Cassius Marsh Takes Dig At New England Patriots

Last season, veteran defensive end Cassius Marsh was traded from the Seattle Seahawks to the New England Patriots, which he didn’t mind because he felt it provided him with an opportunity to win a Super Bowl. Perhaps Super Bowl 2019?

After nine weeks in New England, Marsh was released by the Patriots and signed with the San Francisco 49ers.

In a recent interview, Marsh said he felt miserable playing for Bill Belichick and the Patriots, and considered walking away from football.

“They don’t have fun there. There’s nothing fun about it. There’s nothing happy about it. I didn’t enjoy any of my time there, you know what I’m saying?” Marsh told the San Francisco Chronicle’s Eric Branch. “It made me for the first time in my life think about not playing football because I hated it that much.”

Some of Marsh’s problem with Belichick was the way he was being used. In Seattle he was primarily a pass rusher, but in New England, they moved him around a lot and sometimes had him in coverage. As many fans of NFL online betting will agree, the Patriots are always favored.

“They asked me to do a bunch of stuff that I had never done: covering running backs and receivers and basically almost never rushing the passer, which is what I did in playing defensive line,” Marsh said. “I confronted [Belichick] about all the things that were going on. Won’t get into detail, but it was B.S. things they were doing. I just wasn’t a fan. And so I, basically, without asking to get cut, I kind of asked to get cut.”

In six games with the 49ers, Cassisu March had two sacks. Wwas double his effort in nine games with the Patriots, and also forced two fumbles.

His effort was rewarded by the 49ers, who gave him a two-year, $7.7 million contract extension in February.

“Hopefully I’ll be a Niner forever,” Marsh said.
