exactly I wasnt saying it wasnt anything other than that.....As long as he focuses that anger on his play....and not some anti-team thing, this is a win win situation.....

Another thing, you think Parcells saw it?? I do......if Sparano didnt talk to him already championing the kid, Tuna will......ALOT of players, present, and former say about how much he cares for the players....Brandon is young and wild still, he needs a guy like the Tuna to take him under....I suspect he will...

Did it disrupt practice? Did it impede practice? Did he do it after he himself screwed up? Yup.

Is this overblown at this stage? Yup.

I guess you can look at it either way and be right. But it is a tad concerning that he lets his emotions get the best of him like this. It can manifest itself in another way during the game.

Having said that though, it is a different reasoning than the Broncos fiasco. He seems like he is punishing himself for dropping passes. I just wish he did it in another fashion or made himself a vow to not let it happen again.

hmm this should be interesting...

Yes, at least he is showing a fire and is upset unlike the old # 19

I still say he should change his number! :yes:

i love how the story says its the same exact thing he did in denver last year.........he did it being a bitch last year in the middle of drills to show his disdain at the coaches/front office....

he did it this time cause he was disapointed in himself. no biggy. just like when a corner drops a int and does push ups in the middle of the field, delaying practice. what nfl player cant do 10 pushups? but they do it to "punish" themselves, brandon was pissed and kicked a ball, then stood to let it soak in on the sideline....

i chalk this up to the "no big deal" file.

Can't fault him for being competitive. He needs to learn to channel it though.

I agree. Give him #42 and he won't drop the ball all year. :up:

God the PBP is complete ****.

In all honesty,I am like this at work myself.
The thing is I'm passionate about what I do and sometimes those emotions do get in the way.Is it right..,sometimes no,but it's all because I want to do the best I can. Can't put to much into this.I'm sure the media will have enough fun with it.

Ben Volin is a bit of an idiot, IMO. His parallel between Marshall's punting last year and this year doesn't make much sense, and I suspect he's not quite informed as to what happened between Marshall and the Broncos organization. Seems like he's just regurgitating summary sentences he reads on ESPN.

Anyway, not too big of a deal here. Though I'm starting to believe this stuff about Marshall's number being cursed...

Hear, hear.

Change.

Your.

Number.

Goddamn it.

As long as HE KEEPS IT ON THE FIELD!!!

I really don't mind, by now we have all watched the BMarsh youtube stuff and when he was appearing with Cutler he spoke about "football should be fun".

And it should be, this is a good test for Sparano, Marshall isn't a Joey Porter malignant presence, he is a high strung guy, how Sparano handles this matters..going forward.

Personally I'd run some Wr end arounds with Marshall throwing the rock to someone just to lighten the mood

i dont like the he drops the passes but im glad he gets mad

It's good if he gets mad at himself?

Yeah sure. if his reaction is to catch 100 balls from the jugs machine as punishment.

punting the football is a baby move. someone tweeted that every single WR except Marshall was at the jugs machine practicing. spin this how you want. I'm sure every team that TO went to there were those hoping he was a changed man.

Marshall has been a baby before. It's on him to prove to me (just me, yall are adults who can make up your own mind) that he has changed, not vice versa.

Did you just compare Marshall's punting the football to TO's locker room detonation? Really? I'm starting to think people have forgotten exactly what TO did in San Fran and Philly, and tried to do in Dallas.

This is a big deal only if it turns out to be the starting point for a bigger problem, which I don't think is even realistic. In the end, we're talking about a receiver frustrated with his performance, not a receiver trying to hog the ball, insult his quarterback, divide the locker room, and create discord.

I don't see how this relates to what he did in Denver. It could eventually, but not right now.

I heard Marshall also slapped a baby, shot a policeman, and smoked crack with a hooker. Man he sucks. I knew we should not have signed him. :lol:

I disagree Jd, at least somewhat, the thing with super talented people is they are quirky..really quirky..it is up to Sparano to manage the situation.

This is Head Coaching problem #2 for Sparano, the drone team from 08 is not the team from 2010, it is up to him to manage it.

Talent management is a part of the Coaches job description.

Some folks worry too much about too many things

Yes I compared it. Notice I did not equate them. Analogies don't have to be equal. ;)

Again, his past history is there. For me, its up to him to show he's changed. Not vice versa. Just because he's wearing my teams colors doesn't change that.

he's acted bad in the past. This is further bad behavior.

TO has blown up many locker rooms. And he continues to do so when somewhere for more than a year. Marshall can be a new man. and I sure do hope so. I just bought his jersey. I have high hopes for him. But still, he has to prove he has changed. He doesn't get that benefit from me, just because he inked a deal with my team.

Ideally, they would be at least accurate. :lol:

Agreed, but this isn't worth ringing the alarm bells over. An NFL player is displeased with his performance in practice--so what?

Marshall hasn't blown up any locker rooms. The TO comparison is invalid.

The point here; and I think this is also what JD307 is saying......there is a right way and a wrong way to express your frustration.
Punting the football because you're mad at yourself for making a mistake does nothing to remedy the problem.
If you want to do something about it then go practice with the jugs machine. Do something that will actually make you better at your job. That's the grown up way of dealing with problems.
