Brandon Marshall recognizes he has an uncertain immediate future. But it doesn’t sound like he plans on spending it on the sideline.
“At the end of the day, I’m going to be playing football, and, if I’m
going to be out there, I got to be in the best shape I can be in,” Marshall told Sean Jensen of Yahoo! Sports.
Marshall was working out with Larry Fitzgerald in Minnesota, and others like Greg Jennings and Jerry Rice have stopped by.
Marshall didn’t want to talk about the status of his trade request, but his comments didn’t sound like they were coming from someone planning a long holdout.
Asked if he plans to report to training camp on time, Marshall said, “Well, I’m under contract with the Broncos.”
Marshall said the biggest lesson he learned in Minnesota is how much slower he currently is than Fitzgerald. He aims to change that by training camp.
“All I can do is get up every day and beat my body up, and that’s the truth.”
Marshall’s conditioning level has been a talking point in Denver throughout his short career. That and his hip surgery isn’t going to help his trade value to a team like Baltimore that suddenly looks short at receiver.
The one-time Pro Bowler seems to understand his future is largely out his hands.
“You just got to do your best, to control what you can control.”
You lost when you fought a McDonalds bag.
Good luck trying to beat your…um…Body.
This guy is a low life wife beater.
Says a Raiders fan!
That’s a testament to Fitz that a premier reciever in the league sees he’s slower than the new “Freak” on the block. Last year at this time, Fitz couldn’t even run a route to save his life.
Keep it going Fitz. You have made the entire state of Arizona proud, and you’re an inspiration to us for your work ethic. At the least you make us forget that most of us rednecks voted for Palin.
That said, stop hanging out around diva receivers. Wouldn’t want you to get brain washed.
Will he beat up his body with a McDonald’s bag?
Hey Marsh, try working on your attitude before working on your speed.
666, that is the best comment of the offseason!
Fitz couldn’t run a route? I think not. He was always a great WR and faster than BM.
alright Spicoli, Chavez is calling you back into bed. For all the grownups who actually watch football, you agree Fitz was VERY good naturally, but last year he took the final step.
Hell, even Wiz and Haley told him he runs dog spit routes before the season. Fitz gave them credit for telling him so at the end of the last season for god’s sake!
Back into your commie’s loving hands you go, Spicoli.
Fanboys, jeeze.
You and your Fitz lifesize cutout need to get a room.
I bet young sing, “1. you’re like a dream come true. 2. just wanna be with you. 3. Fitz
Fanboys, jeeze.
You and your Fitz lifesize cutout need to get a room.
I bet you’re singing, “1. you’re like a dream come true. 2. just wanna be with you. 3. Fitz it’s plain to see that you’re the only one for me. and 4. repeat steps one through three. 5. make you wanna fall in love with me. If ever Spicoli feels my work is done, then I start back at one!”
not that there is anything wrong with that…
Keep going Eddie, you sound cooler every time!
I AM pretty cool, aren’t I? Game recognize game Chg91… Even if you’re barely 18.
I feel old, people born in 1991 can vote. Florio must feel freaking ancient.
