He finished the season with twenty-seven starts, and was a close second to Clint Dempsey in the voting for the MLS Rookie of the Year Award.[4] He only played in twelve matches in 2007 due to ongoing concussion issues that threatened to end his career.[5]

Marshall's strongest campaign with the Crew came in 2008. He led the defense on the squad that won both the Supporters' Shield and the MLS Cup 2008, a game in which Marshall scored the game-winning goal.[6] After the season he was voted to the MLS Best XI[7] and was also awarded the MLS Defender of the Year award, beating competition from Bakary Soumare and Jimmy Conrad.[3]
