He looked great. He was the best player on the defensive side of the ball in my opinion.

McIntosh has been the starting WLB since the end of minicamps.

He's a regular starter, no doubt about it. He was all over the place and if my memory serves me right he didn't miss a tackle. I wouldn't expect the sacks to be a regular thing, he wasn't really blitzing too often and it was the always immobile Trent Green, but I could see him notching a couple more this year. He was all over the place as far as tackles go though. And very aggressive like was said above. If anything I would perhaps downgrade LaRon Landry. If what was seen from Fletcher and McIntosh out there yesterday is a sign of things to come, then not many tackles will make their way to Landry.

I think so. Anthony Montgomery, a 2nd year DT, has greatly improved his game and is the reason why Salave'a got released. He was occupying the middle and getting good push all day long, which freed up Fletcher and McIntosh to make plays. There's no reason to think this won't continue. McIntosh is a very violent tackler and is very active. He figures to get his share of FF's this year.

As long as the d-line can hold up against the run, Rocky should remain effective against the run. Also, as long as the d-line faild to get to the QB, he should rack up tackles in the passing game.

That's the word I was looking for. I can't believe this is the same guy we saw late last year.

McIntosh is the real deal, and along with Fletcher and Landry, has made a huge difference in the Redskins defense. He is getting close to being an every week starter.

Yet another UM linebacker that is playing well in the NFL. They are quickly become Linebacker U, Tight End U, Running Back U, and Defensive Line U...

First time I have watched him play beside preseason. I like how often he was sent on the blitz. Seem like when he is on nickel packages they use him often as another rusher. He could have leveled Mcnabb on one play in the second quarter, but McNabb got rid of the ball just in time and Rock let up. He was in my lineup this week, and wont be coming out anytime soon.

Same here. They send him bak in coverage at times too. He may be their best LB sometime this season.The Gator said:First time I have watched him play beside preseason.

Same here. I needed exactly what he got last night.ninerfanatic492000

rocky is playing freak'n awesome, however the skins need all 3 of their big LB'ers to stay healthy and keep complimenting each other.marcus's versatility-london instincts- and rocky's athletic explosiveness all fit together like a glove. if 1gets hurt they all would prolly suffer, so lets hope rocky and marcus can finally stay healthy for a entire year to keep this rolling.

What's weird is how completely overmatched they looked the one time I saw them this season (vs. OU). With the recruiting they have available to them and the recruits they consistently land, it's amazing that they aren't more successful than they are.
for me at least!all kidding aside, he is for real

Yeah, he's been the starting WLB since the beginning of training camp at least. He worked hard this last offseason and the coaches noticed.he has always been a beast so umm..have i missed something here...he has BEEN an every week starter for two weeks nowfor me at least!all kidding aside, he is for real

As a lifelong homer of the U I have to second that. The Gators always have been the recruiting beasts in Florida. Add all the schools from around the country that recruit heavily down there now and Miami doesn't get as many choices as they did 10-15 years ago. On Rocky -- and several other current NFL Hurricanes -- it is apparent that they were not well used by the previous coaching regime. Leon Williams in Cleveland looks better as a pro than at UM. So do McIntosh and Greg Olsen and Devin Hester in Chicago. Beason in Carolina will be better as a pro than he was in college.

Yeah, Leon has turned some heads. He was on the field because D'Qwell Jackson got dinged up rather than taking over for Andra Davis. The kid looks very active and makes plays but he's prolly a tad undisciplined which doesn't work in Romeo's scheme. He has talent and hopefully he'll settle in and get his chance to start. Side note, Peek had a foot injury in the Bengal game so his stats were impacted, not sure it its going to linger or not but that would explain his disappearance in the box score.

i watched the browns game on nfl replay, only time i saw DQ get hurt was on the last bengals drive inside of 1min. leon was in for andra almost the entire game. whether it was based on the situation or performance i'm not sure but he was definetly in for andra.

Haven't seen him at all. Often they are playing it seems with Fletcher as the only LB.

This one's on the DVR. I was paying more attention to the travashamockery that was the Bengals again this week. Remind me to get back to this if I forget to post or our many observant Redskins experts don't settle the question sooner.

Honestly, I think he was in there a fair amount of the time but was in pass coverage matched up on Shockey. That killed his tackle numbers.

Here's what rotoworld has to say about it...Rotoworld) Rocky McIntosh left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter because of pain in both shoulders.Impact: Rookie H.B. Blades replaced McIntosh late. According to the Washington Post, "it appeared [McIntosh] wasn't feeling well physically for much of the game."
regardless i think rocky is still a good to real good lb and this bye weeks comes at a good time if hewasnt feelign good... how can u blame him in the first 2 games he was every where...
