There's no real news or anything here, other than that it appears that Rocky McIntosh has the leg up on Lemar Marshall for a starting job at this point. But I'm just a bit excited to see what the young fella can do in our defense. I mean, we know what Marcus Washington is going to give us, and Fletcher is a consistent vet who figures to play well in the middle as he's done his entire career. Rocky would seem to be the real wildcard of the LB group. If he develops into something we could have a real solid LB corps all the way across; and if he plays well against the run then our defense would appear to be balanced personnel-wise, and would represent a threat to attack from either side. Rocky could be a big key for us, I'm excited to watch his progress and see what he can do for us.

Marshall said he met with new linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti, who told him that Washington, Fletcher and Rocky McIntosh would be the starters, but that Marshall would have an opportunity to compete for a first-string job.
