Karma has to even things out at some point, right?? (I hope!)

Well, we've been in the shadows since our last SB win. That's over a decade and half ago. I don't get it. Carma should have already shined on us.

Not that my name gives it away, but I'm a big advocate of Rock. Just as Brian Mitchell became my favorite Skin growing up (with his gritty and no-holds-barred return style), Rock has earned the new honors.

My point here is to float Rock as a possible replacement for Sean, should he learn the techniques a free safety employs. It is not likely the Skins would consider such a role change for No. 31, but let's list the attributes that would qualify Rock for secondary action:

1. He is a smart player who rarely misses tackling assignments (when playing kick-return defense).

2. Rock delivers the big hits and could possibly instill fear in an opponent.

3. He can shift his running route in the open field, which would bode well for fine free safety execution.

4. Rock could still double as the kick returner.

What do you think?

Rock's a running back so I don't think he would be able to make that kind of a switch. If you're thinking about switching a current player to free--I would nominate Springs--as moving from CB to FS is probably easier and has been done before.

I like Fred Smoot but I don't want him play QB...Rock would get abused at safety. Mainly because he's 5'7" (not many safeties that small) and as far as I know has no vertical

Clearly I'd rather bring back Ade Jimoh for 16 games as the starting safety before putting Rock Cartwright there. It's OK to admire Cartwright for his special teams play but when the dawn of reality arrives, that's all he is - - a special teams player.

If you think along those lines, Lorenzo Alexander plays offense and defense and special teams so he must be REALLY versatile. How about converting him to a WR...?
