Carlos Rogers, the 49ers' cornerback who returned Santonio Holmes' fumble for a touchdown, thought the Jets packed it in early on Sunday, Conor Orr of the Newark Star-Ledger reports. “It kinda seemed like, after a while they just, I know, looking at their defense, they didn't want to be out there,†said Rogers on Sirius XM radio today. “And after that it's like, man, these guys don't really want to play the game. You know, it's pretty much over. "You could see it happening,†Rogers said. “It kinda shocked me just because, you know, a lot of guys were saying on the sideline, ‘Oh, they don't want to tackle, they don't want to do this, they don't want to do that.' That's a Rex Ryan defense. That's a Rex Ryan team. Rogers said it was out of character for a Ryan defense to behave that way. “His defense, you know, plays throughout. And that was the shocking point about it.... It really kind of shocked me to see that them guys were ready to go get in the showers." Source: The Redzone
yep, it was very obvious the effort was not there. hopefully they cash it in for the entire season so we can watch them flounder all season.
When the niners are on, this seems to be the trend. I mean the Bucs gave up according to VD last year during the 48-3 dismembering.
