Marshall vs. Pierce

i saw marshall calling defensive audibles fairly well during the game

i think pierce sheds blocks (and therefor) plays the run better, and had a small edge in presnap positioning of players... marshall is a bit faster and slightly better in coverage (since he used to be a safety).

I personally would have rather had pierce with marshall as depth.

The Giants defensive scheme is to stop the run and prevent the big pass. That is why QB's are completing so many passes and moving down the field at will. Only Tomlinson was able to run the ball. I dont like the game plan, because what will happen when they play philly and someone has to prevent owens from scoring a 75 yard TD? We shall see

One interesting thing worth noting here; In today's WP there's an article about the two long drives we gave up. We were quoted as saying that people we're lined up out of position, late in/out of the huddle, in other words mental breakdowns.

This is the thing that Antonio Pierce was a master at - He could recognize formations and audible at the line of scrimage. Herein is the biggest difference between he and Marshall. Pierce was more of technician whereas Marshall is more of an athlete.

I think Seattle doesn't get those two long drives with Pierce in the middle, IMO.

Marshall has been playing very well thus far and he's even better on Madden 06.

Marshal has been playing decently, but to me he's nothing spectacular

I don't think we can lay it all at Marshall's feet for those 2 long drives.

Guys should know their responsibilities, I think it was a team effort on the breakdowns.
