For Doug Marsh, the change from
1979 Michigan Wolverine to 1980 St.
Louis Cardinal has beenmore than one
of removing a Maize-and-Blue colored
uniform and putting on ared-and-white
It's been a whole new ball game for
the tight end.
"The two biggest differences between
college ball and the pros has been lear-
ning to handle the pressures of being a
rookie,, and adjusting to the different
type of defense," Marsh said.
ANOTHER DIFFERENCE between
playing football at Michigan and com-
peting in the NFL, to Marsh, is the in-
tensity of the respective training cam-
ps.
"The Cardinals' training camp was
ost definitely harder than
Michigan's," he said. "We went six
weeks and had two practices a day in
comparison to only two weeks in
college. Even though it was harder, it
was good because it really got me ready
for the upcoming season.'
The isolation for a first-year man
faces doesn't make the camp any
easier.
("IT'S A SLOW process befoe they
e veterans) accept you," Marsh
recalled. "They make it very hard on
the rookies. You have to show them that
you can fulfill the team's needs. Once
you've shown them that you can play,
they tend to accept you. It just takes a
while."
For Marsh, though, it did not take
very long to prove himself. He has been
the Cardinals' starting tight end from
the beginning of the 1980 campaign and
his statistics are already impressive. In
. Louis' first three skirmishes, Marsh
caught nine passes for 120 yards and two
touchdowns. He had never doubted that
he would be able to step right in and see
action in the NFL.
"I knew if I showed my ability to the
coaches to learn the Cardinals' system,
I would get to play," he explained.
MARSH WASN'T surprised about
being drafted as early as the second
round, either.
t"LI knew I would go early in the draft,
eause a lot of teams around the
league needed tight ends." And Marsh
had the numbers to draw attention
from the pro scouts. During his three
years in Michigan's run-oriented offen-
se, .Marsh chalked up 57 receptions for
947 yards. In an outstanding senior
season, Marsh had 33 receptions for
612 yards and six touchdowns. He was
named first-team All-Big Ten and
third-team "All-American and was
chosen to play in the Hula Bowl in
Hawaii last January.

While there isn't that grea
ference between coaches, the
tainly is a discrepancy in thet
the players.
"I ENJOY PLAYING with (
