints and 10-12 break ups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos is the one of the best run support CBs in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbill1952 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I voted yes. I blame last year's Rodgers on a sophomore slump and the team's performance on an all-around season of injuries, player busts, predictable play-calling, old QB, new QB, new offense, etc. It seems like every thing that could go wrong, did. Every team has has years like that and it was our turn. but I think it provided a wake-up call for the players and the coaches. When pride gets stung, people with pride respond. Break-out? Depends on the definition. Solid enough to prove he should have been a number one pick? I'm expecting it. He's a good corner. This year he'll be better.

seanyt Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 ok how bout this. With 2 int's in 05 for 14 yds, and 1 int in 06 for 0 yds, I think C. Rodgers hands down (but hopefully up) could very easily have a CAREER year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmopolitianbloodloss Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I voted yes. Carlos is a good CB, the entire defense blew last year. You can't pin it all on one guy. I say, if the defense as a whole steps it up, you'll see the real Los. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Well, he can't get worse. Frankly, I fully expect Smoot to beat him out for the #2 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySkin21 Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 Well, he can't get worse. Frankly, I fully expect Smoot to beat him out for the #2 spot. I respect your opinion but I disagree. I think roger will show flashes of greatness and show that he can truly be a shutdown corner. remember in college he was regarded as so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySkin21 Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 35 yes and 4 no's, and SOOOO many people bash the guy on a daily basis? where are these people? that's why I asked this question, because i saw something about Los being the whipping boy,but I like him as a player the only thing is that he needs to concentrate more so he can catch the ball. If he could do that, he would be the full-package. Because he is NOT slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
