Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall joined the show to talk about the Broncos' hot start.

-- Dan asked Marshall if he thought the Broncos were a bit too conservative against the Ravens. Marshall avoided the question and said that his job is to catch balls.

"I will say that we have a lot of explosive players on our side of the ball waiting to contribute," Marshall said.

Marshall said receivers get a bad rap in general. "Wide receivers come off as divas. But we're really the only position that can ask for the ball .... so that's what we do," Marshall said.

Dan asked Marshall the best way to let his coaching staff know he wants the ball more. Marshall said you could always leave memos with your stats all over the team building.

Marshall had very nice things to say about Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu. The Broncos face the Steelers this week. Marshall says Polamalu never says a word. Marshall said that he doesn't like when average defensive backs talk trash.

Dan asked Marshall about the old-school uniforms. Marshall said that they aren't going to wear them again this year.

-- Marshall is guest hosting a show called Sports Soup tonight.
