People can rip on Brandon, but it's hard to doubt his passion for the game and desire to be the best.

He's doing what every NFL football player should be doing, getting his body in optimum condition for the employer that pays him millions..much respect to him, and nothing to the others that are not.

He needs to do something. Last season was a huge disappointment.
I think he is making excuses here for his poor production.
I hope 2011 is very different for him because he was pretty average in 2010. -

Imo, from what he was projected at before he wore our uniform, which was top 5 receiver, and solely looking how he played his position from all angles, I think he fell short of that ranking..too many dropped passes, a lack of burst that seemed to be missing for a guy in the top 5, and way too much horizontal *****footing..but, hes ours, and hes good, and big, and strong, and I dont think we've seen his best.
-
marshalls a beast. my only issue with the guy is his desire to get YAC is often the reason he gets hurt. I know what your thinking "At least hes not like Ginn and just whimpers out of bounds" but the truth is, Marshall should do that occasionally.

Wheres the (diva) team destroyer?
Personaly the positive attitude and fact hes keeping in shape is a perfect start for a new season.
Backing Henne? Thats like getting frosting on the cake.
No matter if Henne starts or not, Marshall seem to be on the right page. -
Congrats Marshall.
(*Most here proceed to try and take away my Dolfan card) -
can he play center? :shifty: we really need a centerwhy not kill two birds with one stone?
if he can, he'll have the ball in his hands every play
think about it -
what's most important is that he and the WRs spend some time with Henne this offseason, much like Sanchez did last year ... it was painful to see just how disjointed Marshall and Henne were last year. Just that alone would make a significant difference is offense performance over last year - regardless of the defenses focus on Brandon, lack or running game and our hodge-podge OL.

everyone entitled to their opinion, Friend Krypto no differentseem to recall some of your posts lacking discretion & direction
I agree with his basic premise, although he might have framed it a little differently, it's a valid point
very difficult to run all over NFL defenses today
throwing stones, glass houses & all that... better to post the thread
clearly you're the football genius?
be nice :yes: -
If this is some lopsided attempt to give Marshall a pass? It didn't work on me.
2.8 YAC average is poor for a supposed top 5 WR like Marshall and there were something like 55 or 60 WR's that had more TD's than our star wideout.
With that kind of production we should have kept Ginn and our two second round picks. Ginn could catch the ball and run out of bounds for less than three yards every time which is basically what BM did last season. -
-
As far as the TD's, it wasnt just Marshall. Our whole offense was pathetic. Plus, how often was Marshall targeted in the red zone? How many countless times did we get to the red zone only to try to throw the ball to someone else or run the ball and kick a FG? Marshall had SIX catches in the red zone. SIX. I wish I had numbers for how often he was targeted in the red zone, but that stat isnt available in the splits. But out of those measly 6 receptions in the red zone, 50% of them went for TDs. You think it might have been beneficial to our offense to target him more in the red zone?
Regardless, Marshall was criminally mis-used and underutilized last year... and yet he still was on pace for 100rec and 1,200 yards. -

What I have said, is that Marshall didnt get the YAC b/c he wasnt put in positions where he could get the ball in space, and that goes on the OC. Marshall also lacked red zone targets (aka - low TDs), which may be on the OC and may be on the QB.Ohio Fanatic likes this. -
The crux here folks is Brandon Marshall is billed as a playmaker whether you want to blame Henne or the coverages he just didn't make big plays.
There are two things that prevent that. The lack of opportunities or the lack of focus and effort. He had plenty of opportunities so it is safe to say it was the latter.
More than once on third down Henne put the ball on Marshall's hands and he dropped it with a blown chance to extend the drive.
He is supposed to be super star quality but he just hasn't shown it in Miami.
