I know a lot of people think he was our best CB..but I just never believed. Nothing personal. I wish him the best. But half the job of a DB is tackling. He was below average in my opinion. For reference…look at the kick off return (the TD) for Kentucky. Marshall gives a jogging effort as usual..but winds up in front of the returner because the returner made several moves that slowed him down. However, Marshall got turned around 2 times! Never finding the right angle to go for a tackle! Just an absurd looking play that for me epitomizes his level of defense. I’m sure he thought he gave max effort..but it’s just not a level of skill that benefits us. On the other hand..Gates will take on a blocker full go and make a play most of the time. He is what we used to have all over the defensive backfield. Just my opinion.
Every thread, no matter the topic of the thread, it is always the same thing. We have two threads already on the fire Billy obsession; one at around 150 pages plus, the other at 110 pages plus. Guess that isn't enough for them. The fire everyone crowd are like the flu or herpes. They have to infect everything. It's disgusting.
I was making fun of all threads quickly switching to the same topic. A variation of Godwin's Law. And yes, Sutherland's brief cameo was hilarious. He had to be high for that. Right?
