"It may take one guy to fill all those four. It may take four guys to fill all four. That's the difference. It's not like when you lose a fullback and say, 'Well, we'll just go to another formation.' In this case, you can lose four slots, which is critical. So you need guys that are versatile like Rock, who can do a lot of things and play a lot of places."

Just throwing this out there....Rock is the KR. If he partakes in kickoffs I wouldn't know it cause someone else made all the tackles last yr mostly Thomas and a LB but I forget who. Rock does not partake in PR or atleast he's not significant cause he's not the runner, but if he's blocking then you can't tell me someone else can't block....they are football players. As for Punting I think he has been the last man back prior to the kicker setting up as a blocker ....I can understand that.

I asked once and will again. Can anyone show like a layout of who plays on special teams and their position they play and any back ups to those players?

I would like to see that also. I was actually trying to google it and ran across an article that I had missed before about who leads the team in ST tackles and players mentioned on special teams. Seems that Khary Campbell was the top tackler 4 years straight. Which puzzles me because some people argue we should keep people because of special team needs only. He also played on defense not just one unit. But the leading tackler got cut. Notice the title of this article.

In other news, Vick has been cleared to play in week 3. Our first game with Filthy is week 7.

Thats excellent news! By week 7, McNabb and Westbrook should both be hurt and Vick will have been suspended again for some sort of thuggery. Our #1 defense will be facing Kevin Kolb and no running game. I predict over half the Filthy fans leave the stadium by half-time; while the other half commit the largest group ritual suicide in history.

Well hopefully this gives the Skins 4 games to see how the Eagles are trying to use him so we can game plan.

Good he'll be our new Roy Williams especially with his chronic case of Fumbleitis.

Also if Montgomery becomes a surprise cut does that mean that Dixon gets his spot?

possibly, but I could also see it going to Wynn... it depends on how many DL we keep.
