I think we can thank Revis for not realizing how good he was. The few times he played us, Revis shut him down.
That's when I saw how good Marshall was, when he was with Miami. While Revis was shutting down Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Terrelle Owens, and anybody else he faced, and actually made some of them quit on the field, Brandon Marshall fought Darrelle harder than them all. He's a great player, always was
Aside from Stevie Johnson (who owned Revis), I think Marshall gave Revis the toughest fits of any WR without owning him necessarily. Marshall is simply a HOF talent, and has transformed this offense.
I wish they would have kept the gif going... if only to see Wilk pancake the fuck out of both of 'em.
Great player, love watching him play. Getting him for a 5th round pick was the steal of the offseason, he is a legit top 10 WR in this league. And I'm not sure I can name more than 4 or 5 guys better right now.
What's funny is now he has a QB who he's on the same page with and recognizes how good he is...anytime there's one on one coverage, it's going to BMarsh. I just hope once defenses start to adjust, that Fitz can start hitting Decker, Smith, Owusu, etc for some big plays. A guy like Marshall will open up the game for the speedsters. This bye week has come at a good time. Fitz can get more acculmated with Smith and Owusu will be back as well. I expect Washington, we see some big plays to one of the speedsters, and MArshall will continue to eat hearty...
He's a great receiver, one of the most talented in the league. But he's also a headcase, so you have to weigh the good with the bad. As long as he doesn't make too many boneheaded mistakes (ie lateral in Eagles game), it will be well worth it. At this point you could say the good outweighs the bad, but please no more laterals!
I maybe looking way too much into this but the picture I've seen with BMarsh and Sheldon I hope it's a good thing. BMarsh got into a LOT of legal crap but has turned his life around and by all accounts is a good dude. Maybe Marshall can help Sheldon out, maybe lead him to become a better person and to become the best at his position instead of going towards the way of potentially being out the league. Lead him BMArsh!
Can a computer-savvy homie post a gif of the NON-interference penalty near the goal line, Revis on Marshall, from like three years ago? I believe it turned into a Revis pick-6. This is the play that led to Revis hanging up on Francessa the next day, after Francessa tried to badger him into admitting that it was defensive PI. HOW DOES MARSHALL HAVE A RIGHT TO THAT REAL ESTATE, FUCK-ASS?!?! That kind of abject ignorance still eats at me because terrible PI calls are such a bane of the game, and "icons" like Francessa are supposed to educate fans, not reinforce stupidity. Receivers and ref and ESPECIALLY media clowns seem to think that offensive players have a right to run their patterns right through defensive players. Marshall's momentum was 85% responsible for the contact!!! Ok, I'm starting to feel a little better.
