I think this yr Rock is let go for a more faster/shiftier back who can do all the jobs, KR/PR/RB/WR.

Definitely agree. I love that Rock never leaves us in a bad position and that he isn't afraid, but sometimes you see a hole and it's like damn man, why didn't you go for that instead of just hitting the 2 guys that you're one blocker is trying to hold back?
And the rule, I don't even know why that exists, it's ridiculous. If someone is a couple yards out is that no longer a wedge? no 3 man? what about 2 up front, 2 behind.. or 2 groups of 2 side by side with a gap in the middle?
did we really lose many (or any) players to a 3 man wedge last year in the NFL?
