Brandon Marshall on Greg Hardy: ‘I don’t think that he gets it’
“He was saying, ‘It’s clear I’m on the ball, ‘ and I was saying, ‘I see that, but we’ve just got to communicate in those moments, ‘” Marshall said.

After practice yesterday, Marshall said that history gives him special insight into Hardy’s position. “This Sunday, I got into it with a teammate but we got in the locker room, we talked it out and we love each other”.
Hardy, who was a sixth round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft or the 175th overall selection, played for the Carolina Panthers in the previous five seasons but played in only a single game in 2014 after being placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List due to the domestic violence issue.

As Nolan points out in the video, it goes all the way to the top with owner Jerry Jones calling him a leader and head coach Jason Garrett seeing nothing wrong in his actions on the field.
On CBS Sports Radio, Former LB Bart Scott also had words on Hardy’s situation, but his were directed exclusively toward giving Hardy advice to protect against the day when the National Football League no longer has Hardy’s back.
