Any love for Marsh

I only seen him really during preseason, and he seemed like something more than ST gunning. I heard him speak on the radio, kind of a door, but came across as a good kid.

I only hear about Clark. Is there any chance this guy can play? Do you locals have any insight?

I don't think he's all that great. Hopefully he gets better but not impressed with his play to this point.

He was pretty active last game. I see him around the ball a lot. I don't have any good info on QB hurries, but he's almost getting home on the pass rush, some times moving the QB off his spot.

He has been very good in the run game from what I've seen. Good at setting the edge and does well in pursuit to the back side and on screen plays.

He should stick around for a while. By the time Avril hangs em up (or we don't resign him), Marsh should be a pretty good LEO.

Meh.

dead weight until he forces a funble, gets a sack that matters, or annihilates a qb.

He may get converted to LB next season.

I think he has been playing very well for still being somewhat of a rookie. IIRC he's only played about 12 games.

He's been in on a lot of pressures, tackles and around the ball. Once he really learns the position, I think he'll be a holy terror.

Should've picked Martvis Bryant instead of Marsh.

Hopefully that's not how he's remembered.

Fanspeak at its best. Marsh is a valuable part of the rotation. Not sure if he has the potential to become a starter, but we will see.

What ever fanspeak is...

Marsh is filling OBS role. Taking a spot in rotational depth and not showing any production. Thats a fact not fanspeak. We won the superbowl when our rotational guys were getting sacks. McDonald, clemons, irvin, avril, bennet mebane all were getting decent sacks.

This year we have 4/6 currently with clark coming up I hope he can fill a mcdonald role, as well as hill stepping up.

He's just alright for me.

Honestly I thought Marsh would be a bigger part of our defense at this point, and NEEDS to be because Irvin isn't going to be here next year. So we need Marsh to step it up and start contributing more than he is.

Dude's physical and has a motor, so no reason he can't be who we all thought he'd be when he was drafted......a stud hybrid rusher/end/coverage LB.

Any ideas on how many snaps he is getting per game?

He lacks explosiveness and power, but I still consider him a contributor. He has essentially filed the role of O'Brien Schofield.

I see Marsh as a prototype Tweener; not strong and physical enough to beat blocks at the LOS, not fast and explosive enough to play LB effectively.

He does have a motor and tends to be around the ball a lot. I hope he finds his niche and contributes effectively someday.

With limited playing 11 tackles, 3 qb hurries. Hes done alright. Still think he has a lot of potential, good hard worker. Could benefit with a couple sacks.

I think saying a guy is useless until he puts up some sexy stats is a bit harsh. He has contributed whether you notice or not. We all hope he becomes a stud, but not every player on the team is going to be.

This place gets dumber everyday

Mebane was credited with zero sacks in 2013, regular and postseason.
Stats aren't everything.
