I wonder if Marsh has some culture fit issues.   If so, I’m not sure why he can’t get with the program.   

He’s probably never been on a team where he wasn’t wr1. Don’t know if that’s an issue

He couldbe WR1 if he earns it.

I missed it.

 Did something happen today to question Marsh’s “fit” within Cigs culture?

He didn’t play the first 2 series and was still out there in the trashiest version of garbage time. No one in the media properly asked what the deal was so naturally it turns to speculation.

It honestly could be something as simple as wanting to see him and Becker both as the clear cut WR1. But also wanting to limit their snaps. 
 

We shouldn’t read too much into it. Cig plays these games to gather data

I don’t think there were any issues. We had 3 of our top 5 WRs in during garbage time. Chandler, Preston and Marsh. Marsh and Preston were splitting snaps early in the game

I stand corrected, but he didn’t play the first series. Which remains notable.

Threw two really good blocks on back to back run plays on 2nd drive, met CB in the EZ on CBs 3rd TD. Still played quite a bit. Idk

I was looking for him on most plays because of this speculation. He’s blocking intensely downfield and celebrating after every score made by his teammates. I don’t think there is any issue, just trying different matchups in these gimme games, but if there is any issue it’s not showing on the field. He’s all in every play he’s out there.

Rewatching an abbreviated version of yesterday’s game.

Shazz Preston and Nick Marsh really got after it as blockers. They both had a size advantage against Howard’s DBs and they pancaked a few of them in the run game.

[Lebowski]

2-0. On to WKU.

Some serious, but conflicting, messaging being sent to Marsh today. Curious what Cig has to say about it after the game.
