I agree he's been bad, but is he any worse than Holdman or Marshall have been? I'm not an AA apologist but the guy was one of the better strong safties in the NFL a couple years ago and has some solid natural ability. He couldn't cover a cake with a bucket of frosting but are there NO defensive sets he won't' be completely exposed in? Let's face it, Vernon Fox hasn't set the world on fire and Vincent hasn't been back out there since he got predictably hurt. Arch may not be the best but is he worse than a journeyman and a guy who was on the couch Oct. 1st?

Yes, he was definitely worse than Holdman or Marshall. Our secondary with him in there was a joke. It's one thing if you're not a great cover guy at LB, it's another thing entirely when you are a safety.

We have really slowed down with giving up the huge pass plays since we benched him, he must really have been THAT BAD

Looks like Rocky will get his first NFL start this Sunday. I'm anxious to see what he can do. Seems like # 52 is always around the ball on special teams.......another ball game starting on the outside! Good Luck ROCKY!!!!

Nothing like off topic posts.

Rookie Linebacker Rocky Mac # 52 on the Redskins, our 1st round draft choice in 2006 that has yet to see the field in a start. He would replace Marshall or Holdman.

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?

PS- About time Rocky got a start!

"Should Archuletta play on Defense on Sunday?"

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