Rocky McIntoch Appreciation Thread

It appears that he simply wasn't ready last year.

Last year is over, let's move on and stop crying over the past.

What I don't understand is why the FO was trying to get Lance Briggs? They saw how hard the guy worked this off season. Didn't they have any confidence that he would carry his hard work to the field? They drafted him and now they want to go out and get someone else who plays his position. For what? That's almost like drafting JC and bringing in Drew Brees. It sort of shows you the real incompetence of our FO. But I hope like hell Rocky takes to the reg season. He looks like the playmaker we have been missing on defense.

I'm still not convinced the Skins were genuinely interested in Briggs. I think that Snyder may have been doing Rosenhaus a favor and letting him use the Skins as a bargaining chip.

You may be on to something. Just because a teams name comes up, doesn't mean they're always interested. Remember this is business, and while we didn't go after Briggs, remember the Skins still have some of Rosenhaus' clients on our roster. He may have to return the favor later on.

I was a major Dale Lindsay basher for his unwillingness to take any blame for Rocky's lack of progress last year. McIntosh has made greater strides in 4 months under Kirk Olivadotti than he made in a whole year under Lindsay. Based on what we're seeing, Rocky will be well worth the price Gibbs paid to trade up for him. The linebackers will be a strength of what may be a top-10 defense again.

We should try keep Olividatti a secret. He'll be coordinating someone else's defense at this rate. The LBers look awesome. The whole D looks great.

Except, Carlos was still giving ten yards in certain situations. I hate that. You're not racing a horse.

Yes you could be right here. But it just makes them look silly. Not that the FO cares what us fans think. Plus it sure gives us something to talk about.

That's an interesting point... Is this speculation or do you have something to base this on?

I disagree, I think it would give us a Rosenhaus favor down the road. No matter what you think of him... he's a very influencial player in the NFL.

Exactly. Like I've said before, make Drew happy now and then let's just see what happens next offseason when his client DT Tommie Harris is available

Though in all honesty, I think Harris stays in Chicago. Still, one can dream

I agree. The Bears are some cheap asses but they seem to be coming around. They signed Lovie, gave big $ to one of their corners and they somehow kept Briggs. No way Harris leaves town.
