Dirt, "amazing insightful post" read, your genius is not in vain. Even read it prior to your Fuuuuuu post at that!

Re: Rocky Returns

Well I just said 3-4 about 50% of the time, that doesn't mean 4-3 the other 50%

You are correct - - and as I mentioned in my original query that got us off on this line of discussion, I saw several other defensive formations during last year that were "not 3-4 fronts".

The point here is that far too many people have simplistically assigned the Redskins' defensive "issues" last year to a "change in the scheme". Well, that change - - the one for which the players were ill-equipped to execute properly - - was only out there about half the time.
Aside: If changing schemes and coordinators is all that bad for players to adjust to, then the Redskins might be a playoff team this year. Nineteen teams in the NFL have changed at least one of their coordinators; the Redskins have not. If you believe strongly in the "changing coordinators is a tough thing" nonsense, you can get 8-5 in more than one place that the Skins will win 7 games or more.
Since this thread started out to be about Rocky McIntosh, let me say that the Redskins defensive woes last year should not be hung around the necks of the linebackers any more than any other part of the defense. Of the 3 linebackers who saw the most time last year, Fletcher and Orakpo are more than adequate at their positions and Rocky did not embarrass himself out there on the field.

It would appear that Rocky and his agent severely overestimated the level of interest out in NFL-land for Rocky's services at an elevated salary level. But that fact - - a large factor in his re-signing with the Skins - - should not lead to the conclusion that Rocky is a guy who cannot get out of his own way. He can play in a 3-4 and he can play in a 4-3. He will not be a star in either system but he will be adequate in both. Someone said earlier on here that he is not spectacular but he is solid. Whoever said that is spot-on...
