Brandon Marshall out until camp - but it's no big deal

PrintObviously the biggest development that came out of Davie on Wednesday was the news that Brandon Marshall would be out until training camp (at the earliest) after undergoing a "procedure." After practice, head coach Tony Sparano was asked if the Dolphins knew about this issue before trading for the star receiver. Sparano responded:
"I would say that … uh … well … no. Just came up. It’s something that’s no different than Nate Garner (recent injury) or anybody else right now. It’s just something that came up, we needed to get it cleaned up and we did. It’s good. We don’t play a game today. We play a game down the road."
"He’s been here for [four] weeks now, throwing and catching and doing all the things necessary. He was throwing and catching the day that the procedure was done, so [I'm] not even concerned about that."
The "procedure." That's all the Dolphins will call it. But we've learned now that it was actually minor surgery on Marshall's hip. The first reports indicated that Marshall underwent a clean-up procedure on the same hip that he had surgery on last offseason - which caused him to miss early days of training camp. But we've since learned from a source close to Marshall, courtesy of Jeff Darlington, that the surgery was actually on his other hip.
Here's what I don't understand. Why are there so many Dolphin fans doing their best "Chicken Little" impressions and claiming that the sky is indeed falling? Part of me blames the media for blowing this way out of proportion. But this really is not a big deal.
Do I wonder how the Dolphins training staff didn't catch this during the physical? No, not really. Maybe they did notice it but chose to make the deal anyways. After all, how many of you would be pissed if the Dolphins decided against acquiring Marshall because of something that seems rather minor? Think back to Miami's decision to pass on Drew Brees. Many fans are still angry about that. So let's not say the medical staff screwed up here. I know Sparano claims the team didn't know when they made the trade. But maybe just Sparano didn't know. Or maybe he's lying about that altogether.
Regardless, everyone needs to step back from the ledge. Marshall has undergone offseason surgery the past couple of years - and he's still put up insane numbers. Some are going to say how this hurts the Dolphins because it cuts into the time it will take for Marshall and Chad Henne to "gel" and get comfortable.
But Marshall had hip surgery last offseason, missed some days early on in camp, had to adjust to a new quarterback (Kyle Orton) and still put up outstanding numbers once the season came around. So let's not make a bigger deal out of this than it is.
In fact, NFL Network's Steve Wyche said on Wednesday night that the Dolphins are not really concerned at all about Marshall's hip. He added that the surgery really was "minor" and "no one in the organization is sweating this."
So we good now? Did everybody take a step back from the ledge? Good. Now let's move on.

lol the chicken little fans come out in full force
hilarious. The timing and chemistry will not be affected, because he’ll be there in camp. It doesn’t take very long to get used to a stud WR like Marshall, he knows how to get open, he knows how to run his routes, and he knows exactly where to sit down in the zones. All Henne has to do if find a friendly colored jersey and laser/rocket the ball in there.
Also, because Marshall is more of a possession type receiver, there’s less timing involved, than with speed WR’s like Ginn or DeSean Jackson (to use 2 random examples), where timing is everything because they do everything fast.

im not worried about Marshalls chemistry because no matter who his quarteback was
he produced and we dont play a game until september so if anything were good there, but when i found out about the news of the surgery i was skeptical but the fact that he was throwing and catching the day of his surgery tells me it was very minor.

There is a little bit of chemistry involved ...
But in the end he has instant chemistry with any QB that throws the ball to him. They know that all they have to do is throw it in his direction and he is going to do the rest. When the ball is in the air it is his ball. You don’t wind up with 100 catches unless the QB knows that he can count on you making the catch no matter what.

Thanks Matty
I just hope its true he wont be wearing #19 as he stated . That number looks UGLY on him. Bess get a dog and name him 15 in 官話/官话 or give Brandon your number. Perfectibility the second.
BRANDON MARSHALL! and TD's are synonyms.
EARTHWAKE!!! QB's you can't run or hide
CAMARILLO=Clutch Football player
HENNE=the 2nd coming??? Time will soon tell
unless Bess decides that he wants to give up the number right? I mean its his choice. I still think maybe Marshall gives Bess a HUGE donation to a charity in his name or something and Bess gives him 15
Henne is the QB of the Miami Dolphins.
Marshall, Hartline, Bess.. Now can we still go snag Bowe as well? Please? .

