| Re: Rocky Returns Shanahan does not like making anyone feel complacent. Rocky might be "back", but as the dude brought in to scare the 1st teamers, not the dude who is a 1st teamer.

| Re: Rocky Returns I think it way too early to be giving the ILB job Riley or any other player. Let it be earned in the preseason games against starting offensive lines. Not the second and third string lines. Has Riley been handed the starting position in camp? I have not seen that mentioned by any coach anywhere. I doubt the depth chart in Training camp will be the same as game 1 depth chart. I bet Rocky is being brought as insurance. Would not be surprised if he gets cut come September. |

I'm not bitching though -- if there's absolutely nobody else available and you need someone with a pulse to fill the position, fine. Obviously no other team gave to shakes and a doo about him. His career highlights could speak to that. As others have said, it wouldn't be a surprise if he's not even with the team on Sept. 11. In the meantime, I'll find a way to endure another preseason of his glaring non-existence on the field. | |

| Re: Rocky Returns ^ I agree. The guy had huge potential and upside out of Miami...he's big, fast (4.65 40 in college) and very athletic, but when it came to fundamentals...something went wrong. Great guy and COULD have been great, but it just never clicked for him. He was far better in the 4-3 years than last season though. I wouldn't call him a bust, just a disappointment.

| Re: Rocky Returns pretty low risk move here. we bring back a guy who has been with the franchise for a while on a 1 year deal who will at least provide depth and has started for us for the last several years. i like the move.

| Re: Rocky Returns Rocky like many players in this defense last year made a lot of mistakes. A LOT. I wanted an upgrade as well, maybe Barnett, oh well. Lets not act like he is camp fodder though, he made 155 tackles last season. Played his best games in weeks 12-16. If he is healthy he will start beside London IMO. |

| Re: Rocky Returns I don't know why you guys are so down on Rocky. He's nothing spectacular, but he's a solid starter and we basically signed him for no money. We definitely gave up too much for him to draft him, but we made a lot of horrible moves back then.

| Re: Rocky Returns Rocky was serviceable. I never thought he was terrible. We are in sore need of LBs across the board. I bet we draft 2 LBs next year. |
