http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/2794 Recent articles about Rocky McIntosh en-us 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...

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 ...

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...

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...

He is weighing in at 333lbs which is quite hefty.

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 ...

Opining on his Twitter account Friday night, McIntosh wrote: "Do or die this year skins fans... I choose Do. And do it BIG." Do or depart may be more appropriate.
