I guess you could be right. I guess if the special teams blocking on kick offs and punts are as bad as they are now I guess it could be worse if Rock was not there to motivate them to do their jobs they are getting paid to do. I guess out of 60 minutes of actual playing Rocks leadership skills on special teams is pretty important due to the amount of time they are on the field.
