McIntosh Vs. Marshall

I believe that Marshall will start, I want McIntosh to but he definately did not prove to be a starter last year backing up warrick holdman. There has got to be some issues when you are the backup to holdman. I hope he will be a stud, but my gut tells me otherwise.
Considering the fact that Dale Lindsey has never been satisfied with any linebacker play, i don't think its fair to judge McIntosh off his rookie campain. There was no chance Lindsey would start him over Holdman, regardless of his performance on the practice field.

I am in no way saying that he will be another Monte Colmen but wouldn't it be great if Marshall would turn into a Colmen type do everything super sub for the Redskins.

To have that type of return, we would have to have drafted Rocky in the equivalent of the 11th round of the draft -- where Monte Coleman was taken -- 289th overall. Can you believe that?

and that kind of stupid thinking is exactly why he is no longer with the team and as for our linebacker situation i see marshall starting the first 2 or 3 games and then rocky will emerge (he better seeing all what we gave up for that guy)

With Marshall's experience at WLB and MLB gives us great depth. Lets remember that Marshall had a decent year in 2005 and made some plays that helped us win some games.

I wouldn't write off Marshall yet. He played banged up last year and still did an alright job.

I think we have good depth at the LB position.

What about a linebacker by commitee situation?

Or would there be a chance that Williams will want to run some 3-4 packages during the a game???

ummm rocky macintosh is nowhere close to marshall. i see rocky on the bench for a while, maybe every now and then come in to give breathers.

i like rocky but i think we messed up going after him like we did.

marshall is a beast. bottom line.

marshall is not a beast, but he's serviceable when healthy and he can be good if the DL can protect him from getting washed out on blocks, which didn't happen last year.

this is a good point. most productive linebackers have a very good front four keeping linemen from getting to them
