#98 Lemar Marshall - When Antonio Pierce jetted for the NFC East rival NY Giants following a breakout 2004 season, many thought the Redskins would be unable to fill the void left behind. Marshall proved to be a very capable (and much cheaper) replacement for Pierce as he recorded a career and team high 98 tackles. He also led the team with 4 interceptions and notched 2 sacks rounding out a very solid all-around season.
Season highlight: In the season opener against Chicago Marshall quickly put to rest many of the doubts that fans may have had as he recorded 8 tackles and had a key interception that ended a Bears scoring threat.
Final Stats:
98 total tackles
