"Gibbs doesn’t use fullbacks so in a bid to make the team, Rock has gone down from 225 to about 215 and he's looked pretty good."

Interesting. I actually thought Rock was a bit bigger -- like 240 or something. In fact, last year's Sporting News Pro Football yearbook has him listed at 239. Then again, players' weights do fluctuate throughout the season.

Rock seems more ideal as a Ricky Ervins type of RB as opposed to a fullback anyway. 5'7" and 215 is pretty small, but he runs hard (remember the 4th and inches against Seattle last year inside the Skins own 30 yard line?).

I sure would like to see him make the roster. Is there enough room for him with Portis, Betts and Morton, along with all the H-backs?
