Sauerbrun to be Cut; Marshall Rumors from Profootballtalk.com

Firstly here is the link for the Sauerbrun story.

It looks to me like Denver has decided that they are going to raise their expectations for the team, which is great news.  This is less about second (and third and fourth) chances and onfield production as it is about wanting to set a higher standard for the team.  They expect leaders even on STs and they aren't willing to tolerate the underachieving anymore, which is saying something when you are talking about a punter, whom Shanahan once referred to as "The only player who I wouldn't care if he was fat..."

Secondly, this rumor will probably float around to some of you today, and I warn you that it is likely either made up or totally overblown.  I'm not interested in bashing anyone else in the blogosphere, but sometimes www.profootballtalk.com does the information community a huge disservice.  But what do they care for what I think, I just plugged 'em.

Marshall is young, and if you have any doubts about whether he is a guy who follows his emotions, for better or worse, shelve them.  He is emotionally oriented and directed, but if anyone can make him more of a professional and teach him to harness that energy and power and put it in service of his rational mind, it will be Shanahan.  We all had to go through this process to some degree, but it can be upsetting when a regular Joe gets it figured out around 16 or so, and an adult being paid millions seems to be actually putting off this part of his personal development.  

You need to put this kind of stuff behind you, Marshall.

Love, MHR
