[he couldn't get 3rd/4th and 1, he couldn't return well, couldn't pass protect, and wasn't anything special as far as coverage teams. It's no surprise we kept cartwright over him, and there's no use keeping a 4th RB if he's worthless on special teams./QUOTE]
Yes I'm a Mason Bandwagoner....so help me with what Rock does? He can't pass block either, couldn't get a 3rd/4th and 1, and is worthless at RB. He does more running around the back field then running up field. Hell he got caught more in the back field during preseason then Mason. He had one good run. About the only thing he can do is run kick offs. WOW. He's a special teamer. One position. We should have let him go also. Betts can do his job as well as back up RB.
Hell, Betts is one dementional. He is back up RB. If this team was so concerned about getting younger they would have kept Mason and got rid of Rock. I guess when your job has only been to be a kick returner for what close to 10 yrs then I guess you better be good at the one thing your supposed to do. I certainly hope nothing happens to Portis this yr cause if we have to depend on Rock as back up we will start seeing the Texas two step behind the line and the fumbles he's known for when he was given the chance to fill in.

you either don't remember rock playing, are WAY over exaggerating mason's talent level, or are smoking something.
last time rock really played RB (2005) he had 200 yards, 2 TDs, and a 7.4 ypc average... damn that's bad :P
last time betts played RB he had a 1,000 yard season.
i can't wait to toss those two for someone who can't even break an NFL roster and has shown nothing worth mentioning against NFL starters.
seriously, this is the preseason mccullough is a pro-bowler, lumsden is going to have 1,000 yards, look look! the coach talked good about him thing all over again.
where'd all the anthony mix hype go? that's what i thought. call me when he has a 100 yard game. until then there's absolutely no basis to say he's better than the guys we got.
btw, rock had a 7.9ypc average this preseason with 6 catches and 0 fumbles (compared to mason's 4.8ypc and 1 fumble lost), so wtf were you watching?
