Lemar Marshall released for Randall Godfrey??

why wasn't Marshall treated as a core redskin? he did play well against Pitts, and can play more then one position, which gives him value. i cant wait to hear the explanation

Lets be honest, we won't really be able to tell whether this was good or bad until the end of the year when we compare:

(1) How he did on whatever team he will have signed on with, and

(2) How we did without him, especially at his position.

Remember how we fumed at Lavar Leaving???

I mentioned H.B. Blades. Blades has showed the most potential in preseason and has been responsible for most of the tackles which still has not allowed a TD in the second half of the preseason games. Take a look at the hit he put on Griffith in the Tennesse game. Marshall is not the only veteran who will be cut in the near future. I think Rock Cartwright, Ade Jimoh and Derrick Blaylock will be cut. Marcus Mason has a good chance to make the team if the Cartwright and Blaylock continue to struggle.


One blown coverage and you are cut?
Double standard much.?.?
What about the solo tackle for a 4 yard loss by Marshall at the beggining of the 3rd quater?
So what you are saying is Anthony Trucks and Dallas Sartz have shown more, are better and have more upside than Lemar Marshall? No.
Why do we discard a useful player and keep guys like Reed Doughty who done and shown nothing?
I call BS!
Marshall said or did something to piss off Williams.
Lemar Marshall will be picked up and be playing well for another team this year.

Lemar is a good player but not a starter. And other younger LB's have outplayed him so far. Godfrey is a disciple of Williams from their Titans days together. Even if he never gets in a game, it's a quality move.

Why the fuck did we cut Marshall for this guy? The Chargers released him for some chronic health issues. He is old as dirt on top of that. I didn't think Marshall had deteriorated that bad in his play. Even if it was a money thing he would have been a great backup for Rocky or any other LB for that matter. Godfrey had chronic hamstring problems, what is upgrade here?

If you study the cap sheets, I still think that it comes down to clearing up cap room for Cooley. We just drafted 2 young LB's, and one of the 2 drafted looks really good. I am stunned by this move, but I kinda understand the move also. And lets be honest, LM should have lit it up against 2nd and 3rd stringers if he was that good...

Apparently they ilked the guy. THat is a positive thing. I swear that we Skins fans are the most pesimistic SOB's in the world.

Aren't they paying Godfrey more than Marshall?

Those people from San Diego stay classy.

They also don't know much about the Redskins. And those sigs. Earthquake would be in Heaven. One note: They have a seperate forum dedicated to free agents which I think is a good idea. The Internet GMs can hang out in there.
