Carlos Rogers will play!!!

[Skinsfan1906]

For those of you who haven't heard, a few hours ago, Comcast Sports reported that CB Carlos Rogers is fine and will play against Tampa. They interviewed him and he said that not only does he feel fine, but he could have actually played in the recent Philly game. The coaches decided to rest him an extra week for precautionary measures. Just thought that I would update those of you who had not heard the good news.:)

This is great news, now he needs to prepare for Galloway.

[akhhorus]

This is great news, now he needs to prepare for Galloway.

None of our Cbs have the speed to cover Galloway one on one. I would stack Harris and Taylor on him and focus Rogers on their other wideout. And blitz Simms so he can't throw it deep comfortably(look at what the Pats did) or has to dump it off.

[bosshog001]

Thank god, now we just need Springs to heal a bit.

Never thought I would care, but any word on Jimoh?

[BurgundyNGold]

This is big. While it's not everything, it is still VERY big. We would've been going into the game with only Walt Harris and Ade Jimoh (our 3rd and 4th corners) without Carlos. While I like to think positively, that particular combination did not give me confidence.

Mr. Galloway? Meet two guys who you missed last time around: Mr. Taylor and Mr. Rogers. :)

Thats 2 jokes in the same hour, K GUYS Joey galloway is the same person he was in dallas, he isnt fast but he beats bad cbs, ask walt he knows.

[IMALILTEAPOT]

Mr. Galloway? Meet two guys who you missed last time around: Mr. Taylor and Mr. Rogers. :)hm, thats a good point. and if springs is able to play, simms is gonna see a whole different defensive secondary than what he saw last time.

[stonebraker]

All I have to say is

Mmdelicious

[EHoffman]

That's wonderful. And this is my 100th post. That's wonderful too.

[S.Taylor36]

Great news!!!! Galloway scares me the most since we have allowed the big pass play. Clayton is out for the game and Ike Hillard doesn't scare me.

[CNYSkinFan]

This news can not be bigger. I like Akh's plan above....although Harris on Galloway is pretty scary, but Taylor can help.

[redwolf1218]

Thats 2 jokes in the same hour, K GUYS Joey galloway is the same person he was in dallas, he isnt fast but he beats bad cbs, ask walt he knows.
he is the fastest guy on the Bucs team according to this link to all teams' player's 40 times.
http://www.couchscout.com/nfteam.htm
i'm glad Rogers is playing, but i'm sure they'll still try to work on him because he is still a rookie, and Harris might be the weakest link out there. This will be a big game for Taylor and Clark.

[santanadasavior]

This is excellent news. It gives great hope knowing that he will play with the recent injuries at that position. Shawn Springs said that he will not miss this game on MNL on Comcast. Better news.

[BurgundyNGold]

That's wonderful. And this is my 100th post. That's wonderful too.
And they've all been quality posts too. Well, except for this last one. :D

[redwolf1218]

that's great news too, i was wondering if Clayton would play. he's had a bum shoulder for a while now.

[PennSkinsFan]

This is great news. If we can have a healthy Rogers and Harris, we shoudl be fine. I would have Prioleau play the nickel. Jimoh is the type of guy that you take for granted. He has made mistakes when he was a younger player, but zI think over the last two years has taken tremendous strides in becoming a complete CB. I hope he will be signed off for Tampa.

[whitskins]

Is this sarcasm? Galloway is the only receiving threat on the Bucs, he beats his opponent's top man every week. And he has nearly 1300 yards and 10 TDs. He has been dominant this year and still runs a 4.2 forty.

Getting Carlos back is huge for this game.

[redwolf1218]

if we get all these guys healthy we'll be dangerous.

[vbskins]

hm, thats a good point. and if springs is able to play, simms is gonna see a whole different defensive secondary than what he saw last time.

Its not just the secondary he will see, but if I am not mistaking Grif did not play last game either. BRING THE HEAT!!!!

If Brunell has a better game I see us beating the snot out of Tampon IntheEars

[GoDannyBoy]

Good news. More weapons are better. Williams will have a game plan to get Simms. Expect more now that we are in the playoffs.

Oh I agree, but we need to blitz someone on the same side as Galloway, forcing Simms to look the other way, but leave somebody like Prioleau back in coverage to help out on the same side as Galloway.

Absolutely agree. This is great news we'll get to do that! I feel much better already. It might be too much to ask for Springs back too, but I'm asking anyway. Here's something I can't believe I'm saying. I wish Jimoh were No. 3 and healthy and Harris on the bench throughout. I have no confidence left in him.

[ryflan47]

Springs questionable for practice but possibility for Saturday? Sounds somewhat optimistic!

[bgforever]

Thank god, now we just need Springs to heal a bit.

Never thought I would care, but any word on Jimoh?

He's fine now. He will play against the Bux.

[RedskinsVision]

Rogers returning will somewhat offset the potential loss of Springs. But we'll have 2 other big contributors playing in this game that didn't play the first TB game. Griffin and Taylor will make up for a lot of the mistakes the defense made in allowing 36 points to a team that has no business of scoring that much against us.

Keeping Carlos Rogers out an extra week is a Veteran move by a Veteran Coaching Staff. We could manage without him in the game in philly and now he is refreshed and strong against TB in good weather. The fact that we lost some CB's this week makes the move even better. I'm definitely glad that we have a strong Rogers back.

HAIL

[DoGood]

Wow, really?

[PennSkinsFan]

The article also states that Jimoh will practice and play and that his irregular heartbeat is not a new issue. So, at this point, we are looking at Rogers, Harris, and Jimoh. Not bad. Come Springs, heal baby!

