Play nice guys. Thanks. Ive had a migraine for almost 3 days now. Its why i cant read these threads. They just add to the pain.

Many headaches originate because of a lack of circulation in the hands from what I've heard. You might try massaging them (better if you have someone else do it).

Its happening because i still have mercury in my brain cells. I was treated for merc/lead poisoning in 2009. It can be removed from the body but nearly impossible in the brain cells.

How did you get mercury in your system to begin with? That's extremely rare this day and age.

I'm assuming you have been downing old school thermometer's (you must be from an alternate universe - Fringe lover's will get it).

Context is important. When he mentions the word "decent" it is in the context of Marshall replacing a starter, not as a NB.

Context and actually responding to what I posted and not some make believe post that people imagine in their head.

Some people get in trouble when they call other posters stupid. Thanks for being just as expected by praising such behavior.

Your outliers are piling up, Big Guy.

I suppose one could take the argument that teams don't usually cut productive players, not without a reason. Sorry if you think that point is stupid because, for me, I have questions about why he got cut as well. It isn't like Miami needed the cap space.

maybe they needed a roster spot more than this player and did him a favor by cutting him early so he could find another team? roster moves are not always cap-space driven.

I didn't say they were always cap driven. But given the Phins issues defending the pass you would think they would want to keep a CB if he was good, wouldn't you?

Yeah, say an untruth enough times and you eventually begin to believe it I suppose.

Didn't know that. Sorry, sounds like it sucks. I had migraines as a kid but outgrew it. Dealt with chronic sinus induced headaches for years until I had surgery a couple of years ago.

When Richard Marshall was shockingly released by the Miami Dolphins last week, he became a hot commodity on the open market, receiving a lot of attention from several teams

Luckily for the Bolts, the cornerback decided his best move was to become a Charger.

“There are a lot of reasons why I thought this was a good fit,” he said in the locker room after his first practice in San Diego. “I’m closer to home and closer to my family and that feels good, but it’s also a good fit on a good defense.”

As such, the Chargers are happy to have him on board.

“(Marshall’s) a great addition to our football team,” said head coach Mike McCoy. “We are trying to add any player who can help us win football games. There are a lot of coaches who have worked with him whether it was Carolina, Arizona or Miami. So he’ll be a good addition.”

In his first seven years in the league, Marshall recorded 451 tackles, 57 passes defensed, 18 interceptions and seven sacks over his career. Originally a second-round draft pick (58th overall) by the Panthers out of Fresno State in 2006, Marshall spent the first five years of his career in Carolina. His final two years there came under the tutelage of Chargers secondary coach Ron Milus, who held the same position with the Panthers. After leaving Carolina, Marshall spent 2011 with the Arizona Cardinals under the guidance of Chargers Offensive Coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, who was the team’s head coach at the time. Not surprisingly, Milus and Whisenhunt’s presence on the Chargers played a factor in his decision to come to San Diego.

“Them being here did play a role,” Marshall said. “Coach Milus was my cornerback coach in Carolina for two years so we are really familiar with each other. Then Whisenhunt was my head coach when I was with Arizona for one year and coach (Kevin) Spencer was also the special teams coach there, so I know those guys pretty well. They know the type of players they are getting out of me. Coach Milus knows what’s best for me. He knows my strengths and weaknesses so coming here wasn’t only closer to home and my family, but having them here was a big part of it as well.”

Not only does Marshall boast experience of playing at a high level, he is a versatile player capable of playing multiple roles in the secondary.

“I try to learn as much as possible,” he said. “I have had the opportunity to work at several different positions in the secondary with the teams I have been with. The thing with me is once I learn it, I’ll be fine… I mainly played corner but would slide over to nickel. I also played a little safety toward the end of camp (with the Dolphins).”

Most importantly, Marshall is confident in his abilities and believes he will make an impact right away on defense. What he needs to get down first is the language the team uses, and that’s where a player such as Eric Weddleshines as a leader.

“I think I’m good at covering and coming up to make the tackle,” Marshall said. “The most important thing for me right now is to learn the terminology. Things are similar, but the names are different. Having Eric Weddle back there has been good for me. He has already helped me out a lot.”
