Yes, and if Rocky doesn't earn his starting job, Marshall will get it.
The thing about Marshall is that he knows all the LB positions. From a team standpoint, it makes more sense to have Rocky concentrate on his one position and try to earn it while having Marshall compete at all positions for depth. I'd rather have Marshall come of the bench for an injured LB than to have him starting outside and then switch him inside if Flecher gets injured and then bring in Rocky off the bench.
In other words, Rocky doesn't have enough expereince to be the primary backup at all LB positions. We hope that he can be good enough to earn one spot.
