DAVIE, Fla. — Preparing for “Monday Night Football,” Brandon Marshall dropped a pass during drills Thursday, picked up the ball and gave it an angry boot.

Not that emotional outbursts take practice for the former Broncos star, but Marshall said he’s planning a prime-time doozy. The mercurial Miami Dolphins receiver complained he has been playing with his emotions in check and will show more passion Monday against the New York Jets.

“My goal is to get thrown out midway through the second quarter,” Marshall said.

When asked if he was joking, Marshall said no.

“I’m serious. They want to fine me, it’ll probably be like a $50,000 fine,” he said. “But I’m going to play. That quarter and half I’m out there, I’m going to play like a monster.”

In July, Marshall disclosed he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. On Thursday, he said efforts to keep his emotions on an even keel have hurt his play.

The two-time Pro Bowl receiver, who had 86 catches for 1,014 yards last season, has 22 catches this year but only one TD, and he’s tied for third in the NFL with five drops, including three in the end zone.

“I’m best when I play with passion,” he said, “and you guys are going to see that on ‘Monday Night Football.’ . . . Something is going to happen.”
