lslmustang Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 A friend of mine called who is a friend of a friend kind of thing... and supposedly, Chris was in Marvin's office being told he was benched for the year.... not sure if via NFL or just him. Chris got so upset he had to be escorted out by security.... I hope it's not true, but thought I'd float this to see if anyone else has heard or read anything about this yet....

I don't believe Marvin has the authority to bench a player for the entire year. Plus, Marvin just recently said something to the effect that the legal system has yet to play out before any final decisions are made on suspensions and such...I know I read that somewhere (probably here!). Well, I hope you are wrong!

Didn't this stem from the TO debacle last year? So if this is true, and certainly we don't know but it has been hinted elsewhere (Lance's blog, for example), this must be a league ruling? -jd
Guest mongoloido Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Perhaps the suspension is from the league. I don't know how much sense that makes, but it makes a little more sense than the team actually sitting him for the season. Still, I have a hard time believing the league would only suspend Haynesworth for 5 games, but give Henry 12.
bengalsdave985 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 more than likely if he did do anything he has told him he would be inactive the rest of the way. he can do that under the cba as conduct detrimental to the team. similar to keyshawn and t.o. last year. he cant out right cut him due to his productivity, he would file a grivence saying it was unwarrented. on the 2 angry guys this morning they talked about how he was told to get a p.o officer and still hadnt and calls had been made to the bengals about why he hadnt yet. marvins tone in his press conference was also similar to the way he talked about odell so i wouldnt be surprised at all.
Palmer4HOF Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Personally, I would be pissed if this happened. Not only would he be done for the year, but we basically sat him last week for no fucking reason at all. If he was going to be done for awhile, might as well got all we could out of him while we could...
BengalBeotch Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 If it's true............. [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/20.gif[/img] F*ck.
texbengal Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Wow. If true, some of the other recent stuff starts to make sense.... - ML being rather talkative/revealing with his comments about whether he noticed a difference in the game Sunday with Henry out; - McNeal being called up; - Gaffney in for a tryout.... Ah, it's probably just coincidence. Hope it's not true, but I guess we'll find out. Yikes - that would really hurt the offense. Hope he doesn't go drown his sorrows with Odell!

Perhaps he hasn't been calling in like a good little thug.
JBandJoeyV Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 I have heard that Henry and Odelll are both addicts and alcoholics and are in it deep, maybe marvin realizes this and figures he cant change their ways anymore... Hope this isnt true though

Well, I hope you are wrong! [/quote] Benching a player is different than suspending a player. A benched player has to be payed and a suspended player does not. Any team can bench a player for any reason they want regardless. There is absolutely nothing in a players contract that says he gets to play.

BigDawgBengal Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Dont know why Marvin would tell him he would not play the rest of the year cause Chris would just fuck around knowing he is not going to play and not work at practice or anything. I think Marvin would want him to work hard each day and not fuck around.
texbengal Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 One other thing to fuel the speculation... What ML said in his press conference yesterday... that there were going to be some "tough decisions" down the line to see who dressed each week, and that he wants guys that he knows he'll be able to count on, and not make (my words) bonehead plays at the wrong time. He specifically talked about getting Chatman on the field Sunday, and his returning punts, etc. Washington plays STs now, too. Tab Perry might be out for a while longer, or maybe for the season (depending on who you believe). All of that said, nobody on the WR bench can impact a game like Henry can. Granted, Ratliff won't break a punt return, but he'll catch the ball. Give me a 5-yard PR average vs. a 10-yard average that Chatman can give me, as long as I can exploit the mismatches that Henry gives you.

JBandJoeyV Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 maybe we would actually throw the ball downfield once in a while...

staticx682000 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Im one of those guys who dont care what players do off the field..But henry did miss this sunday he did hurt the team,no matter how small or big...If he goes marvin we trust....
