I like BM. However, I think he is only a team player if he is getting his... One thing that caught my eye yesterday is after Cobbs scored a TD Brandon was heading away from the end zone without congratulating Cobbs. Fasano was jogging into the end zone to congratulate Cobbs and stuck out his hand for a high-5 to BM as he passed by. It was as if something clicked in BM like "Oh yeah...I am supposed to also celebrate when someone else on the team scores too." so he turned around and went to congratulate Cobbs. I think for BM to work long-term with Miami it will only happen if 1) he gets his, and 2) when he does go through his emotionally immaturity on and off the field not too big of a deal is made of it.
He would have been a steal at #12...........the guy was top 5 talent. It took him a half season to make Miles Austin and Roy Williams both take a back seat to him. We had the balls to call his mom a whore but not enough balls to just draft him.......
The Dolphins are paying Marshall 10 million dollars a year to catch the football. Henne was not doing a very good job in recent weeks at getting the ball to Marshall. Also with his height and ability to jump. Not throwing the ball to him more often in the end zone makes no sense at all. I have no problem at all with Marshall being upset. He makes his 10 million whether he catches any balls or not. I would much rather he be upset about his lack of chances then just to accept it and take the money.
Everybody knows Brandon Marshall gets all amped up during the game. They do need to find ways to get him the ball b/c he's one of the best players on the offense. They didn't pay him all of that money to be a decoy. I hope they didn't anyway. I bet Thiggy goes to him a lot on Thursday night.
I believe Thiggy will look for Marshall early and often. Also with Thigpens ability to make plays outside of the pocket should also help free up the beast a little bit too. I'm thinking Marshall has a BIG game Thursday.
<huge sigh> At least I didn't have an infatuation with the kid pre-draft or feel that he'd be an exemplary player at the next level. Not sure why I'm laughing. LOL To think what our offense and special teams would look like if we had Dez & Jacoby Ford joining Marshall & Bess...... and on special teams. That would've been absolutely beautiful!! I hate this conservative drafting philosophy at times. IMO the draft should be like a football game. Once in a while you just gotta go for the jugular. Rare talents like these guys dont come along enough to pass them by IMO. They're like the "planet theory". It was obvious that Dez was a future Andre Johnson type impact player, and Ford can outrun EVERYONE on the football field!!!.... possibly including Chris Johnson when a helmet and pads are on. Passing on Jacoby when we had no viable deep threat is a colossal mistake. A backup (possibly starting future LB) can be picked up any draft, where as 4.2 speed that can track the ball, catch it, and play with competitive toughness can not. DeSean Jackson and Mike Wallace should've been a big enough clue that these guys can really f#@% up a defense!!
