Marsh describes Pats as "no fun"

Seriously, why all of a sudden does Cassius Marsh and his opinion matter?

I didn’t read the thread yet but the homers here must be absolutely foaming at the mouth

I know, right? It sounds a lot like high school football when it's ran by an actual strong leader at head coach, who demands actual discipline. I think at many high schools, the coaches are weak, so the stars get away with certain behavior, and then they get to college, and everyone on the team was a star back in high school who's used to lack of discipline. Then, amplify that effect once they get to the NFL, and coaches can get fired if they anger the players.

My favorite football movie is The Junction Boys, which is about Paul Bear Bryant in Junction, TX. Really captures that disciplined approach that I feel is at the very heart of football.

Enjoy what little of that is left, because it's on its way out permanently.

Why not read the thread and end the suspense?

If you haven't read it, why are you speculating on it?

That's the baffling thing. It's not like the Patriots had someone with an established history of getting to the QB, like Dwight Freeney, on the roster last year and kept dropping him into coverage. I wanted Marsh to succeed when he was here, but he didn't standout positively in any aspect of the defense, whether it was rushing the passer, stopping the run or in coverage. I don't recall seeing this myself or reading any posts like "Marsh is one of the few guys on the team who can get to the QB and what do we have him doing on key 3rd and longs? Covering the running back." Maybe pass rushing is what he does best, but his "best" isn't that impressive.

I'd guess because he wanted to find a way to diss "homers." Why a non-homer would want membership in this site is beyond me, unless maybe you're a masochistic Jete fan looking for abuse.

It's really quite simple:
Because I want to talk Patriots football.

I define "homer" as a fan of the team who wants to see the Patriots to win. Perhaps your definition is different.

Fun Fact: Marsh's favorite band...

Not getting into the whole homer vs chicken little debate because I find both extremes annoying, but it is ironic since some fought tooth and nail trying to defend his pathetic play while he was here. I get giving someone the benefit of the doubt, but he was pretty bad.

If what the movie portrayed was what actually happened there, then that is taking discipline Way too far in the opposite direction.

I’m trying to figure out which one bagged all of the chicks, but aside from the Cowardly Lion on the right holding the umbrella, I really can’t tell who’s a guy and who’s a girl.

From what I understand of that era, you get high and then just find a hole lol.

On a serious note. I'd be annoyed if he had fun during his time here considering he was part of a d that was almost historically bad early in the year.

Funny that is what I thought every time I had the unfortunate displeasure of watching him take the field...No Fun!

One of my least favorite Patriots ever. I could not stand that guy and his stupid Road Warrior wanna be make up job.
