I don't think Marvin is getting enough praise for making a smart move mid-way into the season. While most teams give very little Reps to their backup QBs during the week of practice especially in the middle of the season, Marvin started giving AJ more reps in practice after seeing the rash of injuries to QBs... I know AJ commented on how this helped him be a bit more ready when he has to go in as a starter...
Amazing to think that in the mist of Dalton's best season ever, that he actually increased the reps for AJ the backup...
Good job Marvin, lets hope that smart coaching decision helps out Monday night and rest of season.

Why did AJM say he didn't get first team reps on 700WLW after the Pitt game? Said he never gets to but Marvin says the contrary??

Nah, leave it to Marvin to take away his excitement for Marvin. That's who stole mine.

Marvin always gives young qb's a small package each week to work on. He did it with CP his first year. This is how they learn
AJM probably didn't see it as "first team reps" because it wasn't the same load Andy was given.
