I'm sorry for possibly repeating what others may have said but I sorta got the feeling Rock was being given a chance to show case what he can do other then play special teams. I also kinda got the feeling Zorn was testing other kick returners to see if any would be a good fill in for Rock.

I'll agree that Rock is a good return man but if you need depth at other positions then someone has to go and I think Zorn was trying several things that night. I honestly felt Mason out played Rock completely. Rock did nothing other then look like a scared RB being chased all over the field. Atleast Mason would find a whole and run it through. I don't know what Zorn may or may not have said but I got the feeling that Sun. was a test for Rock and if Zorn can find someone who can be a kick returner and play another position...ie; WR, S, or RB that can do the job as well as Rock then Rock may be gone.

I know some have said to me that we kept Westbrook yrs ago and have kept Rock for yrs but keep in mind that was how Gibbs ran things. and maybe Norv but the others used him as a 3rd back/kick returner. I don't think he's all that great at being a RB but is awsome at being a KR.

again sorry if someone has inside info and have been told we will keep 4 and sorry for not reading all the discussion.
