'Skins_&_'Stons Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Great post, Anthony! I have always been a HUGE supporter of Rocky & agree that he was an absolute steal. I am also the world's #1 Rocky McIntosh Card Collector (self proclaimed, of course). LOL. Anywhoo, feel free to click on the link below to check out some of my collection.

Ghost32 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Dude is a Beast!!!! He has been all over the field this year making plays. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest isjoining Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I've become a fan of Rocky Mcintosh since last year, and it continues this year. He's a very underrated weakside linebacker and should only get better once his knee is fully healed. Him and carlos rogers have been playing outstanding coming from knee surgery.

skinfan2k Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 We need to draft another LB for MW? I feel like Blades is the next MLB but we need a SLB to replace MW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky52Mc Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 I don't know, we could have had Bobby Carpenter...... ! All that I need to say about this is, Rocky finished his special teams work in less than one season. Bobby Carpenter on the other hand.. still has a lot of paperwork to file. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both fly all over the field and it's contagious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbodiesel#44 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Very solid. Responded well to his injury. I think his game is still on the rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoasthog Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Rocky is a freaking beast! Even m friends who are Raiders fans give him props. He is having a monster year! Vote him to the Pro Bowl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Great thread my man... Rocky is a beast, period. Once he starts covering just as well as he tackles and hustles to the ball watch out. And I'm not saying he can't cover... not at all. Just that he's so good at everything else it's hard to match, but he will eventually. That's usually the hardest thing for a LBer.

Rocky52Mc Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 This may be a little unrelated, but I'm giving a shout out to a poster I saw on the Profootballtalk.com comments page who commented on this weeks power rankings. (Btw this is not me, I swear, haha) Linkage: http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/10/22/week-seven-interactive-power-rankings/ "Rocky McIntosh is the Next Big Thing says: October 22nd, 2008 at 12:39 pm Both the ‘Skins and Giants would hand it to the Titans. I’d be shocked if they put up 6 points on either of those defenses. Then again, who will contain Bo Scaife? Many hath tried, and failed. Next up for the Titans on their schedule: St. Cloud State.

PCS Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I'm like others in that I believe had it not been for the injury last year, he would be having an even better season right now, and that's a very good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubbs Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Rocky's already done more than I had hoped for this season. His (and Carlos') comeback from such recent ligament damage is nothing short of remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky52Mc Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Rocky's already done more than I had hoped for this season. His (and Carlos') comeback from such recent ligament damage is nothing short of remarkable. I honestly can't believe they both have done. Carlos has what? 11 pass deflections? Don't they say you need at least 10 a year to be considered elite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z0eboy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Rocky McIntosh is a beast, a core redskin that makes plays. Gibbs drafted Rocky to be a impact player on defense, its going to be awesome to see him learn from London and Marcus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrella117 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Rocky is a freaking animal. He has made very good plays since he has been here but one thing he needs to work on more is his coverage skills. Other then that Rocky is the best linebaker we have drafted since Lavar Arrington for sure. He is a very solid player and I'm glad to see him back on the field after his injury last year. Looks like he never lost a step! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he never lost a step! Agreed. But I do see much improvement in his coverage game than last year. I remember he had a little bit of problems covering a few TE's. He seems to be a lot more closer to making the play then he did last year in pass coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Agreed. But I do see much improvement in his coverage game than last year. I remember he had a little bit of problems covering a few TE's. He seems to be a lot more closer to making the play then he did last year in pass coverage. However, there is NOT a LB who should be able to consistently cover an elite TE. If your an elite pass catching TE whose being shutdown by even an elite LB, you are either injured to the point that maybe you should not be playing or you should hand in your elite status.

terrifNick21 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 He's a fantastic young player, but the pro bowl is about stats. I doubt he'll make it. I agree partly with what you say about the stats, but I aslo disagree. It's a poularity contest for the most part. A perfect example: Vince Young in his rookie year. Completed only 51% of his passes and had more INTs than TDs. I think Rocky can and will make it.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
