twobags95 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 With Carlos comming off his knee injury. What would you all think about playing him at Saftey for this season. Less cutting on his knee and would allow thing to develop in front of him. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsWarrior81 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 No. Doughty is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It could work, but he is a corner, and a first round pick we developed as a CB. It just makes more sense to put him in as the nickle back when he is healthy enough to play again, and slowly transitioning him back in. Also, it's Carlos ROGERS, Aaron Rodgers of the Packers is the one with the D in his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roborob132 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Agree, Doughty did well and deserves the job until proven he is unreliable. If he could put on about 15lbs of muscle though, that would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Full Monty Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I hope Carlos Rogers comes back as scheduled and that his knee isn't a long term problem in which he's never the same. Even so, we should not expect him to perform at a high level right away. It's gonna take him at least 2 years for his knee to be truly recovered to his old form.

1972FAN Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 No. Doughty is fine. I wouldn't say he's fine just yet. He filled in nicely, but time will tell if he can perform adequately at that position for a whole year or as a fulltime starter. But I do hope he excells, one less position we have to fill.

Forehead Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 In general, much like the Springs thread, I think we need to move away from the idea of using our cornerbacks as safeties. Unlike Springs, Carlos is not the most sure tackler we have, so I don't like the idea of playing him as a safety. Anyone remember that whiff on Donald Lee in the Green Bay game? I disagree with this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuraitengai Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 its been said already, but ill say it myself....its rogers, not roDgers. and moving him to safety would be a detriment. he would have to learn a whole new position for one season. then switching back to corner could leave him with bad habits to break. corners watch the game with a different view than safeties.

No_Pressure Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The way Carlos tackles (or doesn't tackle for that matter) I don't think we want him at safety. Sure sometimes he delivers a good hit, but I remember a few times this season (NY/GB games) when he decided the best way to tackle someone is to put 1 hand on their shoulder.

Smoot Point Really Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 There is no "D" in Carlos Rogers... There are also no "Hands". Of course, for the first 5+ games last year there was less "Cushion" and more "Coverage". I think putting this guy at Safety would give the Carlos Rogers sycophants another excuse for why this guy hasn't lived up to his 1st round #9 pick. Keep him at corner, hope he heals, hope he develops into a Pro Bowler... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 What's the obsession of moving our CBs back to Safety? Keep 'Los at CB. He's solid. So is Doughty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionwild_10 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 doughty played great in the box. we need help at cb asap los will eventually fill that need it probably wont be til the 2009 season until he is fully healthy though. the unhappy tri-ad (acl, mcl, medial meniscus) generally takes two years to fully recover.

Mr. Brownstone Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 With Carlos comming off his knee injury. What would you all think about playing him at Saftey for this season. Less cutting on his knee and would allow thing to develop in front of him.:dallasuck NO as a short answer or HELL NO if you want a long one. We drafted this guy with a top ten pick to play corner, not to play safety. I just hope that he has fully recovered and hasn't lost his speed. If that injury ruins his career, I'll be so disappointed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Stop with this "move our corners" to safety bull**** already. I don't know what's worse, these threads, or the "sign/trade for..." threads. :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crsh44 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 He can barely play corner.. I mean really be honest.. He just started playing decent football here this season and was getting toasted for quite some time.. Every third down thrown against him.. I mean he is good and should be great.. But moving him.. Heck no.. Let him play when he is healed and ready when ever that might be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNGwithOUTaCrwN Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 No. Doughty is fine. no to carlos being safety and no,doughty isnt all that great.we need to bring in somebody else to compete for the the starting job and will push both players to imprve their skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCchillin89 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Look at Carlos Rogers, the guy is a stick. There is no way he could transition to safety. He'd get run over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
