It took the Las Vegas Raiders too long to insert third-round rookie guard Caleb Rogers into the starting lineup. Of course, he was always going to be a project for the coaching staff, but the Raiders' offensive line was struggling so dramatically that Rogers' timeline should have been moved up.
That was especially true when the team's interior offensive line injuries began to pile up. But Pete Carroll and Co. decided that they'd rather play people out of position than give a shot to the first-year player. Rogers even told the media he was starting one week, but days later, he was a healthy scratch.
