Archive for Brandon Marshall

Just a low-key meet and greet, eh?

http://twitter.com/ChrisEgan5 #Seahawk Fans, Brandon Marshall landed at the VMAC via sea plane with Pete Carroll and King-5 waiting for his arrival.

I dont know how your job interviews go, but I dont remember getting the sea plane treatment like Brandon Marshall, very smooth #Seahawks

Matt Hasselbeck also hanging out at the VMAC as Brandon Marshall take a tour of #Seahawk headquarters

Sounds like more to me, sounds like Brandon Marshall will be a Seahawk.

Just imagine if someone came in to the Broncos a while back and was met off the plane by John Elway and Mike Shanahan–they want Marshall. They’re downplaying it because of negotiations.

Can’t happen soon enough, either.

Brandon Marshall Visiting Seahawks on Saturday

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Adam Schefter reports Brandon Marshall will visit the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday in hopes of working out a deal.

I love it, please give us one of your first round draft picks, thank you.

Seattle may just be the one to give us the Tylenol.

We’re Not Matching An Offer For Marshall

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Fools, goobers, morons lend me your ears.

Let the voice of reality sink in.

The Broncos handed “the best wide receiver in football” a first round tender.

Now I see some of you people spinning this–as you spin out of control–I see some of you people saying we did this “so we can see his value and match the offer.”

What a joke.

Are you people for real? Like that Numby at the Post? Are you for real?

Do we have people in middle school writing some of these blogs and posting on forums? If so, that’s honestly excusable. In cases where they ain’t: that’s ridiculous.

Some of you people can’t see the writing on the wall–I seen it since before the 2009 season began.

We are NOT matching an offer for Brandon Marshall. We are NOT rewarding Marshall’s attitude and BS. Marshall will NOT be the face of this franchise for years to come.

Not because I don’t think so, not because I don’t want it to happen. It’s reality, plain and simple.

“Fair market value,” is a bunch of BS too, Marshall is a risk, he is a poison, forget about equal trade value.

He’s gone, get over it.

I believe the Jets might be the one to pull the trigger. They’re somewhat established over there and they need a possession style receiver to compliment Edwards. Marshall is the missing piece in their puzzle.

Seahawks? Well they got trade ammo, but bringing in a locker room cancer, bringing in a troublemaker with a brand new head coach? Good luck, if they go that route.

Marshall’s gone, we are not paying millions for his BS, we are not making him rich to sit in a game with playoff implications. We’re not making him rich to see if he can remain out of trouble, yet again.

You can replace Marshall, you can replace the production of a wide receiver, split his production between two players. You can’t replace Dumervil’s production, plus the fact that Dumervil is a professional–Marshall is not.

No way is this coach  going to reward Marshall for his BS, no way, no how. Not with what he’s trying to instill in these players, in this franchise. All the hugs in the world ain’t gonna smooth over the truth that Marshall is unprofessional, a locker room cancer, a risk to even stay on the field and slightly overrated.

Marshall is not the best wide receiver in football, he’s not dynamic enough. He is a great possession receiver and gets good yards after the catch, he’s a decent blocker too. He ain’t no Larry Fitzgerald game-breaker.

Let’s hope someone else thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread, and we’ll let someone else take the risk.

Very good, and I fully expected this. Forget about “fair market value” when it comes to trading Brandon Marshall. A 1st round tender is a good starting point to send him packing.

The Broncos also gave Orton and Kuper a first round tender, and a second round tender goes to Scheffler. Second rounder for Scheffler is obviously too high, but I’m sure it will be a start for trade negotiations.

Unbelievable, you have fools that still believe Marshall will be coming back. You have fools thinking a first round pick isn’t enough for Marshall.

Let the bidding begin, and we can’t get rid of him fast enough.

Some of these sea cucumbers who don’t know McDaniels and don’t know this team will probably turn on McDaniels and the front office once the trade goes down. Maybe they’ll even start to follow another team. That’s fine, just amounts to less woefully insufficient tact to slug through on the Broncos blogosphere.

2010 NFL Combine Thoughts

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Watched some of the combine, that Ndamukong Suh looks like a monster, very impressed with that guy. Golden Tate looked good, if we took a wide receiver early I wouldn’t mind him even though Bryant looks very impressive on film. All depends on how Bryant interviews, seems like too many red flags. I think we’re drafting either defensive line or offensive line with the first pick. Dan Williams certainly looked good, he can play nose and even end. If someone falls though, you never know. But I’d say offensive line or defensive line with the first pick.

Skelton and Pike still look like good options to me at quarterback in the second or third round, that LeFevour that Bonehead at the Post wants might actually not be bad either, due to his athleticism.

John Conner The Terminator

John Conner

There is a wealth of big, fast running backs this year and I want one of them in the later rounds. We need a slugger for hard yardage if we’re staying with Buckhalter as the second back. You see that fullback John Conner, the Terminator there? I’d replace Peyton Hillis with that guy in a heartbeat. First downs and touchdowns on the goal line, that’s what he does, that’s all he does and that’s exactly what we need. Running behind a revamped offensive line interior, of course. There’s our fullback (a position rarely gets out there under McDaniels anyways), send in John Conner on third and inches. I’d be happy as hell if we drafted this guy in the later rounds, or a facsimile thereof. If this guy gets to the line of scrimmage and just falls forward we got three yards right there. That Montario Hardesty wasn’t bad neither, we need a non-flashy hard runner for the tough yards.

Brandon Marshall’s gone, not a matter of if but when and for how much. I’d say one first rounder, or two second rounders (one this year and one next year) or a player and a second. Something like that should do it. Tony Scheffler? All this speculation of a third round pick for Scheffler is nonsense as far as I’m concerned. He ain’t that great. I’ll say a fourth at best or even just a fifth rounder for Scheffler. Hillis will be tougher to trade, he’s shown at times he has some ability, but not playing much this past year will hurt his stock.
