Rocky Returns

Maybe it means we'll be seeing more 4-3 formations?

One of our biggest weaknesses in years past has been depth. This adds depth.

Who knows what it means about Riley's progression, but having 2 guys going for that job increases the chances that one of them ends up being good at it.

Depth...the LB position/s are both thin and basically inexperienced except for Fletch. The plan could be to bring someone else in, but I'll take Rocky until we can do better.

Yea......depth is good.
Let the best man start.
McIntosh isn't Wilbur Marshall but he's at least a half decent vet.

I've heard nothing but good things so far about Riley, he seems poised to hold down a starting job. With Henson on PUP perhaps this is just a depth move until he's ready to return.

Yeah I was looking forward to seeing what Riley could do as well. Hopefully this is still an open competition at ILB, if it is then I think this is a smart re-signing. If there was some sort of promise that he would start then I'm obviously not so happy with it.
I just hope this does not become a distraction if Riley beats him out, as Rocky will obviously want all the playing time he can get to showcase himself for his next contract.

Henson and Riley both have (at times) shown flashes of potential, I need to see more of them both in game situations before declaring either saviors at the ILB positions.

Henson flashed in preseason last year, but preseason is just that....preseason

Rocky is a terrible fit for this defense. I'd like to see Riley in there this year.

I think Rocky will be there for depth, and the other starting ILB position is Riley's to lose.

Good news & definitely threadworthy since most of us expected him to be elsewhere. In a crowded market Rocky & Los both were likely surprised at how little interest there was in them.

Rocky obviously has ability but never seemed a good fit in the 3-4. Good depth as others mentioned, maybe he shows improvement.
