May 5, 2008 Cornerback Richard Marshall stepped in and started at cornerback late in 2007 after Chris Gamble was forced to play with a cast on his injured right wrist. Now healthy, Gamble is back with the first team at cornerback along with Ken Lucas, while Marshall returns to being the No. 3 corner. However, that could change, according to the Charlotte Observer. “I think Richard is a fine player,” Fox said. “In our base defense only two of them get to start. We’ll see how that develops. We have great competition there and those guys will settle that.”
Our View:For all of the IDP heads in the audience, Marshall should definitely be on your radar. He possesses excellent ball skills and has proven himself to be a playmaker when given the chance to start. Despite starting only six games last year, Marshall posted 5+ solo tackes in eight different games. During the last three games of the 2007 season he compiled 24 solo tackles and an interception.
