LoudMouth12thMan Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Please use a more descriptive thread title. Thanks. Rocky McIntosh is a ****ing animal I love Rocky's game Rocky, Rocky, Rocky! ...just trying to throw out some ideas :whoknows: :point2sky If Rocky is half the player he's looked like the first two weeks -- and I only saw highlights tonight so far -- it validates why we moved up to secure the best possible prospect instead of maximizing picks. Quality is always better than quanitity unless you are entirely rebuilding. Great point, but how quickly people forget the job our FO/coaches is currently doing. I'm impressed with the apparent improvement they've made and I'm hoping that this trend continues with us getting quality players in the draft and not chasing quantity.

throwback37 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Agreed. Rocky is having a hell of a preseason.. he's showing a lot of ability and has even more potential. I'm really excited about some of the young'uns on the D-side of the ball.. Rocky, Landry and H.B. are all looking like beasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MumboSauce Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Rocky played extremely well, great quickness and instincts, along with tremendous film work, he's putting it all together. He played a heckuva game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streater101 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 yea, he really was that good tonight, I mean it seems like in every single play he was involved in, the commentators said his name so many times. McIntosh = Manchild. Yes, he did look that good, he was literally EVERYWHERE. He crashed the backfield, he sniffed out a screen, and broke up a pass midfield. I was expecting big things from Landry and Fletcher, but I had no idea Rocky would make this sort of impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 By the way, blades did not look bad either. Blades seemed to be the main reason the 2nd and 3rd string D didn't let the Steelers into the end zone. He was making lots of plays. As far as Rocky...he looked amazing. I was in sec 106 near the end zone during the Steelers 1st string drive when they had about 7 plays in a row in the red zone. Rocky must have been instrumental in at least 5. His name was just called over and over. Busting through the line to stop a guy for a loss, batting away balls, making sideline to sideline tackles. I have a feeling he could be something pretty special; moreso now that he has Fletcher at MLB to be a field general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 21 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yeah, Rocky's name was called constantly throughout the 1st half of the game by Mike Patrick. P.S Changed Title thread for the mods. I saw so many Jason Campbell, Brandon Lloyd etc. threads so i thought i would make a Rocky McIntosh thread hehe. Sorry about that guys. I also edited the first post so be sure to read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojobo Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 If he plays as good as he did last week and today in the regular season and Washington stays healthy I think me might have one of if not the best LB corps in the NFL. It's amazing the difference between this defense were seeing in the preseason and the defense we saw last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsand521 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 McIntosh seemed to be everywhere tonight. I'm very excited to see him in the first game against the Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area51 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 more impressive than lavar in his prime? wow. i missed the first half, but he was THAT good? or is that the just the good ol' extremeskin exaggeration? Unfortunately it is extremeskin exaggeration. While Rocky did look great(and he did), he was NOT more impressive than LaVar in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyron Biggums Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Unfortunately it is extremeskin exaggeration. While Rocky did look great(and he did), he was NOT more impressive than LaVar in his prime. I would like to know why you feel like it is an exaggeration? I stated more impressive not more athletic. Anyways IMO Rocky isn't the explosive hitter Lavar was. Surely his nose for the ball in run Def and Pass coverage was.. IN fact ask Marcus Washington about the dislocated elbow he recieved from Rocky Mac's hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 21 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 LaVar was done after his injury. His career is basically over. Rocky, barring any injury, will have more success than Lavar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswerdlw Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I liked what I saw in Blades too. Does he have any experience/talent at OLB? Marshall's fine to replace Washington, but should we rely on K. Campbell as our backup? Of course, Fletcher is going to make everybody play better.

I don't think he would be able to play outside in the NFL though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffylookin Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I won't say he was better than LaVar in his prime, but he did indeed remind me of LaVar in his prime. Rocky was all over the place and brought the lumber when he got there. I think a special thank you should go out to Gregg Williams for finally getting rid of a terrible and divisive coach in Dale Lindsey and upgrading his staff with Kirk Olivadotti. I don't think Olivadotti is getting as much credit as I think he deserves for Rocky's dramatic improvement (though most of the credit should go to Rocky himself of course).

Bang Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Ready ready ready to ROCK AND ROLL! Comparing him to anyone is stupid. He's played two preseason games. You can't possibly compare him to anyone yet. But he sure looks like a keeper, and if his play last night is an indicator, he's going to make that extra draft pick we spent to get him fade away into memory. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Rocky Mac is ready. He's gonna make some mistakes. All young players do. But he's a tremendous athlete, and I really like the way he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson316cane Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 As a longtime Skins fan and a UM grad, I was stoked when we drafted Rocky. I saw a lot of him at The U and I think he was a bit misused by our system there. Here's hoping he lights it up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
