Re: Rocky McIntosh
I'm not sure why any coach would anoint McIntosh the starter. let him win it, or lose it, in preseason

Re: Rocky McIntosh
What I read is that the team set the depth chart so that Rocky, Fletcher, and Washington are the number one guys. Lemar doesn't just have the chance to beat out Rocky for the starting job, he can beat out any of the three. He was told specifically that he would be able to compete for a starting job, not just Rocky's starting job. I'm sure Lemar is going to be used to push Rocky and Fletcher.

it should have been been set as fletcher, washington and marshall as the starters with rocky having the chance to battle with lemar. marshall is a proven starting caliber lb in the nfl, rocky has yet to prove anything as far as i know.

Re: Rocky McIntosh
Quote:
The thing about Marshall is that he knows all the LB positions. From a team standpoint, it makes more sense to have Rocky concentrate on his one position and try to earn it while having Marshall compete at all positions for depth. I'd rather have Marshall come of the bench for an injured LB than to have him starting outside and then switch him inside if Flecher gets injured and then bring in Rocky off the bench. In other words, Rocky doesn't have enough expereince to be the primary backup at all LB positions. We hope that he can be good enough to earn one spot.
