Lemar Marshall released for Randall Godfrey??

Marshall was indeed released according to a AP wire story on Foxsports.com

This move is bad like Trotter getting the boot, but makes room for new blood. Don't know much about Godfrey though. Anybody care to enlighten me?

read above post. also you can find his stats on wikipedia

hmmm will the eaglettes go after Lamar?

probably will now since they released jeremiah trotter today.

He was probaboly our biggest defensive playmaker in 2005, however. I mean the entire defense did a great job and he was in good position alot of times...but if you go back to 2005, he made some HUGE plays for us.... Yes he did . He has been our best cover LB the past few years . Why anyone questions his play at MLB is puzzling ,,, that would be the same as moving Taylor to CB , then blaming him for not being the next D Green . Marshall will end up in Chicago , NYG or Phily and have a nice career . I guess M Washington will get the ax next year and we will bring in J Seau . We should have atleast gottten a 6th rounder for him .

I think Marcus Washington was are best coverer he did drop like 3 -4 Ints this year and with that could have given him his first Pro-bowl (Which he should of-
had 2 years ago.

don't like the move of cutting marshall.... i do like the moe i bringing in Godfrey tho, he's a pretty solid vet... I'm also interested in seeing H.B. and Startz get alittle bit of playing time via Marcus will not be healty thruout the season nd Godfrey is old, plus a ? mark

Honestly I haven't seen anything from Dallas Sartz. Dallas has not impressed me at all in preseason. I have no doubt in my mind that Lemar Marshall is way better than Dallas Sartz. What I don't understand is why would we get rid of Marshall, when we have guys like Matt Sinclair, and Kevin Jones on the roster that we can cut, to get Godfrey, instead. Could you imagine the depth we would have at LB if we had Randall Godfrey, and Lemar Marshall?

It was only surprising because Lemar knows the system and played fairly well for us. But, he wasn't going to start for us this year anyways. So, it wouldn't have affected our defense unless somebody got hurt. Maybe he asked to be released when he found out they are bringing in Godfrey and realized his chance of starting was very slim.

Kelli Johnson on comcast made a good point that's been made before, the core skin talk doesn't seem to mean much at times. LM did a lot for the team, filled in where asked to & played hurt.

The more I think about this it sounds like it was GW's move. I hope Gibbs isn't letting his assistants decide who gets cut, but it really looks like it here. Godfrey played for GW in Tenn. I would hope that Gibbs valued LM a lot & gave this a lot of thought.
