One thing irks me about Rock Cartwright...he is a great, scrappy player with many rare intangibles qualities but he does NOT have a nose for the line to gain (1st down/goal line/etc). He likes to bounce it out too much and spends way too much time on his cutbacks. It's really starting to piss me off to have to watch him dance around the line of scrimmage instead of getting positive yardage. I almost wanna say that we should keep him for strictly special team activities.

Cartwright when asked plays well coming in as a 3rd string Rb. Last night he averaged around 4.7 yards per play and is around 4.5 career average. He is not a bounder of the ball so he has to find the open lanes. So if averaging 4.5 is not positive yards then I guess your right.
