Really curious how the NFL's ban on the wedge formation messes with ST's play this year.

I am one that doesn't think highly of his running skills in special teams play. Yes, he does rank up there fairly highly in return yards, and I give him total props for his north / south approach. What he lacks in talent, he makes up for it in intelligence. ARE should pay more attention to Rock. However, if we could find someone else that could go north / south like Rock does, he'd get even MORE yards. We have good blocking on ST, Rock doesn't make his own holes with moves. I just think we can do better. He has 0 breakaway speed meaning anyone could have done what he did if they just move forward instead of side to side.
