Lucas got beat up my SS in practice...he is still technically the third corner whenever Lucas returns from injury.

Yes and yes. He saw something there. I don't believe that was an accident.A pretty sweet TD at that.Is Marshall a better CB than Lucas, and will Marshall ever actually be the starter?
YesYes, but Im afraid that once again it'll take an injury to Gamble or Lucas for him start THIS YEAR. Next year is another story - Gamble is a free agent. Marshall is worth taking as a top 20, if not top 10 DB, but you have to be careful starting him when he's not a starter, and itll cost you an extra roster spot to carry him until that opportunity comes. Once it does, he's a top 5 DB in my book. He presents one of the most interesting risk/reward packages in IDP fantasy football, and one of the hardest to rank and gauge for drafting.A pretty sweet TD at that.Is Marshall a better CB than Lucas, and will Marshall ever actually be the starter?

From Marshall
"Watching film (of the Eagles), every time we're in field-goal or field-goal block, the end man on the line always blocks down on me; he never lets me come free," Marshall said. "So once he let me come free it put up some flags, (as if to say) 'Something is not right.'
"Then I saw the man coming towards me -- and I never have a man coming towards me when they're in field-goal. So once he started coming towards me, I knew it was a fake, but I didn't know he (Sav Rocca) was going to pitch it; I thought it was going to be a run fake, so I was actually going down the line to try to make a tackle (on Brent Celek) until (Rocca) pitched the ball; then I had to go get it.
"When I saw him about to flip it, I was thinking, 'Was he really about to throw it?' Once he threw it, I just went and got it and set up the blocks. (Charles) Godfrey had a block and several of the other guys on the team had blocks, and some of the other guys on the team had blocks, and they led me into the end zone."
Marshall wasn't touched -- not coming off the line of scrimmage, not as he cradled the football, not as he rocketed upfield just feet from the Carolina sideline with the defining play of an eventful preseason that has seen him receive plenty of first-team work because of injuries to Ken Lucas and Chris Gamble. His work on the first team might end up having the most long-term impact on his career, but it was that return that he'll remember most.
