Probably a dumb question

When you look at the pictures from Opportunity outside of its crater, there are almost no rocks of any appreciable size. This is completely different from the other four mars landing sites. Yet, there is bedrock in this area, opportunity is in a small crater, and there is a fairly large crater not that far way. Why aren’t there big chunks of bedrock all over the place from the impacts?
