For me it has been Sean Taylor (because I use him) But Marcus Washington gets the most by someone I am not using.

Irony, no. Coincidence, yes.

Anyway, 4 INTs is always a good season, but wouldn't Rogers have had like 6 if he just caught the ball?

INTs aren't a good measure of pass coverage, as vital to success as they are.

I thought it was like 9 he would have had.

Exactly. Lemar caught the balls thrown to him. His interceptions that year came off studs like Kyle Orton, Mike McMahon, Kerry Collins, and Eli Manning.

Hard to say that any warm body in the same position wouldn't have had 4 ints, and from a sentimental standpoint, I'm glad an undrafted player enjoyed that kind of success here.

But I would rather that undrafted player be Pierce

j/k

Good luck Lemar Marshall.

Remember kids, the NFL is in the entertainment business. Always business, never personal. Next time a player holds out don't think ill of him, he is after all taking care of his business.

I wish Marshall all the best and I'm sure he'll find a taker.

Yeah, I totally disagree that Marshall sucked in pass coverage last year. He was definitely solid; I don't care what the stats say on that.

The only conclusion I can come to is it was one of a few salary cap moves or it was his shoulder. Could Joe Salavea be next guys?

think he'll sign with the eagles or giants anybody?

Eagles a not likely since they said they'll start Gaither to switch in the MLB postion.Giants have Peirce already so its pointless.Maybe Raiders could need a LB and Bills to on the ROLB position. theres alot out there

I bet the Giants bring him for a look. Yep, to fill the same spot left by LaVar.

Why would we release Lemar Marshall, when we could have released Sartz, Trucks, Jones, Sinclair, or even K.Campbell instead. Lemar is familiar with the system, and he can play every LB position. I really thought Lemar was going to be a valuable backup for us this year, but I guess they see more in Randall Godfrey. It makes you wonder how good Godfrey really is if NO other team picked him up in FA. This is truly shocking news, I really hate to see Lemar go.

I would have dumped Trucks personally, but I guess maybe they see something in Trucks that make them want to keep him around.

I do realize that when we realized our LBs were a big problem last year, everyone jumped on Holdman, but Lemar was every worse last season, albeit with a lot more responsibility.

Any word on contract details...? Still more to this story than meets the eye.......
