Rocky McIntosh

rock has alot of upside but if the dline still stinks it doesnt matter how good rock or the other LB's are. Lets just hope the DL is healthy and Golston can improve off of last year . Maybe we find aother DE after June 1st .

they will be he will be and we will

marshall is a proven starting caliber lb in the nfl, rocky has yet to prove anything as far as i know.

Yes, and if Rocky doesn't earn his starting job, Marshall will get it.

The thing about Marshall is that he knows all the LB positions. From a team standpoint, it makes more sense to have Rocky concentrate on his one position and try to earn it while having Marshall compete at all positions for depth. I'd rather have Marshall come of the bench for an injured LB than to have him starting outside and then switch him inside if Flecher gets injured and then bring in Rocky off the bench.

In other words, Rocky doesn't have enough expereince to be the primary backup at all LB positions. We hope that he can be good enough to earn one spot.

i think a lot of people on this board HOPE that rocky will be good and turning that into "he has the ability to be great"

what out of this guy have you seen that makes you think he has the potential to be great?

lemar got the job done and is very underated obviously by reading this thread.

rocky is fast because hes not that big.

i hope the kid turns out good too, but remember just because we invested a lot in this dude doesnt mean that we should make a huge fan calling for him to start. i think pulling lemar would be a terrible idea personally. i know im not a coach, but lemar was not the reason we were losing games, i think starting rocky is a mistake unless he really is showing impressive looks in camp.

Marshall took a step back last year. Whether it was due to injury or the overall collective collapse of the D who knows, but either way McIntosh is the young stud on the block who's physically a much more talented player.

I don't think it's written in stone that Rocky is starting ahead of Marshall. He's still going to have to solidify himself as the starter in training camp.

what im saying is how much have we seen of him to say hes a much more physically talented player? marshall is a solid player for us and removing him from being a starter just to give rocky time could prove to be a huge mistake. we gave up a lot for him which at the time i didnt and still dont agree with. i hope that all of you prove me wrong and he turns out to be an incredible player, i just am not going to put all of my faith in him just yet, especially to start over a guy that has been good for us the past couple years.

You don't have to see much to be able to make a comparison.

Marshall is solid but he's not anything special from an athletic standpoint. Rocky on the other hand is younger, faster and quicker.

If Williams has already penciled in Rocky as the starter I think that's saying something.

he will and i hope that he does cause he has all the tools to be a good weak side linebacker in the NFL

Any word on Washington's surgery or rehab at all in the DC media guys? Will he be ready to roll come Sept? He is our beast at LB, but he might not be the same guy if the surgery didn't do the trick. We had better hope that Rocky really steps up his game, just in case.
