Jeb Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Marvin blew up this team on purpose. We needed a new start with new people to get away from the old ways of this team and its locker room. They'll come around and jell as a unit but it will take time. So chill out and have faith!

How does that justify making ZERO adjustments throughout the game, running up the middle on 4th and 1, not taking advantage of a 2nd and 1 from the 15, not running any slants, 3 step drops, delays, draws, drag routes, and deep routes. I know you're trying to get people to chill out a little, but its making you look dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle1 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Why would Marvin quit.....he won't make more money somewhere else. And, who would hire him?? Either he is not that great of a coach or he cannot pick out talent in the draft. Anyone watching the Cowboys game?? Bill Parcells leaves almost every team he is involved with a lot of talent....and self motivated players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So chill out and have faith![/quote] The defense is young, the offense is in it's prime with key persons already in or hitting their 30's. The offense struggled last year running the ball. This resulted in a one dimsional easy to defend offense. The reason they struggled was an inability to run block. They went out and got no help in this area. On offense they did nothing but flop Perry for Rudi/Watson and Utech for a host of 3 wide out want-to-be's. Therefore the run game did not improve and neither will this team. Carson is under pressure and will not step up. Some throws he simply missed as he is appears afraid to step up. The defense was terrible against the run and they went and got no one to help. Just a few new lbers and no beef up front. This team may not win a game and why would anyone expect any different, tehy got no help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we lost a draft pick for Ahmad Brooks when Marvin just cut him. I don't know why Marvin did it, ...but he did, ...and we lost a draft pick.

-GoBengals- Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 one of two things will happen, and it has little to do with marv or brat or zim or mike, etc.. either a: The young guys mature and pruduce more each week.. b: we are cashed in for the year, cut our losses for the average vets now.. so the cap hit is now.. and we can make bigger changes for next year... its all but a rebuilding year from what i saw.

|SF2| Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 The cold hard reality is all of the 1st round defensive picks that didn't pan out are finally coming home to haunt us. We let Steinbach go and now Willie ( he looked done to me too) but the cold hard reality is we have pretty much taken our oline play for granted for a long time and now we have a marginal oline and what is in essense a green defensive team. The big money we spent on defense did not pan out for one reason or another and it forced us to keep selecting defensive players first in the draft. At some point the offense will suffer. That point seems to be now. I pray this was just a fluke. I pray that Baltimore has a top 5 defense when all is said and done and a little more time will fix this team but I am just getting tired of saying the same things year in and out.

Le Tigre Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 That is a good point...the Rats still possess a very good defense--and one of the best coordinators around. You hope that this is just an aberration. homer hat/off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its still early and this was only the first game. It was a gutsy move getting rid of our safety nets in our older vets. Maybe that's what this team needed. As a Bengals fan, ...I gotta believe he has a vision for this team! ...and I agree with you. The young guys have to step it up because they are in key positions. We need them bad!
