FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Brandon Marshall is warning game officials now: Watch out for Byron Maxwells hands.The New York Jets wide receiver had some strong words about Maxwell, the Miami Dolphins cornerback who took on Marshall last season while he was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.He just held every single play, Marshall said Wednesday. Every single play, he held. That was tough. They traded for him to stop me, so Im excited about this matchup.Maxwell played his first four seasons in Seattle and signed with Philadelphia last offseason.In the Jets 24-17 loss to the Eagles in Week 3 last season, Marshall had 10 catches for 109 yards and a touchdown -- despite, he says, Maxwell being a bit too touchy-feely throughout the game.I dont know him, but I dont like him, Marshall said. Im being honest with you. Ive never had a conversation with this guy. I think hes probably a really nice guy. He seems like a really nice guy. He doesnt say much when hes on the field. But because he holds every single play, I dont like him.Last March, the Eagles traded Maxwell, linebacker Kiko Alonso and a first-round draft pick to Miami for the Dolphins first-round draft pick.Great trade for the Eagles, a smiling Marshall said.The Jets receiver added that someone told him that the Dolphins acquired Maxwell specifically to defend against Marshall in the teams two matchups during the season. Whether thats, in fact, true is uncertain.But Marshall also noted that the Dolphins havent been playing a lot of 1-on-1, man coverage in the secondary, so the two might not square off every play. But if they do, Marshall knows what to expect, judging from the film he has watched.Still the same guy, still the same player, Marshall said. Holds every single play.When asked if he might go to the officials before the game to make sure they know to look out for Maxwell, Marshall laughed and said he was already doing that.Im talking to the officials now, he said with a big smile. What do you think Im doing? Hes gonna hold me. Duh. This isnt about Maxwell, its to the officials: Maxwells going to hold every single play.Theyll read the papers. This is New York. You guys do a great job of getting it out there.Despite being frustrated in their previous matchup, Marshall insisted he wont let that get into his head on Sunday in Miami.Im just going to bring it to him this game, he said. So, Ill hold him and Ill push him around if thats the kind of game its going to be.For Marshall, the game also marks a return to the city where he spends most of his offseasons -- and where he played for two mostly productive but tense years.It actually does mean a lot, Marshall said. I learned a lot there, especially on the football side. Thats the first time I realized that touchdowns matter. The media there killed me, and it was tough. No, seriously. It was always, `Oh, theyre paying him all of this money and he only has three touchdowns. That was the first time I paid attention to touchdowns.In two seasons with the Dolphins from 2010-11, Marshall had 167 catches for 2,228 yards and nine TDs.Marshall recalled that he learned to block out the media, or at least try, because of the stress it caused him.The good thing about that was that it made me realize that you need to produce in the red zone, he said. Before, when I got down there, I wasnt a complete receiver. I didnt know how to get deep and understand how important the red zone was and I started paying a lot more attention to it.Marshall was then jokingly asked if he actually owes the media for helping him become the receiver he is today.Well, I think a lot of it was unfair, when we talk about me as a player there, he said. I was one of the first receivers in a long time (there) to have over 1,000 yards. I didnt have 100 catches, but I had 80-something catches. Given the circumstances, I felt I played really well, but they killed me.They begged for me to come down there, and I got down there and then they said I was the worst thing ever. That usually happens in a losing environment.Marshall added that hes really disappointed how his time in Miami ended, which came via a trade to Chicago in March 2012.So, Im excited to go down there and put up 200 (yards), Marshall said before laughing. Nah, I cant put up 200 yards because they dont give up big plays. If it was 1-on-1 coverage, then that would be different, so its not going to be that type of game for me.I will say that Im excited to play against Maxwell.
