He'll be part of a platoon, playing on first and second downs...

Keeping him "fresh" throughout the game; Green Bay has done this with their DL rotation and have had success...

Good point.

Remi isn't an all-pro, but he does flash occasionally. Having Remi as the 3rd man in the rotation will help Rogers and just as importantly help Remi, not to mention Ellis.

I also don't think we've finished addressing the position.

Can't wait to see what kind of impact he makes.

Ellis had a good year last year, think he got about 6 sacks or something like that. Watch the plays he's in, he always gets blocked by 2 guys, usually the centre and left guard.
Now....Shaun rodgers will take that double team away from ellis, Sed can beat one guy on his own, not to mention that Rodgers is also just a great space filler!

I agree that he is going to open things up for Ellis. Rogers has great ability when he stays motivated. I think finally playing on a winning football team is going to keep him that way. He may not put up great statistics, but it is what he will do for the other members of the defensive line that will show up the most. Ellis has the potential to beat almost anyone if he's only got one person blocking him. Rogers will make sure that happens a lot opening Sed up for possibly a double-digit sack season...if there is one.

	People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
