With McIntosh going into his second year(and giving up draft picks to get him) and Marshall sliding over to WIL, who is gonna be the Weak side starter? My vote is for Rocky, he has showed some nice flashes when he was annointed a starter, plus the experience would be invaluable. Marshall is so versatile he could back up any linebacker spot without missing a beat. Opinions? Beemnseven 03-13-2007, 02:42 PM Everybody should be rooting hard for Rocky McIntosh to soundly beat Lemar Marshall in preseason competition. If he doesn't, consider it yet another 2nd round draft bust. Crazyhorse1 03-13-2007, 02:43 PM Looks like Fletcher's gonna be the every down middle linebacker, according to redskins.com.

Marshall is so versatile he could back up any linebacker spot without missing a beat. Opinions? Marshall should start at season opening with Rocky replacing him often. Later on, it would be great to have Marshall backing up all three linebackers to keep everyone's legs fresh. Rotations can be very effective is you have the right and/or older personnel, and I believe we do. stu_nna 03-13-2007, 02:46 PM 2 yrs riding the pine seems kinda long. Does anyone know whether Meast(Marcus Washington) will be ready for the start of training camp? 12thMan 03-13-2007, 02:46 PM I'm betting that Rock locks it down. I honestly think it's his to lose. That being said, Marshall is going to be a very good package LB. stu_nna 03-13-2007, 02:52 PM The idea of McIntosh playing behind Carter probably doesn't strike fear into opposing rushing offenses either. Marshall is bigger. Hmmm... skinsfan69 03-13-2007, 02:56 PM Looks like Fletcher's gonna be the every down middle linebacker, according to redskins.com.

Marshall is so versatile he could back up any linebacker spot without missing a beat. Opinions? Washington would play the strong side, Flether in the middle and either Rocky or Marshall at weak side. I guess this will be a battle in training camp. This is good becasue at least we have depth at this position. But you would figure that Rpck would start. skinsfan69 03-13-2007, 02:57 PM The idea of McIntosh playing behind Carter probably doesn't strike fear into opposing rushing offenses either.

It's definitely a nice "problem" to have. hagams 03-13-2007, 03:02 PM Either way, I think Rock deserves a solid shot at being the starter. As previously posted, we've wasted too many draft picks not to at least give him the shot he has earned. London, and Rocky should have the led going into pre-season for the starting jobs. Let the rest of them fight it out. Either way, I think we'll be pretty solid this year with the LB's.
