I took Dansby. With the idea that both stay healthy I say Dansby. Dansby will be given a chance to make more plays Tackles, fumbles, ints, or coverage. This is still a running team and Marshall will be some what limited.

I don't believe so. He is the ultimate possession WR and Red Zone monster. Marshall is going to make this offense so much better.

Man I have to slow down because I almost jizzed my pants thinking how awesome our offense is going to be.

That all may be true but we are still a running team. I do think Marshall will make us much better dont get me wrong guys. I love the move but its still up to the defense to stop the other team and prevent them from scoring points.

Marshall makes the offense better. No longer can teams stack the box with Marshall in the game. This will also open the door for other Receivers and if we can get a TE that can also spread the defense out we will have a beastly offense.

Dansby makes the defense better too tho. Dansby can take on blockers ans is really good in coverage. Dansby will make the Defense alot better with all the things he does.

this is such a tough call. In the end you have to go with Marshall because the obvious firepower it gives our offense but Dansby will be a guy who quietly makes every facet of our defense better.

You don't have to go with Marshall. I didn't.

marshall will add more TDs than Dansby will take away. not just TDs that marshall will score himself, but the ones he opens up for the rest of the team. He will open up the run even more. He will draw attention away from Hartline, Bess, Fasano. And he will move the chains. Dansby will make impact plays, but he will not impact the defense as a whole as much as Marshall does to the offense. Think about the Texans without Andre Johnson. He IS the Texans. In the same way, Marshall can be the Dolphins.

im just stoked that we got two of the biggest signings possible.

this beats the hell out of picking up ernest wilford and gibril wilson.

dansby. Defense was way worse ranked then our offense was and dansby takes care of a huge need for us.

thanks to VO for the sick ass sigs.

Our biggest problem last year was getting off the field on third down. Dansby helps fix that.

Our best third down WR is Bess, he was 3rd in the NFL last yr. Marshall cannot dramatically improve on that.

Dansby has the biggest impact.

You dont know whether Marshall will score more than Dansby will take away. No one knows that for sure. Dansby will effect the defense just as much. Dansby will stop teams from scoring and get Marshall on the field. Dansby will make all the other players sround him alot better. The Texans are not just one player. There QB is pretty damn good too you know

We are paying him $10M/yr to play WR for the Dolphins. The job description of playing WR for the Dolphins, includes blocking.

Gotta go Marshall. Even if he doesn't get the big catch, he'll draw the coverage to open up the other receivers. He'll still be a factor even when he's not.:up:

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

I would say Marshall because with him, our offense is pretty much complete. He was the one piece we were lacking. On defense, we still need NT, OLB, and FS.

Marshall, for sure. Here's why. Arguably the one single most important factor this offense was missing was a bona fide, true #1 wr that is a play-maker. We now have that in Marshall, to complement a decent run game and an up and coming QB.

On D, the OLB, FS and NT holes-to-gaping-holes in the D will not allow Dansby to be the key addition to the unit. Not that he isn't capable nor should his addition be minimized, but there are just so many other missing parts that even the draft isn't going to fill them all. Does anyone feel comfortable with Wake and Anderson/QMoses as our OLBs ?? Even if we land a Morgan or Hughes in the first, there are still questions about whether or not Wake can effectively man the WOLB spot. Then there is the uncertainty of the rookie. Even if we land a potential replacement or rotational player in each position (FS, NT, OLB), a lot would have to happen for the D to become a championship caliber in this offseason...

I picked Marshall, but only by a fraction. They're both excellent additions that should positively impact the team as a whole. I can't wait to see them both in action!!...

the position puts Marshall in more opportunites to be the difference maker......although I'll take a Dansby touchdown in the playoofs to win a game any day of the week...

Marshall, by the way, is very good at blocking downfield. I heard that he actually likes to block.

Dansby is huge for the defense. The unit is already better just because he is there. but my choice is Marshall. Obviously our offense is much better with his addition, but he helps the defense as well by keeping drives going and giving the defense a rest.
