Ant15fromNJ Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The report was about how bad our linebackers were last year and the fact that we had the least amount of sacks last year. Then the reporter said that Rocky McIntosh looked great in mini camp and is the favorite to start in place of Lemar Marshall and the coaches really think Rocky can become a star in the league. I really thought Lemar would start over Rocky but they still got to go through camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeseantaylor2k6 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I would love it if Rocky started and led the LB core in INT's and got himself a few sacks. With London in the middle making tackles, that would free up Marcus Washington to rush the passer more than he was able to do last season. God I cant wait for the season to start.

jrfriedm Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I think that Rocky will get the start, with Lemar being there as the #1 backup in all three of the linebacking postitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneBoost Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I like Lemar a lot, but hell, if you can't do the job when there's a younger guy behind you, you're bound to lose it. I'm sure he'll still be in on a lot of plays though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Well, hopefully Rocky is good. I expect him to be our starter this season. Any comments on how big an upgrade London FLetcher is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneBoost Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Any comments on how big an upgrade London FLetcher is? Can't really say, we have to see how he works out for us, he should be pretty decent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Patrol Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yea me and my dad were talking about Lemar marshal performance last year the other night. I think he is on his way to be cut. He really aint do to well last year. I hope that's an overstatement. Lemar Marshall might have played himself out of a starting spot, but he still knows the defense, can sub in at Mike and Will, and doesn't cost the team much at all. He absolutely deserves a spot on the roster and is an invaluable resource given his flexibility. Depth is important, and Lemar Marshall is an outstanding backup.

Fred Jones Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I think that Rocky will get the start, with Lemar being there as the #1 backup in all three of the linebacking postitions. Yes, Lemar is still a good LB and is valuable as a backup. Remember, Rocky has first round talent. His injury history dropped him out of the first round. Even now, his knee is a concern.

TheDoyler23 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 LaVar was occasionally brilliant but never great. It's been a long time since we had a dominant LB in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NebraSKIN Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Wasn't Lamar playing out of position last year? I thought he had a decent year when he played outside LB. I do not think we should cut him, keep him in the rotation. Seems as if he could fill into any spot . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yeah thats so true.

Fatboy10 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 You didnt get the memo? My PS3 actually determines the outcome of the Redskins players and Redskin games! Moss is gonna score 68 TD's this year! All on WR Screen out of the 2 back shotgun! Oh and Landry only needs one year to be a HOF, he is a 99 and cannot be stopped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishGangsta Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I don't know what's going on with Rocky, I mean if he's really doing well at the weak side linebacker position, why in the world are they going out trying to trade for big names like Lance Briggs?

Aston Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yea me and my dad were talking about Lemar marshal performance last year the other night. I think he is on his way to be cut. He really aint do to well last year.During this conversation with your father, did either of you bring up the fact that we offered the Bears the 6th pick for their 31st and Briggs? When they countered by requesting Rocky, we rejected. When they countered by requesting Marshall, we rejected again and the trade talks died. If he was on the list to be cut, he'd likely be in the land of brats and pop and not wearing burgundy & gold.Now you are correct to note that "he really aint do to well last year", but then again, neither did Holdman, the lineman in front of them, our secondary, etc. He's been here since 2001, knows the system, has played all 3 positions I believe, and has given us decent production the last 3 years. Fred Jones is right, he's still a good linebacker that could fill in for anyone, though I do agree his days as a starter may be behind him.

jrockster21 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Marshall had a shoulder injury last season. Rocky was drafted to fill the WLB spot, but don't count LeMar out yet. I think he's better suited as depth/nickel LB though. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexxskins Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 If you remember/just saw Rocky's performance in our final game against the Giants, there is no way that you couldn't come away from that game feeling excited about Rocky's potential. I knew that he had sideline to sideline speed. But I had no idea that he was that aggressive and would stick his helmet and pads right in to the middle of running plays, stuffing them.

I think he will be let go after this year or before this year because he hasnt done to well. Now i think he became not so good because of the Linebacker coach who was here and now is fired. I also think our DB coach is the problem for Carlos Rodgers looking so bad at times last year. But i just think Lemar Marshal will be let go. I said think not that i want him gone or he should be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty good at MLB in 2005 but I think his ability to fill in at both spots effectively really makes him an asset. I would be shocked if he gets cut this year.

Not penciled in, but INKED in. I doubt they would do this before mini-camp, but who knows. :whoknows: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshow24 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Any comments on how big an upgrade London FLetcher is? BIG Upgrade: Marshall= 75 games averaged 3.86 tackles .07 sacks and .05 Int per game Fletcher= 144 games averaged 7.75 tackles .19 sacks and .07 Int per game Beats him in every category and has more than double his tackle average per game. I don't know about you but I want my MLB tackling and Fletcher is one of the best at it. I'm sick to death that a safety lead us in tackles, even if he is Sean Taylor.

jnhay Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The organization would be full of idiots if they cut Lemar Marshall. It's not, so he'll stay. Any comments on how big an upgrade London FLetcher is?BIG Upgrade: Marshall= 75 games averaged 3.86 tackles .07 sacks and .05 Int per game Fletcher= 144 games averaged 7.75 tackles .19 sacks and .07 Int per game Beats him in every category and has more than double his tackle average per game. I don't know about you but I want my MLB tackling and Fletcher is one of the best at it. I'm sick to death that a safety lead us in tackles, even if he is Sean Taylor. All that, plus leadership. I think a big problem last year was there was no clear leader to get us back into games and into form. Even though Lavar Arrington completely messed up his time here with the Redskins, the old Lavar would really pump up the defense with his intensity and heavy hits. Sean Taylor does that to a degree, but I think Lavar was more vocal about it, which enabled him to motivate the whole team at points. Now we get someone to fill that leadership void, and I don't think we'll see the inconsistent intensity/performance that we saw last season.

bbuzz1962 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Rocky will start this season. Gibbs is going to go with his young studs this season. I think he wants to make a push in his last two seasons to build a young solid team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsTerps26 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Fletcher is a legit MLB. He is a tackling machine. An an NFL icon and rated 99 in my madden game :laugh: Seriously though, LONDON IS ONLY GETTING BETTER. 2003: 133 Tackles and 2 sacks 2004: 144 Tackles and 3.5 sacks 2005: 158 Tackles and 4 sacks 2006: 146 Tackles and 2 sacks Each of the last two years he was in the top 3 in Total Tackles. Adding LF will only help Rocky's progression. See for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
