KEY MATCHUP

REDSKINS CB CARLOS ROGERS vs. RAMS WR TORRY HOLT

Torry Holt is in his 10th season but the seven-time Pro Bowl receiver remains a concern for the Redskins’ secondary.

“He’s very dangerous,” Redskins coach Jim Zorn said. “He runs precision routes, he can accelerate and I’ve never seen anybody run corner routes and double moves like him. He can tear you up in a heartbeat and we have to be very careful with him.”

Holt becomes an even bigger option in the passing game now that tight end Randy McMichael is out for the season. He gets Marc Bulger back at starting quarterback.

“Marc’s a very accurate passer and they really communicate well,” Zorn said. “No question, that’s going to be an issue for us.”

Holt is trying to have his ninth straight 1,000-yard season, which would tie Tim Brown for the second-longest streak in league history, and his 82.5-yards a game average is the best in history. He missed the season opener but has 15 catches in three games.

Carlos Rogers, who had reconstructive knee surgery less than a year ago, has improved each week. His interception set up the winning touchdown against Arizona and he leads the Redskins with eight pass break-ups. Injuries have limited Shawn Springs to two games, so Rogers has been assigned to the opposition’s top receiver. Springs expects to play a nickel role so Rogers should get the call the majority of the time.
