Rock or Nemo?

vote and discuss

It's getting crowded in the backfield

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.

Redskins_P · 08-17-2005, 01:09 PM

I wish they had Nemo on Madden!!!!

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

FRPLG · 08-17-2005, 01:15 PM

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.

MTK · 08-17-2005, 01:15 PM

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...

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.

RedskinRat · 08-17-2005, 02:12 PM

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

BossHog · 08-17-2005, 02:14 PM

I think Nemo was brought into compete for whatever position Sellers currently has. In my opinion, Nemo hasn't quite knocked off the Rock or penalty-prone Sellers as H-back, RB, or special teamer. Isn't it amazing how some plays look so good when the ball carrier waits for his blocks (or possibly he's slower than his lineman)? Nemo's last name does look kind of sweet on Madden though. If Nemo fumbles the ball again he's get the ax along with Combs, period.

TheMalcolmConnection · 08-17-2005, 02:16 PM

Yeah, I vote for getting rid of a safety.

lol..how 'bout that! but they probably won't, however. nemo brings a little more to the table, and he's yet to fully pick up the system. so his upside, at this point, is probably a little more than rock.

Nemo moves piles - and he's cheaper than Rock.

Sellers has been moved to TE.
