Not saying they were his fault. Saying that so many people were saying keep Rock because of his special teams and experieince and his return ability. If you are the captain. You are the leader of your speical teams. Not saying he is personally responsible as far a missing the tackles. But if that is the sole reason you are being kept and you can't evne coming in as the 3rd RB when your second RB gets hurt. Your not doing anything on returns?

These were the reasons that were given to me when the debates over keep mason on the team arised. But I haven't seen Rock's pay-off so far..

Hopefully I am wrong. Because I said we would need that depth at RB also incase CP or LB got hurt. I hope Shaun Alexander shows up and plays well. Maybe our offensive line will be the difference. If he's a dud. Then I think it was a bad move. But it may not be because we are not losing anything in this. I just think Mason would have been better because he has been with the team and knows the players and scheme. Plus he is "slightly" younger and has more upside and would be more vaulable to us in the future then Shaun Alexander.
