Skins may let Rogers walk...

Asomugha has had 3 interceptions over the past 4 years yet is a top 2 conerback in the NFL. But we all know Munnerlyn is no Asomugha. Theres more to CB than just interceptions. He may be really good at coverage and QBs don't want to take a chance to throw his way.

Rogers is very strong and is excellent (as the article points out) at disrupting #1 and #2 receivers AT THE LINE (press-man), but is less effective at being out "on the island" and covering man-to-man. He is one of the best in the league at playing the run and tackling ability at the cornerback position.

If you're looking for a guy who you can plug in and forget at the corner, he's not it. If you're looking for a guy who can disrupt a receivers patterns and rhythm off the line and *then* stay with him, he's very good. And if you're looking for that guy to shrug off wimpy receiver blocks and make tackles off the corner, he's one of the best.

Rogers has been thrown at alot (as i have said alot of times, he could've had 3 interceptions in a game, but dropped all three) teams throw at Rogers, but dont fear him catching them, if he caught them, then i believe he would be a shutdown corner

How does dropping potential interceptions make him NOT a "shutdown corner"? He prevented the pass from being completed, right? A "shutdown corner" is one who SHUTS DOWN the opposing receiver. If the opposing receiver is not catching the pass, the opposing receiver is shut down, right?

So what does catching or not catching the potential interception have to do with it?

(P.S. I'm not saying Rogers *is* a shut-down corner, I just think your reasoning that dropping potential interceptions PREVENTS him from being a shut-down corner is retarded.)

First off, when he dropped the potential interception on the next play, usually a big play happened or a first down happened. 2nd, a shutdown corner rarely has passes thrown his way. he puts fear in QBs and they avoid him, QBs challenge Rogers THAT is my issue. IF he caught more INTs though, QBs would avoid throwing his way due to the fact they would fear him intercepting. he dropped three in one game, Rogers isnt a bad corner, i dont know how much i have to say that, so read this CAROLINA SHOULD GET ROGERS. i like him, he's not bad, he COULD fix his issues, but i dont think he's a shutdown corner, yet, but he could be if teams avoid him more and more in the future.

I really think this guy is going to suprise a lot of people.

Too bad he probably won't be ready at the start of the season.

[Claws]

He's got butterfingers. Absolutely can't catch an int for poo.

Decent cover guy but sucks ass when it hits him right between the numbers.

shut down corners don't get thrown at.

shut down corners don't get thrown at.

that's my problem with Rogers and shut down corner. most of them dont get thrown on alot, Rogers gets thrown on alot because of the non fear of his interceptions.
