He is a better blocker than the rest of the TEs and MM seems to think that the pass catching problems are more of a confidence issue.IF Manuel's problems are because he was hurt, than maybe he can surprise us. If he could produce and give Rouse a season to learn the system, it would be nice but I would put him on a very short leash. A couple of explosive plays and I would drop him.KGB could be an elite 3rd down pass rusher but I don't know if we can pay that much for a player that only plays part-time. If Jenkins goes down, would we be better off with a liability against the run or a slightly weaker pass rusher that can slow the run as well? Could KGB's weakness against the run be over-emphasized last year because he had a rookie (Hawk) playing behind him? Or could his inability have inflated Hawk's numbers? Maybe we need to look at the difference in yards per carry against KGB/Hawk compared to the other side of Kampman/Poppinga. Ferguson is signed through 2008. I would say that he has the toughest road ahead of him to make the team. If he does squeak through the next couple of pre-seasons, I would guess that he would not be re-signed.</blockquote>
