I think that we will keep Rock, but I see him compeating more for the back up spot to Portis more so than the H-Back spot.

I agree. Gibbs, Bugel and Rock himself have indicated that Rock isn't being considered for the H-back spot, and will only be competing for the backup runningback spot. Rock has practiced exclusively at runningback in the minicamps so far, and I think that's where he's the best fit.

Sellers seems to have the inside track on the starting H-back role, with Cooley likely to gradually move in as he gains experience and confidence in his assignments. Kozlowski is also in the mix there, and Baxter probably would be as well. Kozlowski and Baxter both have had extensive experience in H-back type roles, and their knowledge of the position will be invaluable to Sellers and Cooley.

Ultimately, I think the athleticism of Cooley and Sellers will earn them the top two spots at H-back, and the two of them will essentially split time this season in that role. Koz and Bax will stay on as veteran backups at both TE and H-back.

That's what my crystal ball says, anyway...
