but I’ll be looking for this in the next game:

Marshall is adept at selling his hip and head movement and gearing down slightly with shorter steps to give the illusion that he is cutting a route off, causing the defender to bite up to his hip. Denver QB Jay Cutler does his part by giving a slight shoulder turn or pump-fake to help bait the defender, and Marshall then uses his agility to turn upfield and get behind the defensive back.

40-yard dash times in shorts mean little … the best receivers(and players) this league has ever seen rarely had elite measurables, including speed. steve largent, rod smith, hines ward, ed mccaffrey, chris carter, art monk, jerry rice, well, you get the idea. were any of these guys the fastest players to enter the league? not really, but they were some of the best. b-marsh can join them if he puts his mind to it, and i don’t understand why anyone would be surprised he can get open because he doesn’t have elite speed. there must be some kind of trickery involved. well yes, there is, that’s the game-within-the-game. he’s working hard at it, and it’s only going to get worse for db’s as he gains experience. the only thing receivers should be judged on are: if they are where they’re supposed to be, if they’re open, and if they can catch the ball. blocking ability for this team is also required, but not league-wide. brandon is improving in each area. throw the rest of the stuff out the window. i’m so tired of the chad johnson’s of the league being given all of the accolades. rod smith was more of a receiver than he will ever be. b-marsh is yet another slow receiver who is open and catches everything in his area code. the best kind

He is a stud WR and his ability to gain YAC make him even that more dangerous. If defenses don’t have someone on him after he catches the ball the off to the races he goes.
