I would put him on the bench because he isn't as talented as Washington or Rocky. It is as simple as that. To compare Rocky and Lemar phisically is definitely a stretch. Even though the Redskins may have tapped Rocky a little early, he was a stud in college and was definitely a second rounder. Lemar is a "no-name" who did well with his opportunity in '05 and regressed severely in '06.

i feel that he should know the defense inside and out because he's been a starter in it for the past 3 seasons and the qb of it the last 2. i agree with you that his play slipped last year but i feel that the entire defense slipped and i believe marshall should only be given the same amount of criticism as taylor or anyone else that played last year. i've heard poeple say that the only reason taylor played bad is because he was trying to do too much, well that may be true but the same could be said about marshall.
how can you say he's not as talented as rocky ? sure rocky was good in college but the jury is still out as to how good he'll be in the nfl, were as marshall has proven to be a very good outside lb and a pretty good mlb. if your going say that marshall regressed, would you also say that taylor regessed ?
if rocky beats marshall out during training camp then thats fine but i believe it is marshall's job until that happens.
