Among the Colts' many casualties this week was Marlin Jackson , who tore his ACL in practice. As you probably recall, Marlin tore his other ACL in practice last year . Several athletes have gone on to have very successful careers after losing both ACLs, including one-man rebounding machine DeJuan Blair, but there aren't too many exceptions to the rule. Given how much Marlin Jackson struggled to regain...
Crime Stoppers has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the charging of a suspect in a summer murder that has stumped detectives. Marcus Washington, 35, was found shot to death in his apartment in the 500 block of Wells Fargo Drive on July 3. There were no signs of forced entry and there detectives don't have a motive.
Six months ago, Tyjuan Hagler and Freddy Keiaho were headed down the road that took Mike Peterson, Marcus Washington, David Thornton and Cato June to new homes. Not this time.
Rocky McIntosh always has been the other linebacker for the Washington Redskins. McIntosh played the past two seasons, his first ones as a starter, with a former Pro Bowl pick in Marcus Washington and the NFL's top tackler of the past decade in London Fletcher. Washington departed after last season, only to be replaced by a flashy first-round draft choice, Brian Orakpo. McIntosh, naturally, remained...
The Redskins linebacking corps finds itself in an interesting position this year. Perennial almost-all-pro London Fletcher is a rock at middle linebacker, and at weak-side linebacker, Rocky McIntosh is in his second year returning from knee surgery, usually a break-out time. And while strong-side linebacker was thought to be something of a concern heading into training camp given the departure of...
By Ruth Marcus WASHINGTON — Candidate Barack Obama offered a lofty vision of how his White House would operate. When the details of health reform were being hammered out, he vowed, “We’ll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making [...]
Marcus Washington, 35, was found shot to death at his apartment at the Carriage Place Apartments in the 500 block of Wells Fargo about 7:30 p.m. on July 3.
Last year, on the first day of training camp, the Redskins acquired Jason Taylor. "I'm 100 percent positive [Jason Taylor will] play longer than one year," Vinny Cerrato said at the time. This year, on the first day of training camp, the Redskins broke out a large rack of Jason Taylor jerseys, on super sale. The price tags said $80, but an employee said they were probably selling them for...
Chicago Bears GM Jerry Angelo and Head Coach Lovie Smith have consistantly stated that they are always evaluating free agent talent, but the Bears have never been a team to dish out top-tier money for big name free agents. When spring training starts in 30 days, we will get a better feel for where we stand with some of our "question mark" players, and possibly start making moves for free...

BBS' post on blitzing from the Tampa-2 and a comment from tim55 got me wondering on who was the last Indy linebacker to have success rushing the passer. It's no exaggeration to say that the Colts don't use their back 7 for pressure. In the 7 years under Dungy only 4 non-linemen have recorded multiple sacks in a season (two did it twice), only one of those 6 seasons totaled over 4 sacks. Player Year...
Since they cut veteran Marcus Washington, the Washington Redskins have searched for a successor to fill his spot at strongside linebacker. They will try to fill that void from within the organization, moving weakside starter Rocky McIntosh there during the upcoming minicamp and organized team activities. Top draft choice Brian Orakpo, a defensive end at Texas, might get a shot, too. "We're going...