[CowboyKilla]

He ain't a Rookie no more. Take it to them Carlos.

[superskin]

There is alot of talk in this thread about how Galloway is their only threat and Hilliard doesnt scare anyone, etc...but there is one name that no one seems to be mentioning - EDELL SHEPPARD. Other than the referees, he was the biggest factor in us losing down there earlier this year, and with Clayton out, he may be due for more playing time. Yeah, I think his two TD performance against us was a fluke too, but we better have his name down in our game plan, assuming he is even playing.

you got that right. he's fast, and i never heard of him before he torched us.

Yeah hopefully we will cover Sheppard this time around, but he has done nothing all year except for his game against us, where he had one TD and 87 yards on 3 catches.

His other 15 games this season combined he only has 3 receptions and 16 yards. We need to cover him if he's out there on Sunday, but if this dude burns us again I'll pull my hair out.

[danny's stogie]

I'm a bit suprised Rogers didn't play this past week if he was healthy. It takes a game or two to get game legs going so I wish he had had a chance to work off the rust. I hope it doesn't cost the Skins early Saturday.

[bgforever]

I agree about the game legs. Remember his first pre-season game against Cincy? Hopefully he's been able to work on his conditioning while he's been out. But I do think it's fantastic news that he'll be back!!!

[DoGood]

http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=14261

I'm glad that Springs might be back but I was mostly surprised about Ade Jimoh coming back immediately after his irregular heartbeat got him sick on the sidelines. Great news.

Is there any CB in the league that can hang with Galloway? Lets line up Moss to defend him and just see who wins.

Or have ST put him on his butt a few times, then see if he wants to catch any more balls.

Are you asking ST to Roy William/TO him, because if you are, I am with you. He will have all offseason to recover. Is that mean?

[bgforever]

I think we tried a few packages where ST was to do this to a key WR and they simply mismatched the TE on a corner. With Rogers back and still possibly getting a FULL house back for the entire secondary, with Morton getting some playing time, they can be my guest :)

[DoGood]

This is GREAT news but I'm excited to have Sean Taylor in the secondary against TB this time. We are a MUCH better team when he is back there and he is on fire.

Sprinkle in Grif and LaVar and gets even better. Arrington has good games against these guys. I think he elevates on these guys for some reason. Maybe because they have always been known to D up.

He better show up this game because his stock is dropping quick, after 2 tackles in the most important game of the season. He needs to make an impact if he really wants to stay a Skin.

[GWBlitzST]

I knew he would play, otherwise they would have put him on IR last week. I'm still very happy that he is going to practice all week.

I couldn't see the game, how did he look, tubby? slow? flat? what was up?

[danny's stogie]

I think the optimal word is poo. I was dissapointed because he looked good against the Giants.

He looked alright in the first half when the D was struggling and he was getting pressure, but then he disappeared for the rest of the game.

excellent point.....id like to see ST ring galloway's bell a few times.

this news is so good to hear since eve been hearing about all those other injury from yesterday. i like to receive the bad news before the good anyway. :)

[ryflan47]

No, not to injure him. I just want him to be afraid... be very afraid.

Not injure, just hamper for the game.

[ihatedallas]

Thank god...but at least i know Taylor, clark, and Prioleu(sp) all are excellent in giving help over the top...Morton and jimoh didn look HORRIBLE in the game...i dont know why they dont ever help harris lol.

[OCSKINSFAN]

I have been a big Lavar fan, but he does not appear to be the same. He disappeared in the Eagles game. The LA I knew never did that - he was always highly visible and made an impact. He does not appear to have the same fire/intensity, speed, etc. I don't know if he is still hampered by injuries or what (though he is still better than Holdman).

Wow, BG that was GOOD!:lol1:

[colkurtz]

This is great news. I watched Harris at the Eagles game and he just scares me - he gives too much cushion and gets burnt too often. The Bucs will key on his all game long.

Carlos Rogers is a key player in this defense and we really need him.........

[WorldBFree76]

That is awesome news, I was anxious to hear whether or not Rogers could play or not. Now we need Springs to heal quick :-P

Hello everybody, It's my first post, I'm from Spain and want to tell you I have learnt a lot about my favourite NFL team here. I love everything in burgundy and gold, and this year is the beginning of something special in DC . About this thread, I think Rogers will become one of the best CB's in the league, he has all the tools, he is a stud against the run, my concerns is if would be able to stay healthy. Hail redskins!!

Welcome aboard spanishskinfan!!

I think from what we have seen from Rogers that he definitely has the potential to be great. It is very encouraging to know he is coming back.

Hope to see you stck around and drop in your POV more often!

[akhhorus]

Having Griffin and Taylor back will make a huge difference. I forgot that we didn't have Taylor for that game.

[smoak]

I totally agree! I only mentioned Griffin b/c on almost every play you see two and sometimes three guys go after # 96. I love it!

The biggest key to this game is Samuels get a lockdown on Rice (IMHO). We need to shut that dude out b/c he can kill teams when he is on.

[skins74]

I can sleep alot better knowing Carlos will be playing. It would be really nice to have a healthy Springs back too!

[danny's stogie]

Having Griffin and Taylor back will make a huge difference. I forgot that we didn't have Taylor for that game.

I think Griff's return is key. During that the stretch where he was out GW turned the defense from blitz happy to cover 2. The Tampa game was the only one in which GW decided to let the dogs loose, obviously because Simms was still green, however, despite the mediocrity of the Tampa Oline, the blitzes were picked up easily. It was the key to the game, no Skin could get anywhere near Simms. With Griff back and putting pressure on the pocket from the interior the blitz packages will work this time.
