ArmyBengal Posted July 20, 2010 Report Posted July 20, 2010 WOW !!!Has Marvin EVER come out in such defense of one of his players before ??That HAS to motivate Benson to know he has someone who has his back !!!That and sticking up for the fact that it's because it's Cincinnati.Way to go coach !!!

Stripes Posted July 21, 2010 Report Posted July 21, 2010 Why did people want this man fired?I pray we manage to extend him. Quote
HoosierCat Posted July 21, 2010 Report Posted July 21, 2010 I'm sticking with my prediction of 0 games suspended. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 21, 2010 Report Posted July 21, 2010 Why did people want this man fired?I pray we manage to extend him.Playing the devils advocate here, what happens if Marvin Lewis completes 10 full years in Cincinnati as head coach, and doesn't win a playoff game? Is he still a keeper, or can the sun finally set on his job leading the Bengals? Just wondering... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 21, 2010 Report Posted July 21, 2010 Benson to meet with Goodell Thursday:Bengals running back Cedric Benson enjoys the support of coach Marvin Lewis in the wake of Benson's recent arrest for assault. Whether he has the support of Commissioner Roger Goodell remains to be seen.Per a league source, Benson will meet with Goodell on Thursday.The timing is curious, given that Benson's pending criminal case has not yet been resolved. Then again, it's possible that the league office regards Benson as a repeat offender under the Personal Conduct Policy, even though two prior arrests (drunk driving, drunk boating) resulted in no conviction or guilty plea.Then there's the fact that Benson didn't bother to tell the team or the league about the recent charges before officially being arrested. Though he claims that he emerged from the incident at an Austin, Texas club believing he was the victim, Benson learned a couple of weeks later in no uncertain terms that a club employee contends that Benson committed assault. Under the language of the Personal Conduct Policy, which require a prompt report after any incident that "may be" a violation, Benson did himself no favors by not calling the Bengals immediately after being contacted by a detective regarding the allegations./>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/07/20/cedric-benson-meeting-with-commissioner-on-thursday/ Quote

walzav29 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Posted July 22, 2010 You're expecting something to happen today?If they weren't suspending him, I thought we'd hear that today. Quote
Stripes Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 I doubt Goodell will make the decision quite that quickly. Quote
HairOnFire Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 I doubt Goodell will make the decision quite that quickly. Has Roger Goodell ever made a decision quickly? Quote
volcom69 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Only thing that was said was it went well Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 I doubt Goodell will make the decision quite that quickly. Has Roger Goodell ever made a decision quickly?Possibly when he was offered the job as commissioner? I'm grasping at straws here, but I think he'd pull the trigger right away on that one. Quote

jjakq27 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Notes-Ced-meeting-called-productive-Roster-moves-Double-talk-in-camp/9a3d554d-c4f9-473d-9e7d-12f297e6e4bcFrom the dotcom...David Cornwell, the lawyer for Bengals running back Cedric Benson, confirmed via text Thursday evening they met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in New York City about the assault charge in Austin, Texas. He’s not sure if Goodell will make a call before the season or wait to see if the case is resolved in court. “The Commissioner and Cedric had a frank and productive discussion regarding the benefits of playing in the NFL as well as the price to enjoy those benefits,” Cornwell wrote. “Cedric is his best advocate and I believe the Commissioner was pleased with their discussion.” Benson also has an advocate in his head coach. Marvin Lewis said earlier this week that Benson was “jumped” and “sucker-punched.” Quote
membengal Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 Per a tweet from Schefter:NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will not suspend Bengals running back Cedric Benson for his role in a June altercation in Texas. Good for Goodell for doing the right thing.../>http://twitter.com/Adam_Schefter Quote
derekshank Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 Good deal. I didn't expect a reasonable reaction from Goodell against what many viewed as a stereotypical Bengal Bad Boy. So good for him... making the right choice.Great for the Bengals... bad for the Patriots and Ravens! Quote
