Brandon Marshall's awkward interview

[jackacid]

Have you knocked off the rust? How are you feeling physically?

"I'm feeling good. I'm doing everything I can to prepare for this defense. They're really physical. They're smart. They fly all around the field," Marshall said.

Did you have a lot of making up to do with your teammates after your insubordination and suspension?

"Well, I mean, this week, you know, in preparing for Cleveland ..." Marshall stammered, "it's going to be tough, we know that. And we're going to do our best to give it our best shot."

How close are you to being the Pro Bowl receiver who had back-to-back 100-catch seasons?

"Uh, I think coach Mangini is doing a great job with the guys, just getting them to do what they're supposed to do, do their job, and it's making it tough on opposing offenses."

Did you not hear the question? How do you feel you're doing?

ha ha, kind of funny actually. I'd do the same if I were in his position. Media is going to take things and spin them how they want anyways.

It sounds like he was strictly coached to just talk about next week's game, the Browns, etc. On a leash, but can't find any way to hide his contempt.

it also sounds like he's realized he wont be traded, and doesn't want to burn bridges with the team.
