Dorsey is a good return man (eventhough he looks better than Rock). But not a good running back. Mason is a good running back from what I have seen the last few years. So if Marko makes the team could it in the end affect Rock being a Redskins. Because we can use Devin on Kick Returns since Mitchell has came on strong and continues to impove. I think could be the best solution in the end.
Maybe I'm missing something but how do you get that Dorsey is better returner than Rock? Our biggest problem is on punts and the lack of protection. I've noticed that when our guy fields a punt he is surrounded by the other team and has no where to go and I think that also explains why we think Are dances aroun so much. He is looking for something when nothing is really there.

Okay I will explain it better. If the coaching staff wanted to keep Marko Mitchell and Marcus Mason. Rock could be the odd man out. Because Devin Thomas and ARE can return punts. Someone said a started should return kicks/punts well ARE did. Saying that with Marko Mitchell onthe team. Also climbing up the depth chart. We would risk as much putting Devin back to return kicks. Even Moss returned on last year. This long love affair wit h rock is killing me. Thayt's the problem with our team. Its okay to love a player nad call him a life long redskins. But do you love him or your team more. I rather have someone that can produce and not have someone who is taking up a roster spot on special team and special teams still has looked like crap the last few years. He is not a good running back and he also can never return one past the 30. So dont pull out any stats unless there is some touchdowns on it. I dont think our team will fall apart if he is cut.....

Be real!!

Right now it doesn't look like we really care how well a 3rd back runs it, that's why we have Cartwrights our 3rd back and that's why we called in Alexander. I think that we care how well he returns kicks more than anything.
