Marcus Rush

No point in anointing him for beating other 3rd stringers. If chip plays him with the 1st next week and he balls out then we keep him. Otherwise it's back to the PS and him possibly being claimed

So what could you even trade him for? He's a UDFA with no regular season flim lol. Doubt he goes on the PS with lynch out. Lemonhead didn't get a tackle yesterday

I've been hoping he could be our Skuta 2.0. He and Garrison Smith are pushing to get on this roster.

I was thinking the same thing. He played a lot like Skuta too.

He was good at rushing the qb last preseason too. Dude should definitely be on the active roster and coming in on passing downs.

Seems to have great pursuit and tackling skills as well as good positioning, but so far a liability in coverage

LIABILITY IN COVERAGE...

do not mean to offend you, but RUSH will never make any teams in the NFL due to his coverage skills.. he's been showing the team what his strength is, and that's RUSHING THE QB..

Lets not put him in passing situation to drop back and cover those slippery RBs, lets put him in there with the best pass rushing UNIT and allow them to get to the QB.. he's not the athlete that MATTHEWS is, but this kid is as relentless as KEVIN GREENE was ..

The LEMON MAN already had his chances, it's time to replace the guy..

NOW, is he gettin #56 yet??

If you can effectively rush the passer and be a terror in the backfield there will be a spot for you somewhere on an NFL roster.

Hes gotta make the team. He's just too disruotuve as a pass rusher. Dude was living in the backfield. If youre gonna have one trick then rushing the passer is the trick to have. If its a decision b/t him and Lemonade its an extremely easy decision.

Can RUSH be a full time starter, prolly not.. but what we need to envision is when a battle on the field is similar to that NFCCG vs the Eli and the Giants several years back, MARCUS RUSH would be the perfect scenario to start subbing for the guys like LYNCH (often out of shape) and BROOKS (gettin old) and just ask him to rush the passer as his non-stop motor would be perfect for those tiring OL.

Yeah, his only real issue last year was that he was too small. It sounds like he's up to 251 now...I wouldn't mind a few more pounds but if he's just a situational pass rusher, he should be fine at that weight.

Agreed. Nice compliment just like Ronald Blair. Hit 'em with beef, beef, then BAM, speed and quickness.

Weren't you saying the same thing about tank? He's a liability in coverage? Both this two can get to the QB and that's far more important than coverage skills

I agree Lemonhead is out.

Sorry but I haven't seen CLUELESS TANK make some plays all the years he's been here..

and as I have been saying, TANK is NOT an OLB.. he's a DE (4-3) by nature and that's why he's having trouble being that player under the 3-4 scheme, and it's also the reason why he was asked to lose some weight, so that he can LOOK LIKE an OLB..

I have been trying to trade Clueless, and I still wish that there are some takers our there because he's had his chances too.. as long as he plays under the 3-4, he'll never be a good player in the league..

That kid has a motor, wouldn't mind seeing ore of what he can do.

Have em be a starter next game, she how he does in 2 series depending if the 1st series is a 3 and out. If he sucks the D, bye bye

exactly he NEEDS TO START next game. He had a hell of a game but it was against future car salesmen and gym trainers
I want to see him go against STARTERS

IM ALL FOR THAT..

actually, NOT just RUSH, personally I would like to see G-Smith; Rush; Blair and the rest of the WRs (Group B) that we have in here .. let them play against Green Bay all First Half and see what they have...
