I think Marcus is going to put all that mess behind him and turn into an all pro before long.

Agreed. Too bad it didn't happen in October (no one would probably remember). IMO the Eagles were very lucky they got MN instead of the Saints in the NFC title game.

Marcus is solid player & will become a fine pro. Bright future ahead of him

I don't doubt it. He's a pro. I'm just still on the fence if it was scripted.

What do you mean? Because he did look really stupid when it happened. Looked like he was trying to duck under the guy.

I mean I was convinced that the whole NFL is fake after that happened. Then I calmed down and realized it couldn't be, due to too many moving parts. But I am still not sure that one and some others aren't fixed. It just looked so incredibly unreal. It still makes my heart sink when I see it.

I have never watched the play again after seeing it live. The same thing with the damned run in the Seattle game. I turn off the TV or leave the room if either ever shows up.

Why are we still discussing it....meh. He did outstanding for a rookie. Learned a valuable lesson; never assume a play is 99% dead. Make sure it's 100 or fail trying.

That's good because if he does something like that again not only will he be cut by the Saints I would believe his NFL career would be over. Could you imagine signing a guy who lost your playoff hopes in one game and something similar in another one. No you can't!

It looked to me like he was doing his best not to draw a penalty flag. He needs to learn to wrap up in the tackle. Tackling really is a lost art form in football. If you want to watch good tackling watch a rugby game!
