biggbrd Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 After trading 5th and 7th round picks for him earlier this year, Pats cut Cassius Marsh today. 14 tackles, 1 sack, a blocked field goal and roughly zero edges set. Pats signed DE Eric Lee from Bills PS following the cut. https://www.patspulpit.com/2017/11/21/16687872/breaking-patriots-cut-cassius-marsh-sign-eric-lee-off-the-bills-practice-squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChazStandard Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Why? I mean, he's not been good, but he's better than nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iothar Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I think if he consistently was a liability in failing to set the edge he wasn't worth keeping. I think he stuck around as long as he did because he was trying and he was just too light to really stand up to what BB wants. I feel like in a perfect world Marsh could have played the nink role but it just wasn't working out. Set the edge and funnel the run up the middle. If we get beat up the middle so be it but these weird plays like against the chargers where Chung had to shoot to set the edge but with 1 less player in the middle it didn't matter ( I think it was chung ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His role on ST diminished to almost nothing. My guess is that he was falling out of favor there and thats why he is on the streets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhunt2402 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Belichick basically prints those late round picks so that he can take a chance on these trades, some do some don't. Had hoped Marsh would stick but if you can't set the edge in this defense you're not gonna last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemushrooms Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Man, I liked Marsh. Yeah, he couldn't set the edge but, and he always played hard as hell and he was a great personality to have on the team. He's a cool dude, hope he catches on somewhere else. I didn't think he'd wash out of the ST team though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
