NWSkins Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think McIntosh will follow in the same footsteps as Kendrell Bell. McIntosh was picked in the early second round and so was Bell. Bell started game 1, blitzed often, and benefited from having great guys around him. He went on to win defensive rookie of the year with 9 sacks and 73 tackles. I think McIntosh, with great guys up front to shed blockers, and guys behind him that will draw attention (Sean Taylor) McIntosh will benefit immensely and will be extremely productive right off the bat in Gregg William's aggressive scheme. I think he'll be in the running for DROY with guys like Hawk, Greenway, Carpenter, and Mario Williams. Just my prediction. BTW, a lb usually win defensive rookie of the year...(Merriman, Vilma, barnett were the last 3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockANDallstar Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I too think that McIntosh will see a lot of success on our team with such a great supporting cast and a great D-Coordinator in Gregg. Which of our players out of "the U" didn't step up and become an impact player? WHY SHOULD ROCKY BE ANY DIFFERENT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor21_INT_4_TD Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Rocky will have a solid year....... Rookie of the year....may be in his reach because he will play.....with two other great linebackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMONEY Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 He'd have to prove it to me. I see him as a Shawn Barber type. Soild player. Hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 if he starts out like Kendrell Bell, I just hope he doesnt get injured early on and get released like Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Kenzo Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I just want him to be solid in his rookie year. I think G. Williams has done a good job with his defensive rookies so far. Sean Taylor did not start immediately and look at him now. Carlos Rogers was not starting right off the bat and look at him. I think that McIntosh WILL NOT start at the beginning of this year, but will eventually win the starting job by seasons end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Pretty good comparison, except I think Rocky is a bit more of a complete player whereas Bell was mostly a pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant15fromNJ Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I really feel that he will start and start early he fits our system because he is fast, strong and aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfos81 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 He could be that type of guy, he should definetly have a better rookie yr then L.A. Lets hope so anyway. http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/187383 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Anybody watch the video of Rocky they have up on the Yahoo draft board? It's like three and a half minutes long, and let me tell you, they save the best highlight for last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNeverDie Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I saw someone on this board make a Lance Briggs comparison. I thought that was a very good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupidsuck Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I'm not gonna complain becausee the U has had a pretty good history of linebackers as of late. I think this will turn out to be a very solid pick. I just hope he doesn't have the injury history of Kendrell Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIDETHEWALRUS Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think Rocky will have a very good chance at getting DROY. He is an excptionally intelligent LB (I believe his Wonderlick score was a 27). If the wonderlick is worth spit then he should be able to learn and excell in Williams' scheme. Remember that Williams wanted a LB that can play every down instead of continuing this WLB by committe approach we took last year. The fact that we moved up tells me that he is not confident in Clemons being our everydown WLB and based on Holdman's performance last year I am certain he won't be our guy. I could see Rocky with 60-80 tackles next year. With the addition of Carter rushing the passer (and hopefully commanding double teams) I also see Rocky getting from 4-7 sacks. (I am trying not to be homeristic in my stat predictions, but it is difficult to see the real world through my B&G glasses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirtyfive2seven Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 He looks solid, but I'm a little concerned with his tackling technique. It seemed like he was always falling backwards on his tackles instead of exploding into the player and taking him down. I <3'd the last clip though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I <3'd the last clip though They just need to let Taylor put on a tackling clinic during training camp and get all these guys up to speed. They can use Taylor Jacobs and Jimmy Farris as tackling dummies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasRoane Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Well, I'd just like to thank Fox Sports for helping to make him work just that much harder. But, more than that. He's a smart kid (29 Wonderlic is better than most QB's) and he'll pick up the defense in the off season where LA couldn't do it in two full seasons.

I'm very opptimistic about Rocky. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
