It's getting crowded in the backfield (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/16/AR2005081601838.html)

Rock's just not big enough, though I like his pass catching ability. We need someone to punch the ball in the end zone and get first downs when it's 3rd and 1. I say keep Nemo, he's 250+ pounds.

Nemo! He has better size and better speed (I think). I love Rock, but I think Nemo has more to offer in terms of playmaking ability, and on special teams.

I like Rock but if it's a competition between he and Nemo, I like Nemo's upside.

I am a big Rock fan but I think he isn't quite what they're looking for. He needs to really blow the staff away on special teams to stick it would seem. Hopefully he can catch on somewhere esle is they do have to let him go. He is an NFL player.
Was anybody else surprised to see Rock was 11/14 on 3rd and 1's in 2003? That's pretty damn good.
Still, I like what Nemo brings to the table in terms of sheer size. I can see him filling the Gerald Riggs type role for us... punching through the line on short yardage and goal line situations.
Rock certainly won't make this decision easy though. He's solid on special teams and was pretty impressive catching the ball on Sat. night.
I'm hoping we can find a way to keep them both, but if I had to choose one I'd keep Nemo and reluctantly part ways with Rock.

I like both of them, I hope there's room. Nemo looked really good in that game though...
I wish they had Nemo on Madden!!!!
Me too.
I was disappointed they didn't include him and White, but I'm sure both will be included on roster updates assuming they both make the team.

Can't we keep both and maybe drop one of the 73 Safeties we have on the current roster?
