Yeah, Cartwright plays on every part of ST except for the FG team. He plays them well too.

So that's.....KR, Kick offs, and are you adding punting cause he does not PR? I think we could get more out of Dorsey at this point maybe KR,PR, and RB. but don't forget we do have Thomas, Hall, Moss, Betts actually did KR/PR in the past also and did it very well.

What the heck does this mean? I keep seeing people write this. All Rock does is special teams. His main focus is a KR. That's it. nuff said. He has two jobs and if your going to get paid to do them I would hope he would do them well. He KR's and tackles the ball carrier.

Lets see, take out Rock....replace with Thomas, Moss, Alridge, Dorsey. Hmm, sounds like he's expendable to me. and....those other four actually do something besides KR. In other words we would be paying them to be WR's or actual RB's besides KRing. WOW.

My point exactly and why I started this thread. its really common sense. If Rock was a world beater at KR. Then I would be like keep him. But he is not that valuable and he takes up a spot on the team that we could use to add depth ar RB or LB. HE doesn't run the ball doesn't catch it. So we have WRs and RBs that can return kicks. So why waste a spot on someone so average and not that important to our success? There is a difference between liking someone because they are a fan favorite and wanting to win the superbowl with the best plaeyrs possible....

While Rock is not the best returner he is one of the better returners in the NFL and does not fumble. You say keep someone like Alridge or Dorsey but what makes them any better then Rock and why would we think they would see more playing time?
