You know what, I honestly believe that if the pass is not tipped, Rogers overthrows the ball on the last drive and that was with very little situational pressure. Rogers was not on fire. I don't know what would have happened but I know this, I would have liked to have seen what would have happened.

I look at the tipped ball sequence differently. Unless they are facing the quarterback, our cornerbacks do not pick up passes well. In this instance, Scandrick's full attention was keeping up with the receiver. Scandrick would have given himself an excellent opportunity for a pick-six interception if he had glanced back at Rodgers for a split second. Scandrick is our best cover DB and this is his main weakness. I do not put cornerback at the top of the free agency/draft wish list. That honor goes to the defensive line in my opinion but I would love seeing some new blood at the position with better awareness for the ball while in coverage--whether it's man or zone.

Probably because our corners clock in their head is set for 10 seconds of needed coverage......he was getting ready for a double move.

Holy cow. Is that what that show's always like? I want to pour bleach in my own eyes.

It's a shtick. Steven A plays a part and he plays it well. He's never played a down in his life and he's arguing with Chris Carter.
He did the same thing with Eddie George. And Eddie said the same thing. Deep down Steven knows those guys are right but it wouldn't be funny to agree with them.
