Another trade: Cassius Marsh, DE for a Fifth and a Seventh

[NG Pats Fan]

Not to be a downer here but don't expect much help from him when it comes to the pass rush. Marsh had a lot of trouble setting the edge in Seattle. Marsh has zero bull rush ability and gets too easily washed out. With that said, he is a high motor/effort type player and good(not great) on special teams.

Outside of flowers, I believe this is the least athletic group of defensive ends the patriots have had in many years.

First ballot on the "guy you expected to be a different race based on his name" hall of fame.

Wait, he's white?

I was just listening to an interview with him which is on YouTube and I'm pretty sure that he states he is mixed, but people can't tell.

In a large part of the country, if you are 1/16 black, you are black.
Also, in a large part of the country, you are whatever you say that you are.

So why are we spending time with figuring out what race the guy is??

What the hell is MtG?

Is it like Dungeons and Dragons?

Magic the Gathering.

Is a game, grandpa.

Well we gotta see what the rookie will bring. I would like to see more blitzing if we have a talented backfield on defense. I was hoping they would trade for a veteran DE

Do you play that in safe spaces?

 

[SuperStang83]

Who cares

Apparently not you.

Shawn Crable 2.0

Nah; that would be Derek Rivers.

This guy sucks. Really bad trade, way too light to play de. Complete waste. Plus he's an oddball.

And where in the US, let alone "a large part", is one considered black if one is 1/16 th black? Considered by whom? Is there an official registry of some kind? Or are you just seen that way because the people there are so backward? How do you know this? Do other people research the racial backgrounds of friends and acquaintances and such in this "large part" of the US?

Where? I think you're just virtue signalling. Calling other people racist so you can show everyone how enlightened you are. Pathetic.

I love this trade if he ends up providing something on D. He's athletic and he hits hard. I am really interested to see what they do with him.

 

[MrTibbs]

He could be Vrabel 2.0, did you realize he played some TE in college?

 

[PScottman]

And yet another defensive player whose name is a common noun.

If he is Vrabel/Ninkovich 2.0 or even just sets the edge well and gets some penetration on pass plays, he can call himself whatever he wants!

 

[Thelonious]

Who cares

Oh, I imagine ESPN does, and Alex Riemer, and any number of braindead professors.

What the hell is MtG?

Is it like Dungeons and Dragons?

It's a collectible trading card card that debuted in 1993, inspired by the fantasy settings of (like D&D). Game has grown from small beginnings to having 20+ million players worldwide now, ranging from serious Pro Tour (professional) players to casual players playing on kitchen tables on a Friday night.

There was a brief article on it yesterday on Boston.com: One of the newest Patriots is also a serious ‘Magic: The Gathering’ player
