Brandon Marshall shines in Miami Dolphins training camp

yeah, I just blew a load

 

D. Revis, Brandon Marshall is coming for your sorry arse

 

lol, that was funny dude.

All three rookies starting with the first unit...pleeeease be that good..

 

I wish that I lived in Miami so I could go to training camp!

 

i know people say they "get hard" when they read this stuff.....but honest to god. i got a little chubby after reading it.......wow.

 

That might happen to you alot this year.

 

How good is this for Smith though? Seriously? He's getting his butt taken to the shed and hopefully learning from it so that this doesn't happen (or as often) on game day.

 

he's going against brandon "****ing" marshall.

give him a break

 

awww.....sorry bro

 

You couldn't pay me enough to have to line up across from Marshall.

 

Nothing little about my chubby

 

Just re-read what I wrote, my bad... that was rhethorical. I was trying to say it's a good thing. He'll learn from this and minimize his mistakes down the road when it's on the line.

 

Marshall dominates Sean Smith? Yawn. Wake me when he faces Aquib Talib on the 14th...

 

Sean Smith's mantra throughout training camp / practice this year?

"Amberlamps"

 

This is good for our young CBs. Facing our collection possession receivers in practice wouldn't have prepared them for the #1s they'll get on gameday, and they'd certainly be exposed in the playoffs. Acquiring Marshall should help both the passing game and our pass defense immensely.

 

Wouldn't expect anything less for the money.
Wouldn't expect anything less from the best WR we had since Irving Fryer by golly.

 

I have a sneaking suspicion that the coaches will give Sean a daily dose of the Marshall treatment to help iron out some of the kinks (not physical enough) in his game. I like the idea, but I'd love to see Vontae get his fair share also, him being our number one corner and all.

 

balls

 

One problem here: Marshall is a possession receiver.

 

you are going to miss a lot of football

 

Not this again, D. I love reading your opinion man but it seems like you've had this discussion a million times. He's still going to cause hell down the field and after the catch. He'll gain big yardage at times.

 

I'd love to see Aqib Talib flip his hips and run with Marshall. Talib changes directions like a crew ship.

 

Beast.

 

Great practice and learning curve for Smith hopefully.

 

No, don't get me wrong, I'm not using the term to denigrate Marshall. I don't use "possession receiver" as a pejorative, though a lot of people will. Marshall's great after the catch, but his yards per reception has lowered every year despite having pretty good yards after catch, which tells me he's caught balls near the LOS and had to fight for yards. That's not how a classical deep threat plays WR.

All I'm saying is, if people expect him to be the same type of receiver as, say, DeSean Jackson, they're in for a rude awakening. DeSean Jackson catches balls 20 yards out and runs halfway down the field into the end zone. There have been games in which Jackson caught 4 passes for 100 yards, or 3 for 75, or 6 for 175.

Brandon Marshall is not that type of receiver. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Edit: If Marshall can catch passes a few yards upfield and then put his toughness/RAC to work, there's no reason why he can't bump his YPC up to the 15 range, which puts him in league with Andre Johnson. As it stands, his YPC is "only" in the same range as Larry Fitzgerald's. I don't have a problem with that.

 

Well, if folks recall the Brandon Marshall miked up episode on NFLN, he told Orton he was going to slip Ashmougha the way he did Smith because he had him set up for it.

It would be nice if some of the young Wr's, Turner, Wallace, et al learn that move.

 

It would be twice as nice if the young CBs can learn how he sets them up.

Marshall's says he's going back to the film so he can beat Davis tomorrow.

I think this is the most exciting thing i've ever read on this board... The only thing that comes close is when we got brandon marshall

 

and the great thing is he wont be hobbled by a bum ankle for 4-6 weeks

 

I like this:

 

that's a great quote and what i expect from a great veteran

I'm salivating at the thought of Henne to Marshall.

 

Man. I can't help but let myself be overly optimistic about this year. Brandon Marshall almost single-handedly made the Broncos competitive. I can't imagine that team without him, or ours with him. This is just...exciting.

 

He will be exciting.
