[quote=mooby;771114]Who did Perry Riley replace? Was it Orakpo or McIntosh? I noticed he played well on defense in the time he was out there, so I'm wondering if he will get increased pt for these last couple games if Orakpo is out. I think he replaced McIntosh but I'm not sure.[/quote]

Blades replaced Rocky in base packages, Riley came in on 3rd down and nickel situations

Ah ok, I didn't even notice Blades was out there.

Riley showed some explosiveness, quickness to the ball.

Riley will be solid .... but why is everyone so down on Rocky ? I personally like Rocky and with Fletch getting older by the minute we are going to need Rocky/Riley to be a part of the 3-4 scheme

GTripp will gladly fill you in on the suckiness of Rocky.

yeah, he pretty much says that Rocky sucks in the following: reading plays, coverage, taking on blocks & sometimes his tackling too.

He did say that he "looks imposing" though. :)

LB Rob Jackson to join active roster
By Jason Reid

The Redskins are expected to promote linebacker Rob Jackson to fill an opening on the active 53-man roster, a person familiar with the situation said Monday.

Defensive lineman Phillip Daniels (abdomen injury) will miss the final two games of the season. He was assigned to the season-ending injured reserve. Washington selected Jackson in the seventh round (242 overall) of the 2008 NFL draft.

Formerly a defensive end, Jackson played in three games during his rookie season and five games last season. He has been a member of the practice squad for the entire 2010 season.

Apart from the fact that he never makes plays? Think about it: when was the last time you heard an announcer say the words "...WHAT A HUGE PLAY BY ROCKY MCINTOSH !!!"

That, and the fact that Gibbs and Cerrato practically tripped all over themselves with a bag of draft picks to move up to get a guy who has never even sniffed the Pro Bowl is just a bit unsettling.

Re: Orakpo might be done for the season
 

The drafts made by Cerrato and Gibbs II destroyed any hopes of rebuilding the franchise anytime soon. I mean deafting 3 RBs in one draft when we already had CP, Betts, and Cartwright? Think if one or two of those picks were gems of o linemen. That could have helped JC immensly down the stretch.

When did they draft 3 RBs in one draft?

Nehemiah Broughton and Manuel White? And yeah they were both useless picks. Either way that's not 3 rb's in one draft. Unless that was the year we traded picks for Duckett, in which case that would be considered a valid point.
