Where are they now - Anthony Hargrove

Looks like opportunity is knocking for T.Hargrove - link here.

With Tyoka Jackson almost certain to miss tonight's game with Tampa Bay because of a hamstring injury, rookie Anthony Hargrove could see his most extensive action of the season in the defensive line rotation.

A defensive end by trade, Hargrove was in for eight plays last week against Seattle, including one at defensive tackle. Bryce Fisher also slid inside in passing situations against the Seahawks, a role Jackson normally has.

Without Jackson, "It just means Tony's going to get more reps, I believe," coach Mike Martz said. "And Erik (Flowers) is ready. He's really practiced very well in the last few weeks.

"But really, our starters predominantly play most of the snaps. We've not rotated like we've done in the past."

Hargrove, a third-round pick from Georgia Tech, has six tackles in limited duty this season. In somewhat of a surprise given his potential as a pass-rusher, Hargrove has performed better against the run so far than he has rushing the passer.

"He's going to be a real good player," Martz said. "He's learning. But the effort and the physical ability are certainly there. So we've just got to keep working with him. Get him in there. The only way you learn that stuff is to play. Unfortunately, at times you're going to make some mistakes, but that's the only way you'll get any better."
