I'm guessing jsarno knows who Rocky McIntosh is. I'm pretty sure he meant that, being a thread about AA, a post about Rocky is off topic. Not so much "off topic", perhaps, as "out of left field".

I was responding to the comments made. That's why I quoted them. I'm also sure he knew who Rocky is. Can we get off this now?

Who said that Rocky is starting? Do you have a link?

Deion was a bad signing due to the $ he got, but he was still a very good corner at the time, better than any we have now. He just wasn't the prime time of old who teams were scared of. When they saw Bailey on the other side, teams figured the %s were better at picking on Deion. That D was pretty good though, we just lost games w/turnovers.

oh yeah, to get back on topic - I'd agree w/Matty that Jeff G was the worst signing, and at this point I'd have to say AA 2nd. Both could be top 10 all time worst FA signings in all of sports. AA's contract is relatively more than Jon Koncack got years ago from the Atl Hawks.

See J. LaConfora's Reskins Insider - Redskins Insider

He said yesterday that since Washington is out, Rocky might get to start. I don't know if he's saying Rocky would play strong side?

"Should Archuletta play on Defense on Sunday?"

But I don't care...thus the moniker.

PS- About time Rocky got a start!

To help build JC's confidence, I think he should play defense...for the Rams.

I can think of one better: The NY Giants MLB (I forget his name) we signed in early 2000's and never played a down. I think he came in the same FA class that OG Dave Foire who we signed from SF 49ers, who also played just a few plays of one game and retired due to a bad knee. Both in one year. Between the two of them we paid millions and they never played an entire game.

At least AA played some, although it was shit play.

But at the same time we probably wouldn't have found out about Pierce had Barrow played. Until that year Barrow was a NFL iron man, it was shit luck that he didn't play. Fiore had obvious injury concerns and was a risky pickup.

With our notoriously shaky history at QB, I really think screwing over Johnson was a huge mistake. He could have been a very solid QB for us for many years.

Deion is actually a great team player. Whenever his ex-teammates talk about him they always have great things to say about him. In Tim Green's book "The Dark Side of The Game" he had a whole chapter on Deion and how great of a teammate he really is, all the stuff on the field, the neon Deion primetime stuff, is just an act.

Yeah, but then we wouldn't have had the pleasure of living through the Jeff George era, let alone the Tony Banks Dynasty.

AA has not played in the defensive rotation in the last six games. I see no particular reason why he should be playing in Sunday's game. The fact he's going against his former team is not reason enough to play him when he hasn't been productive. He'll probably see his normal duties on ST's.
