Quote:so who is the 3rd CB McCray or Gratz?  I read somewhere that is actually Gratz that had moved up over McCray?

  Will we see Nick Marshall in this game as a CB?
 

 

I wouldn't put too much weight into what you read about Gratz unless you know the source to be reliable. My guess is that someone was speculating based on McCray playing in the last preseason game, and not exactly playing all that well when he did. Don't read into any of that. He was thrown in after the other CBs played out their reps and were gassed, plus he hadn't had many reps this preseason going into the game. It seemed to me like he figured he wouldn't play in the game and was caught off guard a bit when he found himself thrown in there so late in the game. Lesson learned...always be prepared.


 

As for Marshall we shall see. I've given him a hard time this preseason as I was not impressed, but the same was true about the two CBs he beat out for a roster spot in Rashad Reynolds and Jeremy Harris. Harris was probably the best in sticking with WRs, but he was mistake prone. Reynolds was just beat too consistently. In Marshall's case, he seemed to consistently be out of position to make the play on the ball or tackle, and I'm now thinking it's a hips issue where he's not able to stop on a dime like NFL WRs. I thought perhaps he wasn't capable of getting his hands up to make a play, but Gus said recently that his hand skills are his greatest asset. I'm hoping it's just a matter of needing more experience to not let route running get the best of him, but if he lacks fluid hips that could be a far greater issue that can't be taught. He certainly has game speed, but that sort of goes to waste if he's over-running plays, etc.
