Rolle

[psuasskicker]

Pretty clear that he's become a Corey Fuller type liability...

Yeah, from what i have seen today, it looks like the game plan of the Panthers was to go after him, their run game really didn't get going but damn them with those deep balls....

Well, looks like we will be 4-2 going into the bye! Not the end of the world but we really need some work on scoring TDs

[Brandon]

Exactly! Shit, I don't want to hear about Gary Baxter being 'burnt toast', because he was never that bad.

Samari Rolle has been awful this whole season.

[LBoogy]

Rolle blew it. Rex Ryan blew it with this high risk bullshit.

Steve Smith needs to be double covered at all times.

[Purpleguy]

Are there any other over the hill Titans we can pick up? I think I saw Eddie George hosting a video game show. He could use work. Hell let's go back to the Houston Days. Is Earl Campbell still alive? What about Warren Moon? His arm can't be any worse than "air" McNair's.

You called Baxter toast? I've seen better looking toast on my Denny's grand slam breakfast at 4 AM than Rolle.

[Merlin]

High risk = occassional failure

don't do it unless you back it up and today Samari could not

[GreenWave52]

I like how everyone who called Rolle better than C-mac all last year (and we should then dump McAlister) is nowhere to be found. Rolle is still a good corner who had an awful day today. That was obvious at halftime. Rex got outcoached and left an overmatched player on an island.

Rolle has been getting burned all year, not just today. Bottom line is that he can't keep up with fast WRs anymore.

[RavenTD]

What was the graphic,Rolle let 8 of 11 passes get completed on him for 171yds and 2 TD's.That is going to play with anyones mind.

Coverage is his strong point,looks like that just went out the window.

[Merlin]

Saw the tape of the last Steve Smith play

Even though Rolle played horrible today, that was clearly Ed Reed's fault -- he bit on the short route and didn't cover up top.

I thought the plan was to double team Smith with Rolle and Reed -- where was the former DPOY most of the time????:eek:

I think you need to blame that on Rex Ryan and his overaggressiveness. I don't think Reed would take it upon himself to move towards the line in that situation.

That being said, Rolle was definitely burnt toast all afternoon.

To be fair, Rolle DID outplay CMac last year. But I agree with the sentiment of the post.

[StingerNLG]

To be fair, Rolle DID outplay CMac last year.

Agreed, but to be double fair C-Mac on his good day is superior to Rolle on his good day.

[edreedisgod20]

Agreed, but to be double fair C-Mac on his good day is superior to Rolle on his good day.

Cmac on a good day is better than any cornerback in the NFL. It's been nice seeing some of those good days again.

Let's not put any blame on the front seven who did absolutely NOTHING to put pressure on Delhomme. You can't allow an NFL QB - especially one with Steve Smith - to have 5-6 seconds to "eenie meenie minee mo" in the pocket!

Yes, Rolle played badly - but this was a TEAM effort.

[Beerracuda]

CamdenYard, I said that at halftime - that I thought we needed to put much more pressure on Delhomme. We didn't do it, and today's final is the result.

[52decleetzu]

Lets all not forget that Rolle had that foot injury and if you think back to last year with CMac,we later found out that he was playing hurt the whole year.

Not trying to make excuses for the guy but having a nagging foot injury doesnt help if you are playing CB,and on the one sideline TD it looked like he had decent coverage but the ball was thrown perfectly.The other one he obviously was supposed to have help from Reed and didnt,so I definitely wouldnt put that on him.

No, Rolle is not a good corner anymore based on how he's played this year. He has been a MAJOR liability all year. Carolina went after both CMac and Rolle, and CMac wasn't giving much up. Soon as they saw Rolle couldn't cover (he couldn't stick man-to-man with their THIRD receiver on an obvious deep sideline route???), they went after him all day. Clearly we made a horrible mistake leaving Smith one on one with him on that final drive. But Rolle has been awful all year.

Problem is, we don't have the CB depth to take advantage of it.

We were blitzing him all day. Carolina's OL is just really good and bottled our rushers up most of the day. It happens sometimes. I mean, it sucked that it happened. But it's not like we weren't trying to put pressure on him.

I was thinking the same thing.

He looked really slow out there today.

[PARavensJeff]

Rolle has not been right all year & today was another example of how he is the weakest link & teams will continue to throw at him because of his play this year. Unless he gets help or we find a better option, the view of today will continue the rest of the season.

Effort and achievement are two different things. Fact is we have done very little up front to help our secondary for three straight games. It's starting to hurt us.

Rolle is to the defense what the offense is to the Ravens.....WEAK!! Week after week, we are seeing the same touchdowns going against Rolle! Unacceptable.....

[GreenWave52]

I have a feeling that Rolle's foot is really slowing him down. Whenever Rolle gets beat it isn't usually because he is totally out of position but that he seems to have one less gear than the WRs he is covering.
