Rebuilding means giving Richard Marshall that contract???

Thanks for posting the INT numbers, this gives me some hope. The encouraging thing about our defense was that they really learned to generate turnovers all around. I got used to seeing our LB's and even d-linemen coming away with the ball, now hopefully we'll see more in the secondary.

where are all these turnovers?...19 turnovers last was TERRIBLE only 4 teams were below.

Unless your living in 08 when we had 30.

i think he is referring to all the "JefFIREland" crowd and the 5 protestors in Davie today because we didnt get that Franchise guy..

oh know! we cant fix every hole in 2 weeks@!!@!
 
Aaron Ross just got a $15.3 million dollar contract from Jacksonville. Marshall's contract is in line with that, so i can't complain.
 
yeah this is a bit ridiculous...this is the signing im happiest about...this guy was a beast coming out of college and has been very good in his career.....and can play 3 positions

This is truly one of the biggest problems facing executives. This generation who has grown up playing Madden franchise mode who feels they can do better (I grew up in this generation too, but I'm logical enough to realize that madden ratings don't mean ****, and operating the salary cap is much tougher in real life)
 
I emailed my bud who's a long-time Cardinals season ticket holder seeing the action from about 12 rows up near the 50yd line about Marshall. This is the same guy who declared that Pace was mediocre until his contract year and we shouldn't be too upset having been outbid by the jest. Anyway, his take is that Marshall is okay as a nickel back but "We played him at free safty due to injury, not a good preformance, "toast".

Take it for what it's worth. :idk:
 
I think Marshall is proven, and that begs the question that you are signing a guy in his prime to a team that isn't going to win a playoff game in the near future. But Ireland is selling that like any organization would. But truth be told, this team is re-creating. To re-build implies you rebuild something that was good prior to. This is a creation mode. The Dolphins haven't found a success mode in a long time and one has to be created, which in this case involves an offense (WCO) that hasn't been present in Miami (to my knowledge). The tough part here is you have a relatively competent defense who has to watch the other side of the ball be created, leaving them with the bag. Think of the defense as General Lee's rear guard defending his retreat from Gettysburg shortly after Pickett's charge (one of the all time military disasters). I like Marshall and want guys like him, but to create will require blowing up what is already there. Maybe that is why Wake isn't getting a new contract.
 
For all you guys clamoring that Marshall will be our FS, he won't. He's a solid to good nickel back and has the hips to actually change direction unlike Jimmy Wilson. His range isn't all that fantastic even though he has a good 40 time to play FS and he takes MANY chances. It will help to up our turnover ratio, but it will also lend to us getting burned deep.

What I think the lineup COULD be for this season is.

CB - Vontae Davis
CB - Sean Smith
FS - Chris Clemons or Draft Pick
SS - Reshad Jones
Nickel - Richard Marshall.

If they go with that secondary, that is one young talented and fast secondary.
