Marshall wants to stay a Jet

-

CLEVELAND — Brandon Marshall made it clear that he has no interest in being moved before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday. The veteran wide receiver is one of the few tradeable assets for general manager Mike Maccagnan, who will field plenty of queries in the next 48 hours.

“I would be disappoint­ed if I was traded,” Marshall said after the Jets’ 31-28 win over the Browns on Sunday. “I love it here. I want to finish what we started here with Coach (Todd) Bowles. But I don’t think that will happen.”

Marshall, who had all of his production (4 catches for 68 yards) in the second half to help the Jets win their second in a row, praised just about every important member of the organizati­on a week after Ryan Fitzpatric­k took a decidedly different approach.

“I’m about to say the opposite of what Fitz said,” Marshall said with a smile. “I love ownership. I love management. I love the coaches. I love my teammates. To be honest with you, I like (the media) too, which is tough. I really do.”

The 32-year-old Marshall, who has been traded three times in his career, is one of the unquestion­ed leaders on Bowles’ team.

QUINCY’S ESSENTIAL

For the second week in a row, Quincy Enunwa made a major impact in a Jet victory. In the third quarter, Enunwa caught a 24-yard touchdown and hauled in a 57-yard pass that put the Jets in the red zone.

The touchdown pass was short of the end zone, but he danced past defenders for the score. “It was one of those plays where I wanted the end zone no matter what,” Enunwa said.

Enunwa finished with four receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown. He also made a key play that won’t show up on the stat sheet: On the second play from scrimmage in the third quarter, the wide receiver broke up what would have been a Fitzpatric­k intercepti­on.

“It was a big play,” Bowles said. “You saw Brandon (Marshall) do it, and now you see Quincy do it. If you can’t catch the ball, you better make sure they don’t try to catch it.”

REVIS’ LONELY ISLAND

Darrelle Revis played such soft coverage against Terrelle Pryor in the first half that the Browns wide receiver caught lots of underneath passes and totaled 101 receiving yards.

Revis often has the freedom to choose if he plays off or press coverage, and in the second half, he switched up his game plan.

“It’s just, being aware of what happened the first half. And then making the simple adjustment, of hey, maybe that didn’t work,” he said. — With Seth Walder
