rwalling Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I like it!No more BS excuses, no more baby sitting through suspensions, no more development projects, no more "we're more talented" even though we lost, no more sense of entitlementDo your job NOW, be accountable to your teammates NOW, put in the necessary work NOW, do the dirty work on the field NOW, and then you'll WIN NOW!Or you can go to another team where those things are not priorities, good luck.It reminds me of the Forest Gregg Super Bowl team and the things I respect most in the Steelers and Patriots. I can root for that kind of a team. I hope Marvin delivers on this message ... NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is their fifth of 12 this spring.They are on the field now for the one practice of this week open to the outside media.Notes:-- Running back Kenny Watson and safety Dexter Jackson are in street clothes, not participating, but they are on the field. Bigger news is tailback Chris Perry watching in street clothes, as well.-- The rookies have returned, including linebacker Keith Rivers and wide receivers Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell.-- One rookie not here is defensive tackle Jason Shirley, who has a court date today back in California, stemming from a DUI arrest last fall.-- Starting wide receivers Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh are not present.-- Second-year running back Kenny Irons is working on the side with a member of the strength and conditioning staff. He is attempting to come back from an ACL injury.-- First-year defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is making his presence known. "We got to outwork them," he said while watching defensive linemen run to a blocking sled and linebackers to a tackling dummy.-- Eric Henderson is working at defensive end, his college position. He is listed on the roster as a linebacker. He could be a swing player.-- Defensive line coach Jay Hayes is sporting the latest message T-shirt handed out by head coach Marvin Lewis.

If he EVER makes it through a single season without ending up on the IR, I'll eat my hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walzav29 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 You can tell Marvin's not playing this year. He is done putting up with nonsense. This is going to be a good year. He has taken back control of this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgilgris Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I for one am tired of his stupid slogans. His motivational speeches do not seem to be working. Marvin is one step away from Bruce Coslet with shirt slogans. As far as the NOW is concerned, shouldn't they always be thinking now? Great so apparently I have been paying for a seat license to watch the games when they werent trying to win NOW? I hope that the press holds Marvin to this quote so when he says something hollow in one of his press conferences, someone can ask him about all that NOW talk.
