darrelgreenie Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Rocky is good in the 4-3, not sure about how he'd fare in the 3-4. Rocky's build and speed matches up quite favorably with other 3-4 ILB: Chargers: Stephen Cooper-6'1 235lbs/Siler 6'2 239 49ers: Patrick Willis-6'1/240 Steelers: Timmons-6'1-234 Jets: Scott-6'2-240 Pats: Eric Alexander-6'2-240 Packers: Nick Barnett-6'2-236 Browns: (Terp)D'Jackson-6'2-240 Rocky 6'2-238 In a 3-4 the 2 ILB are the 'buck' who is always on the strong side and often has to tangle with OL in a hit and shed situation Rocky may struggle with this role or not we can only speculate But the other ILB in a 3-4 is the 'mack' a protected position much like Rocky's 4-3 WILL postion a place where Rocky excells imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 the more I read the more I hope Haslett will look at tape and decide this team isn't built for a 3-4 I still don't understand posts like this. Why not allow the staff to have some forward-thinking? That's like saying that Moss and ARE are not built for the WCO, so we should ask Shanahan to install the Raider offense. You can't look at the personnel that we have today and make decisions that might impact the next 5-10 years. If the coaches want a certain philosophy on offense and defense, they need to do it and start catering their personnel decisions to those philosophies. It's OK to have an incomplete product in year 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Love this dude. Here's hoping we do lock him up. He's as solid as they come to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emor09 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I would love to lock up Rocky long term. He's the kinda guy that, if he played for New England, Dallas or NYG, he would be a perennial pro bowler, we just dont get recognition in DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Rocky is one of my favorite players. I wish there was a way to get a Rocky jersey. He has been everything we could have wanted. He leaves his heart on the field and deserves to be paid. Love the guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icbmayday Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Definitely need to lock Rocky up...........He is a good player who has strong character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paloffs Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Definitely need to lock Rocky up...........He is a good player who has strong character. I would go with this, Rocky is not great but he is good. He's consistently solid. Seeing that his knees kept up, I'm very pleased with him. I also love his character. He's not the fiery linebacker Marcus was but we have that in Fletcher - someone everyone plays for. I'd be all for locking McIntosh up (nothing excessive because while I'm happy with him, he's nothing exceptional). We are still lacking that playmaking LB though... McIntosh and Fletcher are both very solid. Orapko is still to be determined as a linebacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaSkins27 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 If we let Rocky walk nothing has changed, same old Skins letting solid starters walk while overpaying for hyped drama queens. LOCK ROCKY UP! I hope we sign him to a fitting 5 year contract, nothing crazy but the man deserves to be paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfire Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I wanted to bumb this. Does anyone know any new info on rocky? Is he restricted or will he be a free agent? Do you have any idea how annoying a bump is? It's very frustrating to read all about something like this for pages, until someone makes a reference to Mark Brunell or something else that was from 20 years ago. Almost every post after your bump will be from people who believe this is happening right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild West Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Since he'll be a restricted free agent with no CBA, he'll be with us for at least 2010. As for 2011 and beyond, I think it would depend on how he fits in to the new system. Notice that the thread was started last year, long before Shanahan came on board. They may decide that Rocky simply isn't a good fit in the 3-4. It may be a similar situation to when the Jets moved to 3-4 and traded away Vilma. However, if they decide that he does have a role in the new system, I'd love to see him signed to a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 At least tender him for a 2nd pick if we aren't into him for a 3-4 so maybe we can get something for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Do you have any idea how annoying a bump is?

Almost every post after your bump will be from people who believe this is happening right now. One: if your weren't so lazy to read the title and see that it was from a previous date than its your fault. Two: I try to stick with the rules and not make a new thread for every new thought that pops into my head and post in a thread that already exists from the same topic. Plus I wanted to know if any new info has come out of this ptf article. SO :pfft: stuff it with walnuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirtyfive2seven Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Good to see were getting our guys locked up.. hopefully carlos is next!What? Why? That man QUIT on his team when he was bench for poor play against the Saints. Did you not read the interview? Did you not hear what he said about how he didn't care what was going on in the game? Didn't care if he came back here next season? Screw Carlos, he can't catch and he falls for double moves consistently. I would rather have Barnes start over him and be a liability in coverage.

BigMike21 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Is there any news on this? And did we tender him or do we stand the chance of losing him Friday? Or does he automatically become tendered once the year goes uncapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMan CC47 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I like the idea of giving McIntosh an extension, I just hope that we don't go overboard on him. I have been a little dissapointed in what I would call a lack of production fromMcIntosh. I know he has a big play or two every couple of games, but I expected more from him. I really thought that he would be in pro bowl disscussions and he's far from living up to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedlamVR Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I wonder if the pursuit of Peppers spells the end of Rocky? Why . Rocky would most likley play ILB in the 3-4 . He has played at a level close to London Fletcher and has been one of the most consistent players on D . It is a funny time of year when all of a sudden ALL of our players become trash and everyone else is releasing HoF prospects ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMan CC47 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Why . Rocky would most likley play ILB in the 3-4 . He has played at a level close to London Fletcher and has been one of the most consistent players on D . It is a funny time of year when all of a sudden ALL of our players become trash and everyone else is releasing HoF prospects ... Rocky has been solid but to say that he's on the same level as Fletcher is a bit much. I do agree that we need to keep our own draft picks as opposed to picking up other teams releases though.

TK Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hmmmm......With this new coaching staff, every time they've done an interview, they have not mentioned Rocky. Now they have mentioned all our other LBs, just not Rocky Mac. Maybe his knees aren't 100% still, which will get you off a team quick just like what happened to Merriman.

DGREENHULK Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yeah TK I've noticed that as well....not one mention of McIntosh as far as I know. I thought he rebounded well from the knee but others might have more inside medical info...I hope he's ok and will be back in B&G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan242 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Meh ... McIntosh has been, is and will always be overrated. Yeah right. He was our most solid player outside of Fletcher last year.
