CONFIRMED - Carlos Rodgers in post-Dallas game medical evaluation (joke thread, MET)

[Johns Bass]

Landry's hands did not look any better on the next play and he was a whole lot closer to the ground when it bounced off of his hands.

watch his head. he was looking at the receiver.

the ball hitting him square on surprised the hell out of him.

[Disegn]

he has bad hands yes ... but he was so elevated on that play, sure an elite corner would have caught it, but he's not elite. i don't think we should kill him for that play, that was tough. some of you can't climb the stairs at your job to your cubicles, and you are getting on Los for not catching that ...

damnit! this response was perfect in every single way

[Slacky McSlackAss]

Yeah, no way was Landry even expecting that ball to get to him. Laron was just being himself and looking for the big hit.

As for Carlos, well we've known about his terrible hands for years upon years. You would figure it would be something he would work on during the offseason .

[BadKarma]

Los & D Hall give us one of the top cover corner tandems in the NFL, I would say definitely top 10 if not top 5. Los is the better cover man of the two but has stone hands and just doesn't make interceptions. That doesn't mean he doesn't make big plays though, one of the reasons you dont hear much about Los during games is because he blankets receivers so well they almost always go to Hall's way or into the slot. Los is almost invaluable to this team and as we progress through this season and he plays well I hope Bruce has enough foresight to give him a long term deal and keep him in B&G for the rest of his career, we could be much worse off than having Los on this team even if he never develops into a int machine.

[LaxinFish29]

This just in....this isnt breaking news.

[Smoot Point Really]

Is why he aint no receiver

Kinda sick of hearing this... He isn't an offensive lineman either.

Confirmed: You call yourself a Redskins fan but can't spell the last name of your starting CB even though it says it on the back of his jersey.

Confirmed: You call yourself a fan and have more than 1000 posts on this site, but don't acknowledge the well-known joke: There is no "D" in Rogers.

And you're 100% sure that the OP didn't make a mistake? Joke is old and stale as well. Carlos has plenty of "D". Just can't catch the damn ball. I suppose that's as bad as him not being in position in the first place to even have a chance to make that play, right?

[SkinnedAussie]

In his defence, he did get a slight push from Austin, which put him off balance. Down here, in Aussie Rules, that would be called as tunneling, and usually results in the offending player spending a week or two on the sidelines.

[MintHillSkinsFan]

Maybe he needs his eyes checked. Everything was in place on that play. He had position, he had his up and just didn't bring it in. Nobody has hands that bad. There has to be a depth perception problem or something.

[Commander Adama]

Please change thread title. I know you are trying to be funny, but come on. Also, he may not be able to get an interception but he played wonderfully.

[AsburySkinsFan]

totally ... he sucks at catching, no argument. people are just piling on at this point.

Oh come on we've always been consistent in our critique of Carlos, and he's always been consistent with his play just like last night...a player who continually proves that he's a delightfully below average player. We need a premier corner, Carlos is not it.

[jonnyboy383]

I'm so sick of Carlos Rogers and his butter fingers. Can he freakin' play with the backup QBs and play 500?

[War Paint]

I know we joke about his hands of stone, but that potential interception would have been a very hard catch. He was stretched and fully extended in the air with contact. If he would have held on to it, it would have been a great play. This is one drop that I won't criticize Rodgers over.

[RandyHolt]

i am no doctor but I would get his eyes checked. have they already done this? I can only assume so, but assumption is the mother of all ....

[Peregrine]

Please for the love of God stop defending a man that obviously cannot catch, ever. I make that catch, and so do a lot of other guys. In fact, his drop almost cost us the game as it would have ended the Cowboys chances. Romo sits to pee threw up a prayer over there almost as if he knew it was safe to throw a duck to Carlos.

I think saying "It was a touch catch"(it wasn't that tough) only works for the first dozen times he drops a ball. After drop number 30 I don't think the excuse is valid anymore.

[AsburySkinsFan]

After drop number 30 I don't think the excuse is valid anymore.

Exactly, this criticism didn't start last night, it's been a constant his entire career.

[Johns Bass]

Take a look at his expression afterwards - tells a different tale

[hobbie8046]

I will take his above average coverage skills over a guy who catches everything and can't cover worth a damn (D Hall) every day of the week.

[SkinSabbath]

needs to talk to alex barron. that guy can hold onto ANYTHING

AHAHAHAHAHA Winner

[Chris Worthy]

Because we know Los cant catch this just allow the flood gates to open.

[SWFLSkins]

The thread title is mis-leading at best, and why act like Los can catch, this is so Captain Obvious material.

[brianm23]

Guy couldn't catch a cold. He wonders why he can't get paid like D. Hall.

[sugarbear326]

Carlos can't catch or see, the football hit his wrist, not even his hands, game, set, match if he catches that ball...
