Probably cause other teams scored so much either with TD's or Field Goals. but I pointed out that he was like #23 on the list of all the KRers last yr with like 25 yrds per carry. Being #23 is not bad but it's not top 10 either.
Now take a moment and look at his Rushing yrds. I mean if he's going to be listed as a RB then lets look at his RB stats. He's way, way, way, down the page. I think JC had more yrds Rushing. I guess that's cause he sucks right? wrong. If he's not being utilized as a RB then it's unfair to compare his stats. No different then Mason who has not been utilized this preseason cause they are looking at Alridge, Dorsey, and Thomas.
but....I'll repeat what I wrote earlier, why does the RB have to be the KR? I mean if Thomas has another great showing like he did last game then why couldn't the KR be a WR. Thus eliminating the whole Rock issue all together. Maybe that's what Cerrato was eluding to. If Thomas has a good showing then he can be the KR/WR cause I think we all agree Kelly has surpassed him and Mitchell I think looks better also. Then the team can let Rock go and keep Mason and Alridge. That would be Portis, Betts, Mason, Alridge and Sellers. 5. 
Not that it will or won't happen just throwing it out there. |
No no. We can't let Rock go. our team will fall apart and our ST will not be best in the league and we wont have anyone to back up Portis or Betts if on of them gets injured no way. Our team would just go under. We can't possibly do that. Rock can't be replaced. [end sarcasm]
This is the point I am trying to make. I am by now means trying to put you near the targets that's on my back. I think we have gotten use to mediocrity and for us to move forward some times we have to take risks and shakes things up.
I totally agree with your statement above. Does anyone realize what happened last year when Portis and Betts went down or am I just dreaming this? We signed TTB when we had a RB on our roster. At that point was returking kicks more important than filling in for our injured 1st and 2nd RB or either spelling one of them when the other was hurt? Dag that says it all. Some people are so smart they don't have common sense and are loyal to a fault. This is a business. Not popularity contest. I want to win. If we had a decent back last year when Betts & Portis got hurt. Our season might have turned a little different. Like I said where was Rock. Oh returning kicks to the 30...but I am a half wit..what the f ever!!
