Rocky McIntoch Appreciation Thread

[budw38]

Rocky did look very good last night ! He have great speed , and lets hope it translates to the field in September . As far as Lindsey and Holdman , Im sure if G Williams thought Rocky would have been an upgrade < last year > , he would have put him on the field , he has the final say , not the position coach . On Holdman , no team has 11 pro bowlers , had our DL and Db's played like they did last night , WH . would have been servicable . If you guys want to hate a guy , remember , it was Lavar who had all the god given talent in the world and rarely showed up .That is in the past , looks like we could have a WS backer for the first time in over 10 years , not to mention a leader at the MLB spot !

looks great makes me more angry that we didnt get him on the field sooner last year

I like how when Rocky hits someone they don't go through him and they don't really go forward at all. Holdman would get dragged 2-3 yards before he got the ball carrier down, if he got him down.

We should try keep Olividatti a secret. He'll be coordinating someone else's defense at this rate. The LBers look awesome. The whole D looks great.

Except, Carlos was still giving ten yards in certain situations. I hate that. You're not racing a horse.

I think we have exactly what we could have hoped for. This kid is the real deal, watching him at the game at game speed hes all over the place!

All the questions are answered with Rocky!

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

man i sure do miss holdman. Rocky can never make the plays that he made last yearl

[MTK]

I just watched some of the replay and damn Rocky really was all over the place.

As for last year and Holdman, who cares. Get over it.

It appears that he simply wasn't ready last year.

Last year is over, let's move on and stop crying over the past.

What I don't understand is why the FO was trying to get Lance Briggs? They saw how hard the guy worked this off season. Didn't they have any confidence that he would carry his hard work to the field? They drafted him and now they want to go out and get someone else who plays his position. For what? That's almost like drafting JC and bringing in Drew Brees. It sort of shows you the real incompetence of our FO. But I hope like hell Rocky takes to the reg season. He looks like the playmaker we have been missing on defense.

I'm still not convinced the Skins were genuinely interested in Briggs. I think that Snyder may have been doing Rosenhaus a favor and letting him use the Skins as a bargaining chip.

You may be on to something. Just because a teams name comes up, doesn't mean they're always interested. Remember this is business, and while we didn't go after Briggs, remember the Skins still have some of Rosenhaus' clients on our roster. He may have to return the favor later on.

Yes you could be right here. But it just makes them look silly. Not that the FO cares what us fans think. Plus it sure gives us something to talk about.

That's an interesting point... Is this speculation or do you have something to base this on?

You don't know what Rocky was doing last year, he was probably studying his ass off trying to get onto the field. The guy was a second round pick, and you're acting like he was supposed to come in and be great immediately. Let's be clear, when we drafted him we weren't expecting him to be Derrick Brooks immediately.

Last year was not a wasted year for Rocky, I'd rather we suck and give him some time to learn rather than him suck when we need him to be good. Besides, who cares if Rocky did good last year? The entire defense blew, it wouldn't have mattered if Rocky was the only guy that looked good. Last year is in the past, let it go. All that matters is that he is a great young linebacker now, and he's got a promising career ahead of him.
