Marshall on Denver days: "Josh and I got along great"

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 15, 2010 4:41 PM ET



Nothing with Brandon Marshall seems to come easy.

The Dolphins don't hold introductory press conferences for players, so Marshall held court with reporters at a local hotel Thursday.  He threw a press conference for himself.

Marshall handled himself well, and couldn't contain his enthusiasm.  The most predictable answer was questions about his off-field problems: "The past is the past," Marshall said.

Marshall surprisingly said he could have co-existed with Josh McDaniels in Denver and played another year there, pointing to how rocky last year started.

"Josh and I got along great," Marshall said.  Some other notes from the afternoon:

On his jersey number: "15, that's [Bess'] number.  It's his locker room. The only number I'm worried about is number of wins." Marshall said he'll take whatever number's available.

On Revis Island: "I"m not sure where that is. Revis is a friend of mine. Where is Revis Island? Hopefully I visit there soon."

On what Bill Parcells told him: "Basically, let's win some games. The message here is team first."

On his reputation: "This may shock you guys, but I'm no prima donna."  (He does block.)

On his maturity: "In the past, there's a lot I didn't focus on. This offseason, I will. I plan for this year to be my best year so far."

Broncos fans are going to love that last comment.














answers my question as to why there was never a Dansby press conference.......he seemed to say all the right things.....personally i loved the comment about Bess's jersey number....let's hope he can stay focused and Henne and Marshall can be a nice combo for the next 5 years.....your move boys

I really like what I'm hearing from this guy so far.  I have to admit, I didn't realize it (even though I'm pretty sure I've heard Marshall talk at least a handful of times before), but he's actually pretty well-spoken, at least for an NFL wide receiver.  Looking back on it now, it's funny how things have turned out since that last Miami-Denver game in '08 when B-Marsh' and Joey Porter were getting into it through postgame press conferences.  Oh, how things have changed.....

I can't think of being this fired up about an offseason acquisition since getting Ricky before the '02 season (and I really had to think about that one).  That's saying something considering how much of an Auburn ("War Damn Eagle!") fan and just general Carlos Dansby fan in general that I am, but this Brandon Marshall signing has really got me fired up.   

Don't let me down, B-Marsh (or the thousands of other Dolphins fans out there).  Go 'Phins!!!
