JLC (on WTEM) just said he spoke with Lemar and that he was kinda surprised by the move, so there goes that theory

What else did he say and why hasn't he updated his Blog yet?

Marshall was always a team player, and seemed to handle his demotion as well as could be expected. I agree that the likely scenario is that he was aware that he would not necessarily be the first in line behind MW, and certainly not behind Fletcher with Blades making such a splash. He probably came in to camp thinking he would compete with Rocky, and we all see how that has played out.

His importance to the LB depth clearly having plummeted, Marshall probably went to Gibbs and asked for his release, so as to have a shot at another starting unit. It may not have been an easy decision, but the coaches clearly felt his presence was expendable.

Marshall was a great player in '04 and '05, and has been a solid teammate for many Redskins. I feel he has enough respect for this organization to keep from playing the defensive espionage role. I, for one, wish him the best. Thanks for all your hard work Lemar!

In the other thread it is noted that JLC just spoke to Marshall and he was surprised by the move. So the above scenario is probably not accurate.

If you want to keep Blades fine, but Sartz and Godfrey flat out stink at this point and neither is a reliable back-up for Rocky or Marcus. And Khary is just a special teams stiff. Ugh...

edit: nevermind - it was this thread...bad brain~

wow, kinda shocking. not as big of a surprise to me as the release of Trotter tho.

Lemar's tackling was about 1% better than a Mr. Holdman's. certainly won't miss him there. we will miss his knowledge of the system, especially while he was out there with the young guys in the preseason. oh well, good luck to ya Lemar *unless u sign with an nfc east team!

No, but if you whine and ***** about other people trying to keep this board from falling apart, then you may get NNT'ed.

Nah, actually nobody is whining at all, but I do recall a mod(s) saying that calling for someone to get NNT'd, could very well get you NNT'd, maybe you should pay more attention homeboy.
