Cassius Marsh

Lynch Mob · Jul 24, 2014

Cassius Marsh is my rookie to watch this yr. Marsh was a former 300lb DT so he knows the game in the trenches and how to succeed in the trenches. He later slimmed down for the outside DE/5-tech so he can set the edge against OT and has short area quickness. Marsh was 255 when he was drafted but has been working on adding muscle in the offseason and is up close to 270. Cassius Marsh also has been working with trainer Jay Glazer in training MMA for a few years which means he has advanced his hand fighting and use of leverage more than most rookies. Marsh seems to have that dog in him that u need to thrive in Seattle's locker room and especially its defense.

I'll be watching him too. I was excited when we drafted him.

Sounds good. With our off-season losses, the DL is a bit of a concern, and we need the young guys to step up and contribute. I'm not worried, just curious to see who goes big and who has to go home.

Really excited to see him and Mayowa tear it up.

This you tube shows him catching passes as well. Around the 1:30 mark he is either lined up at full back or TE and makes two nice grabs.

I think the nickel D line will look like this. LDE-Scruggs,LDT-Bennett,RDT-Marsh,RDE-Avril. I think these players bring a unique blend of speed,power,and ability to split gaps/run stunts. Big things happening this year.

Marsh played all over the line but last year he slimmed down and played mostly outside at DE. He's a DE/LEO at least that's what they have told us.He's listed as a DE at 268 according to UCLA website for last season.

I think it's gonna be like a feeding frenzy this Year.
Lots of talent, lots of speed.

General Manager · Jul 24, 2014

That line was lethal especially at the end of the season and in the playoffs and of course the SB. I think they will be even better this year Avril and Bennett are in there second season . We added Marsh and Jeffcoat, Mayowa looked promising last year. We are loaded.

A buddy of mine who works for the Seahawks as mentioned to me a couple of times now that Marsh has him more excited then any other rookie. He thinks that Marsh has "a little crazy" in him. I think he and P-Rich are one's to watch out of this class for sure

No way Scruggs is in at end over Irvin if he's healthy.

Oh that makes me happy...VERY happy.

@johnpboyle: Granted they haven't even put pads on yet, but right now Cassius Marsh is looking like a steal of a 4th-round pick. #Seahawks

@johnpboyle: ... and Marsh getting some first-team reps today both in base and nickel.

I was really lit up when we drafted Marsh, I think his tenacity will fit right in with this Seahawks Defense.
Sure wish we could find a Fullback that size, and with that kind of rhino mean.

Brian Nemhauser @ HawkBlogger thought Marsh looked "promising." On the flip side, he said rookie RT Justin Britt struggled, which was to be expected for a first-year OT:

Not a good day for Justin Britt
Britt was running with the first string for the second straight day as Michael Bowie took it easy due to an injury. It was not pretty. Britt got beat with speed and beat with power. He appears to have trouble staying balanced in pass protection. He ended a number of plays on the ground as he would over or under stride, resulting in either him tripping or needing to lunge as a last gasp effort to block his man. Marsh, Michael Bennett, and Cliff Avril took turns giving the rookie a hard time. Avril, especially, had his way. This was disappointing because the hope was that Britt would be a better pass protector than Bowie. Early indications do not make that look likely. Let's see if the rookie can bounce back.

He sounded more excited about rookie OT Garry Gilliam:

Gilliam did well in pass rush drills, even against a guy like Avril. One play stood out. It is typical in these drills for the tackles to kick-step sideways or backwards to give some ground as the pass rusher tries to get around them. Gilliam stepped forward, into Avril and appeared to surprise him by jolting Avril backwards.
