I wouldn't have a problem here. With the Betts trade part anyway.

I think there are a number of FA players that are at the same level as Betts, who are becoming free agents. Unless some team is dumb enough to trade with us, I just don't see that happening.

I have a problem seeing Rock as a number 2 honestly. He doesn't have the push or the elusiveness. I know that we all love Rock, just I have a really hard time seeing him as a number 2, especially when number 2s are just as important or more than they've ever been. Imagine if Portis gets hurt.. Rock the starting back? I'd personally rather bring Shawn Alexander back in that case.

That's great news if true. Maybe this guy can do it. I like the looks of that KR video...completely opposite of ARE, he moves north-south VERY quickly instead of east-west-east-backwards-east again-west-down.

[quote=Hamoskinz;527346]Thats a scary thought. I've haven't seen Rock make any headway in the rushing department during the last 3 preseasons and Mason was clearly the better the runner last year.[/quote]

So what's wrong with moving Betts for a pick, making Rock #2 and being able to have Mason on the roster to play his way up the depth chart if you think he's so good? Mason just needs to get ON the roster first. Aldridge could be a kick/punt returner...or both.
