Cassius Marsh

Did you see this story about this pass-rusher guy and what he's been doing in camp and the work he put into recovering from his injury last season? Man, I'm jacked. GO HAWKS!

He was my adopt a rookie from last year. He looked good in limited appearances before getting injured. Looking forward to seeing him make a major impact this year.

I thought he flashed more than once last year and I have a feeling he will be a big part of our defense going forward. Excited about what he brings.

What about Okung though? Is he looking good in camp?

Not against Cassious March.

We all know by now that Okung is usually a bit vulnerable to speed rushers and as a result takes false start penalties in anticipation to counter pass rush moves. My thinking is the team won't be willing to pay him premium money after his contract is up.

It's nice to hear that Cassius Marsh is showing up well in practices and resuming the solid play that preceded his foot injury. Like McGruff I like this player, he's got the nasty needed and the insanely high motor needed to convert raw ability into seasoned ability. The D will be bringing some heat this season.

Now Frank Clark is starting to look like a first round pick and Irving is in a contract year and came back with 48 pounds of extra muscle and motivation. GO HAWKS!

I heard it was only 47 pounds and motivation wasn't included.

Okung is plenty strong enough but It looks almost as if it hurts him to move laterally. It probably doesn't help him much that Russell Wilson is on the move so much.

I think Marsh is in sweet spot in terms of his playing weight around 255-260. Seahawks wanted to beef him up to 270-275 from 250-255 and be Bennett lite but he didnt have the strength to control the point of attack and was rag dolled quite a few times.

With Clark onboard, Marsh can be strictly an edge defender where is elite quickness is displayed more properly and can play to his strengths.

If Marsh does not flash this year, it would be a serious indictment of some of the reporting being done during training camp.

It's one thing to look good in TC....and another to look good against another team's players in Pre-season games. The key to Mr. Marsh making the 52 man roster is how quickly can he learn his position and play sharp consistently against various players.

If he gained 48 pounds, I'm guessing he's a new OT being prepped to take over Okung's spot.

He is probably the new food taster in the dining hall.
