McIntosh: Skins defense knows what it must do

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:44:29 -0500

Weak-side linebacker Rocky McIntosh believes the Redskins' run defense is better than its 25th-place ranking in the NFL would indicate. "We've just given up a few long runs, that's why were not ranked that high," McIntosh said. "But we know what type of defense we are. We just take of that, and we'll be fine. Guys know what we have to do." The Redskins have the top-ranked pass defense and are eighth overall in yards per game. The Saints have the league'...

In the press boxes at certain away games, I've noticed, the teams manage to include some kind of local food. Sometimes this is major -- crabcakes at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore; cornbread and collards at Bank of America stadium in Charlotte -- and sometimes it's just something small, like Tastykakes in Philadelphia.I half-jokingly asked on Twitter the other day what the Redskins could offer at FedExField that would be comparable, because those little touches really make the pre...

Deal or No Deal? Evaluating the Redskins' 2009 Free Agents

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:27:17 -0500

In a post that I realize is extremely premature, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the Skins current roster and start evaluating all of the upcoming free agents this year. There are a lot of players on the fence at this point in my mind, and I'll be curious to get everyone else's feedback. The current list of Redskins free agents include: Jason Campbell, Levi Jones, Casey Rabach, Stephon Heyer (restricted), Phillip Daniels, Rocky McIntosh, Carlos Rogers, Reed Doug...

Redskins @ Falcons - First Quarter Thoughts

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:41:00 -0500

When was the last time I wrote an upbeat first quarter update? I miss those days. And sometimes there are, you know, non-terrible first quarters where there's SOMETHING good to focus on. This is not one of those first quarters. The only good thing that happened was a Rocky McIntosh interception. That's the positive. That's it.Other than that, the first play of the game was an offside penalty against Albert Haynesworth. The defense gave away two first downs with two more offside p...

Rocky McIntosh Loves Football

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:18:53 -0500

I sometimes think that -- despite the paintball and the roller coasters and all that -- it doesn't quite come across just what an interesting character linebacker Rocky McIntosh can be. Fortunately, the magic of internet videos will help alleviate that concern. Here's the new welcome video for Rocky's website, in which he attempts to convey how much he loves football. And goofy dancing and Scrabble, but mainly football.Rocky McIntosh Loves Football originally appeared on Redskins ...

Bring A Children's Book To Sunday's Game; Redskins Recommend Green Eggs And Ham. Again.

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:47:55 -0500

At this Sunday's home game against the Kansas City Chiefs, there will be Redskins Read collection bins set up at every gate into FedExField. If you're coming to the game, please consider bringing a new children's book to donate; all books received will be redistributed to needy children throughout the DMV.Last year at about this time, I went around the locker room asking players about their favorite children's books. In the process, I learned that Fred Smoot was the only guy o...

Redskins vs. Rams - London Fletcher's Pregame Speech

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 13:04:34 -0500

I tried this once last year and got roughly twenty seconds of incoherent shouting. I think this one turned out a little better, and for the bit where London Fletcher's voice gets up to tough-to-understand levels I can tell you that he's saying the same thing he always does: "Linebackers set the tone; linebackers set the tempo."They certainly tried their best during the first quarter, as Fletcher and Rocky McIntosh were all over the field. And I suppose Brian Orakpo made an i...

Rocky McIntosh is the Lynchpin of the Redskins Defense

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 00:38:18 -0500

Two years.That's the book on players who suffer ACL injuries. It supposedly takes two years before an athlete to get the explosiveness lost to return to the injured knee. Just look at Edgerrin James: he averaged 4.2 and 4.4 yards in his first two seasons, then lost the final two months of his 2001 season to an ACL injury. The next season, James posted a completely out of character 3.6 YPC. But once he was two years removed from the injury, James' final three years in Indy went to ...
