I don't know which was the case, but I do know this: Rocky will be entering the 2007 season as a rookie in terms of useful game experience.

I don't know that the reason we never saw McIntosh was because he didn't know the system. Carlos Rogers wasn't inserted particularly quickly as a rookie either and that was when Walt Harris looked like he couldn't get burnt any worse. I don't think Williams likes throwing young kids into the lineup right away. I really hope that was part of the reason we didn't see much of him.
