Great info about Rocky, im excited to see how he perform fulltime. I just hope he continues to show enough promise, to the extent that Briggs is an afterthought.

Soprano's ending must be a precursor to a movie, because its like the third time I heard it. On the NBC's Today Show, Matt was taking votes on that with the others. I also heard about it among the neighbors as the went to work this morning.

On the football side of things, I am hoping those knees (should be insured by Lloyd's of London) hold up.

It would be amazing to have three killer linebackers again...remember Marshall at WLB, Pierce in the middle, and a healthy Marcus at strong?
This group could be an even MORE ferocious group of playmakers (aka, turnover producers).

Yep, I see the concert that GW is loading up on. It is fillled with playmakers, as well as steady and ready. People who have upside to their game each week. I like the depth at this spot, being used a lot more than we think, too.

looks like the youth movement to olivadotti is working out wonderfully so far.....

i would LOVE for rocky to be the man on defense. he would be just like an additional offseason acquisition.

Those 3 got the job done, and they were fun to watch. This group has the ability to be just a good, I just hope MW is fully healed.

when he finally got to play, Rocky had 10 tackles in week 16 and 7 in week 17. that would project out to 136 tackles on the year. with his speed flying around out there and Fletcher in the middle, that should free up Marcus to make a lot of big plays.

Couldnt you see a glimpse of the explosivesness he brought in those last 2 games. I was really impressed.

yes the potential is there for him to be better than Arrington or Marshall at that spot. he's got the speed if he's healthy and he should be, and he should be comfortable with the defense since they brought him along so slowly. i have to believe his knee was a factor last year. hopefully he's 100% this year.

So maybe it was a good thing, he sat and learned. I was so pissed that Holdman stayed in the starting lineup as long as he did. But again if gave Rocky a chance to really understand what was going on.

After reading that, we should keep Marshall at all costs, who knows if those knees will last, and for how long. Hopefully this will never be an issue, though.

Looking forward to seeing Rocky,s progress this year,he is a good prospect.

this site tries to compile data about height, weight and 40 times for nfl and college players. i cant vouch for their authenticity, but Rocky is listed as our fastest linebacker by far. at 6'-2.1", 237, with a 4.44 40, that is really fast for a guy his size.

I wouldn't trust that site. Rocky ran about a 4.6 40 at the combine and during his pro-day. This is the first I hear of him going sub 4.5. Running a sub 4.5 40 would make him faster than Sean Taylor, not likely.

Look at Santana Moss' numbers, there is no way he is slower than Blaylock or Landry.

I agree, marshall's experience and versatility make him a must keep!!
