he wouldn’t** be “The best he can be” was what i meant to say…..sure he is not as upbeat as he used to be but they are paying him to play not for his personality so he is doing just that. Seems fine with it cuz he sure was celebrating with stokely after he had that 87 yarder in week 1. Just my take on the whole situation

DD, They say he is not comfortable with it, and he says he is. when he gets out there he does stuff. of course stokely does more, its a probability thing, he is out there more (this isnt to take away from how intensely he is playing). The holding didn’t help situation but it was good hussle, now if he hadnt even tried to block him then he would be “the best that he can be”….I personally like what he is doing now, he isnt arguing, doing what he is told and not “fighting the system”. And the playmaker parts were Sharpes words not mine but i do agree.

TheRoyalBeast, as of right now, Marshall is not our “playmaker.” That would be the other Brandon, as in Stokley. It’s been reported that Marshall was taken out of the game for the 2nd quarter because he was running wrong routes & not completing his routes. The holding penelty didn’t help either. He is not being the best he can be. He has a long way to go. I refuse to give him credit till he has proven himself a team player.

Im with you Royal blue, not worried about Marshall either, he is leading in receptions even tho he is barely out there but when he is he does his thing and from his interview today it seems like he is dealing with it and not bitching like most diva recievers would, must have been something rod and shannon told him….after all like he said, you cant argue with results. All he can do is be ready to go when they need him. His time out there will increase as the weeks go bye….We should be more worried about Eddie Royal. Was here all off-season did his thing preseason, and knows everything. we need him to get some touches although with Marshall on the sideline they are prolly double teaming him now more. Shannon said it best, Marshall is our best playmaker…need to have him out there on the field.

Two things, real quick: I’ve said it before, Orton is there when you need him to be, and you need great quarterback play in the 4th quarter! Excellent points Baylinor and Broncs55.

Secondly, I’m not worried about Marshall. While he hasn’t done much in terms of big plays, he very quietly is leading the team in receptions with 7…which means that Orton knows he is the most gifted pass-catcher we have, and also that McD hasn’t given up on him. I hope he gets a new, incentive laden deal with a bunch of off-the-field behavioral clauses. So many times I’ve seen players elevate their games after getting big $$$. I don’t care what it takes, I want him out there running through and spinning around defenders.

Man, are we in for a touch stretch after Oakland. Dallas, New England, San Diego, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh all is a row. I think we’ll win at least 2 of those games- unlike all the so-called “experts”. I wouldn’t really be that surprised if we won 4 of those games, though. Dallas should be winnable, New England could be beaten if they stay in their slump, San Diego is a bit questionable with their injuries. Baltimore and Pittsburgh will be tough games. I think we could beat Baltimore over Pittsburgh, as the Steelers should have Polomaulu (I have no idea how to spell his name) back by the time we play them. They are a lot better with Polomaulu. All this 2-6 at midseason stuff is bull. We’ll be at least 4-4 or 5-3. I’m not saying Denver will make a deep playoff run (but they could surprise everyone!), but we won’t be as bad as everyone seems to think we will.

Guys i love to hear that Mike Martz *spelling* is sticking up for us. he keeps defending us everytime we get brought up, and it makes me respect him. he said we have alot of improvement but were not getting the respect we deserve.

….This is off the subject I know but I thought you guys would like to hear.

I live outside of Chicago in Illinois, so you can imagine the love affair this state is having with Cutler.

After the Green Bay game, the major sports radio station in the state was asking what the h*ll is with all the pouty faces Cutler shows. LOL! They actually had a contest on who had the worst “jerk” face. Him or Milton Bradley

Just thought it was funny….

brian_schneider:

I think Miami beating SD is a good possibility. I think those teams are evenly matched which tells me there is a 50% Miami can beat them.

I also think the Broncos are better than Miami, and they gave the Colts a run for their money. I think the Colts are a good team where I only put 2 teams in the Great category, that being Giants and Steelers – which tells me we went from bad to Good in 1 off season.

We will have to see how it all rolls out tho, as any given game day, who really knows what will happen!?!
