A look ahead: Anyone with ideas of how to slow Brandon Marshall down?

i've got an idea why not start drafting corners 6' and up since the wide recievers are only getting bigger every year or maybe draft some people who can rush the passer they have enough ammo every year to do it.

I think the tall issue is overrated a bit

Look at shorties like Brandon Flowers of the Chiefs who is starting out pretty good this year and has had a decent first few years,he is only 5'10"

Talent is more important than height if its only a matter of a few inches,I will take a talented 5'10" corner who is in the right place at the right time anytime over a 6'2" corner who looks lost out there.
 
BB usually keeps his CBs on their respective side. Do you think he makes an exception here? I think he should. McCourty is young, but it almost seems like BB was thinking of how to match up with guys like Marshall when drafting McCourty.

Marshall's fast for a guy his size, but he's not necessarily the fastest of receivers. I'd think that a jam at the line is almost a necessity, as our CBs should be able to catch up to him if they miss.
He wont change corners, he will deal with it with the coverages he calls.
We are mostly a zone team, which is why we dont flip flop corners.
In a zone concept you dont really account for a receiver by putting the best corner on his side, you do so by calling coverages that strengthen the area of the field he operates in.
In Marshalls case the danger is in yac. So the job of 'stopping him' is everyones, and as Jay said, the most critical part is tackling.
 
Henne, Fitzpatrick, Sanchez any several other subpar Qbs have shown they can do this, I wouldn't dare them to.
Damn, Fitzpatrick beat us. Do I have to give back the money I won on the game?
 
this question is easy...stick a microphone in his face during the game