But 19 was "Key" :)

But a happy Marshall is a good Marshall. Marshall has established himself already. Bess is on his way up and his career will benefit from him. Bess wasn’t a TD machine without a number 1. I predict he will be now.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I believe Marshall likes the number because of Chris Henry. Bess likes the number because the dolphins didn’t want to give him a number in the 80’s and he feels disrespected about it. So it represents how he had to work for everything he’s earned. I get it. IMO the number has deeper meaning for Marshall.
Bess should take Marshall offer (I’m sure its a huge amount) and run with it. Then get a number in the 80’s which he wanted in the first place.
Keeping Marshall happy is the best thing we can do with him.

Marshall wanting 15 has nothing to do with Henry.
Marshall has been 15 since breaking into the league.
But what if he ROCK's the #19??
Talk about Fairytales. Love this Site Matty. Go MIAMI!!
Miami Dolphin fan since 1971. Ricky Williams for starting RB! 2010 a SEASON to Remember. Brandon Marshall will pick a number! Trust the TRIUMVERATE!!
i think its good if marshal chooses 19
It will no longer make that number a problem. And good to hear about the hip, I wasn’t at all worried about it in the beginning.

Where did you hear this
Brandon Marshall would be out until training camp (at the earliest)
Because I didn’t hear that, I heard Sparano say he wasn’t sure how much time he would miss, he didn’t rule out OTAs or mini’s.
Are you sure your not mixing it up with Turners prognostication? That is what Sparano said about Turner, not Marshall.
2 erroneous reports in as many days…………….. your slipping Matty, lol.

LOL Yeah I saw that later. Funny is thats the same sort of thing that Parcells would
say about injured players when he was here with the Cowboys. He would say things like it may not be his fault but if he does not find a way to get on the field it may cost him his roster spot. Those guys don’t play.

Not good at all
The Dolphins claim they did not know about his hip? Really, did they at least cover their arses with a “if he’s lying this is void” clause? This organization is convincing me that they don’t do a very good job evaluating free agents. We could have just made a franchise changing move in the wrong direction. If it turns out to be serious it means we thought we were buying a new car when in fact we never checked carfax and bought a lemon.
Dolphins, Panthers, Marlins, Heat, and Canadiens!!
Wow. If he was out there catching and throwing the same day as the procedure its not the
huge deal that your trying to make it. Look around the league and see how many top players have this sort of minor procedure done every off season.
Relax!

Paper bag
Ok I got the paper bag and trying to breathe slow. It’s just that surgery is never good and he kept this a secret. Of course I remain optimistic, just a little more skeptical.
Dolphins, Panthers, Marlins, Heat, and Canadiens!!
I dont know. Its possible that he was out running and had some minor irritation.
It sounds like one of those things that would have been just left alone if it was during the season but with so much time till then it was best to just go ahead and address it now.

Completely Agree, Matty
This dude has done nothing but work his butt off since he got here, and he has impressed his teammates. B-Marsh was cycling during practice, which causes hip motion, so it must have not been too horrible of an injury. I say he is fine and it was a minor surgery that obviously didn’t debilitate him in a large way since he was bicycling and walking fine.

It does but...............
Cycling is awesome exercise but much lower impact than running. I have a lot of cartilage damage in my right knee. If I run say a quarter of a mile I can feel it and it will more than likely be killing me in the morning. On the flip-side I can go ride 30 miles a day for a month straight and not have a single issue.

What not the same hip?
The surgery was on the opposite hip not the one he had surgery on. back to my paper bag. Just saying this guy won’t last his contract.

If he was out throwing and catching the same day as the procedure I would think its safe to
think that it was no more than a scope of the hip. This is very common and many players have had these procedures multiple times with no adverse affects on their careers. Going off a report from a reporter that is doing nothing more than making a guess. He has no more information than we do so to make such an assumption is no less than irresponsible IMO. This guy is not a DR. and has no place making guesses on a players likelihood of playing much longer especially with little to no facts on the actual procedure preformed. I realize that this is how the press works today with facts be damned but most of it has to be taken with a grain of salt,
