Re: Rock or Nemo?
I haven't and can't vote on one of these guys. I have always liked Rock Cartwright. He played his ass off for us and was one of the better fullbacks in the league and can run the ball as well as a lot of halfbacks. He is undersized and all, but he seems like he could be a core player. I don't know much about Nemo. He did look impressive in the game, but based solely on that game I think I'd go with Cartwright. I want to see if he can catch, and if he has any speed. Rock can move a pile foreward impressively for his size, so I think that negates Nemo's upsides. Hell I just made up my mind. I'm voting for the Rock.

Re: Rock or Nemo?
Rock lost the weight because Gibbs doesn't use small (short) fullbacks (Joe does use players that are technically FB's, but as H-backs), so his best chance was at RB. Keep in mind a couple other things:
Rock is 210-215, but at 5'7" that is still very solid for his height.....he can go "under the pile" as opposed to stretching over it. Nemo looks good (after ONE game), and has the size, but he is a rookie. Also, he was only a 7th round pick...I could see him on the practice squad this year and maybe getting called up if/when there are injuries. Of course the best scenario would be to keep both, but I voted for Rock due to his experience and dependability. |
