TGI Jef Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The guy has gone from an above average player to a star in the making so far in these first 2 games. He is making plays and creating turnovers. He is turning into a Fletcher-like force. He seems to be everywhere and really has been one of the nice suprises of the season for me. I have alwyas thought he was a solid player, but I think he could be a pro bowler in the next 2-3 years. If HB Blades can become half the player that London Fletcher is, i think our LB core (at least the starters) is set, and really could turn into one of the best 3 man LB units in the league.

tr1 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think all of the lbs are playing very, very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPortJGibbs89 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Doc Walker was sayin the same thing on the redskins morning show today. I thought Rocky was playing like a beast to start the year last year but I think he got hurt and his play dropped off. There is no doubt the guy is a stud lets just hope he can stay healthy. He seems to be all over the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I am talking positive about a Redskins player, so am I half a Cowboys fan and half a Redskins fan now? As far as all the lbs Fletcher is on another planet. The guy is a straight up beast. He is the glue on this defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmySmith Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Awesome, Awesome. People are not giving enough credit to Haynesworth, he is exactly as advertised and is allowing his teammates to do some great things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&GSince83 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I agree 100%. Rocky has played very well so far this year, and actually played well through 8 games last year. I think he faded a bit as the year went on due to his knee injury the year before. If he can keep up this pace he is going to be a VERY good LB for us.

TGI Jef Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 i think that Rocky, along with Haynesworth, Fletcher, and Horton, is starting to bring a nastiness to this defense that has been lacking. as i said in another thread, Carlos is a highly skilled player as well. but those 4 guys are just hitting people. they are getting in front of players, wrapping them up, and driving them back. really good to see. the stats have been there for the D for a few years now, but this year there at least seems to be an attitude that may have been missing from time to time in the past.

Wyndorf25 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Albert Haynsworth has a lot to do with the improved play of the LBers this year. He forces the O-line to focus on him with double and triple teams instead of taking on the LBers on the next level thereby freeing them to run around and make plays. Man, I love what Fat Albert brings to this defense. I don't mean to take anything away from McIntosh though. He is showing that given the chance, he is a playmaker. His tackling has been great and he is definitely showing a nose for the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt'n Obvious Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Awesome, Awesome. People are not giving enough credit to Haynesworth, he is exactly as advertised and is allowing his teammates to do some great things. Agreed. Haynesworth has been a monster and is freeing up our LB's. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGREENHULK Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think all of the lbs are playing very, very well. Agreed and the Dline is playing well...The secondary however can't get us all the field on 3rd downs...not yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeping Wizard Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Rocky was starting to come on a couple of years ago before his injury. I've always thought he had potential to be a great lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you made this thread. Rocky is playing at a pro bowl level. Doc even gave him props this morning by calling him a straight-up"beast". He has really improved his play. Lets just hope he stays healthy. And he, like Carlos, is another player that we MUST keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 He and Rogers are both set for UFA this offseason in addition to Campbell and Heyer. The tender on Golston and Monty will be up also. All four of those first guys might have really good seasons and be hard to bring back. I worry what we'll do if there is a cap.
