Rocky Returns

Nothing wrong with a vet coming back. I really hope Riley/Henson beats him out as starter. Id like to see some of these young draft picks beat some vets out in camp and get into the starting line up to see what they can do. It would thrill me to see Riley in at ILB and Cook in as C. Developing drafted talent is pivotal in rebuilding

when reading over rocky's wiki this morning i saw this, completely forgot what we gave up to get him

McIntosh was drafted in the second round (35th overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft. The Redskins traded a sixth round pick in 2006 and a second round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft to the New York Jets in order to swap second-round picks.[6] He had minor knee surgery on June 14, 2006,[7] and was signed to the Redskins on July 30, 2006

no wonder we are where we are :doh:

good to have him back for depth, good run stopper, pretty awful pass coverage, he seems to be a great character guy though

side note from rocky's wiki he married his college gf 3 days before the draft :doh::doh:

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


Yeah thats what im thinking/hoping.

I've always liked Rocky but the 3-4 just wasn't for him last season. I'm really surprised.

He has talent, never played up to his potential though, but I was sure he'd be gone after the scheme switch.

Hopefully he either catches on or comes off the bench.

Rocky is an example of how great measurables don't always translate to football skills. Even as a 4-3 OLB he struggled in pass coverage, despite having great speed & agility. If he can improve in his coverage, from an athletic standpoint he would be a good nickel LB in this defense.

Guys, it's not like we signed him to multi-years contract.. Met Rocky for an autograph session, he was definitely a good guy. Like Shanny said for all other positions, it's open competition! On other note, I guess I'm kinda surprised that Saints haven't make a push to sign him, due to the connection to Gregg Williams?

Yeah, that was part of the 2006 debacle of a season & offseason! Couple that w/trades for Loyd & Duckett, signing of Arch & ARE. Just like w/Kelly, we weren't worried about his knee. Other teams were.

The side note is worth a double :doh: really? Are they still together, are they happy, then who cares about the wedding date, it may have had special meaning, or maybe he knew that once drafted the work grind would really start. And mainly, I would be surprised if the gf wasn't the one who set the specific date.

sorry, just seemed like a wholly irrelevant point, so I thought I could make a wholly irrelevant response.

Glad football starts at 4!!!

I think it's still Riley's job, this gives us more depth with a player that already knows the system. Guess the market wasn't all that great for Rocky afterall.

I won't be surprised if Rocky was cut by the end of preseason. This is just to push Riley. Any word on how the Tatupu visit went yesterday?
