SportsGuy41017 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 If Marvin suspended JJ for a year for this he'd lose his job. JJ was a first round draft choice. He suspended Henry for a game (and he shouldn't have) and he has publicly said O'Dell isn't coming back. He is loosing the respect of his players if he hasn't already, and soon the fans will Marvin, he needs to send a message loud and clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 At this point theres probably more bengals who have been arrested than those who haven't. At least they can all tell stories about their time in the pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you figure? Suspension for a year????????????? That is absolutely absurd and the player's union wouldn't let it happen, and our first round draft pick would never play another game in Cincinnati. That's a joke.

SportsGuy41017 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 LOL, The Bengals are ALREADY a joke around the country over this garbage, everywhere but here! Fine, if the P.U. won't put up with it then dress him and not play him, I don't care what draft choice he is. I guess wins are more important to you? Well I don't think it is, nor do I think letting these high priced babies off with a slap on the wrist will help improve this team. Either sit him a year of get rid of him. Just watch, if Marvin lets him off easy, you will soon see other players follow, someone like Henry. Then you will see players like Carson wanting out of town, if the coach doesn't have the respect of the players, it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe the players don't respect Marvin, then you really haven't been listening to them. I know actions speak louder than works, but the Collective Bargaining Agreement won't allow the coaches to do anything, especially until it is decided in court. In America, shouldn't it be dealt with after the courts have had their say?? After that, the coaches should have more power. I do believe the coaches punish through fines and extra conditioning, but Marvin Lewis said it himself-the only thing that works is playing time. Fortunately for Joseph, he has plenty of time to get back in good graces. This off-season, there will still be less incidences than last year(that would be an interesting over-under).

cvillecat Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Marvin Lewis for manslaughter when he finally snaps and terminates one of his troublesome players. He pleads self-defense saying he was only trying to protect his career. :thumb: :laugh: And it would be justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately for Joseph, he has plenty of time to get back in good graces. This off-season, there will still be less incidences than last year(that would be an interesting over-under). #1 If you coach a sport, and a player does something wrong, on or off the field, and you tell the entire team not to do it anymore, in this case it's getting arrested, and at least one of them turns around and does it and brings yet more disgrace on your team, is that showing they respect what you told them? Or you? And what about the "good guys" like Carson? They deserve teammates that can stay clean. The team suffered this season in part to the off the field troubles, I am sure players like Carson are fuming over this. Respect? Is that why the NFL had to come in and talk to the team and players? and is that why the Bengals had the Cincy PD come in and give a speech on drugs and alcohol to the entire team? Is this a pro team or high school team? As you said in your next paragraph, actions speak louder than words. #2 That goes without saying # 3 If you are a parent and your kid gets arrested, do you wait to punish them until after the court date? Yeah I know the union won't allow much before hand, but if the facts are there right in front of you, which is sad, but Marvin should still be able to grill him about it. And in regard to your last paragraph, I would hope so, since one player had almost half of those arrests. Bottom line, some players are not listening, and the Bengals need to figure out real fast on how to get their attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were fun season's and the Bengals were really popular. Other players follow? Are you kidding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpapa Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Can we attach a poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladiesbballcoach Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Can we attach a poll? I thought about it but didn't want to include everyone on the 45 man roster. There are so many choices for which Bengal could be arrested that the poll may be as long as a thread on "why is Tubby not a good coach?":D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
