Kirkendall Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Lewis, on Monday, had a chat on the cincy enquirer. Here's the link.http://bengals.enquirer.com/2004/07/26/lewistranscript.htmlSeems to me that Lewis dodges a lot of questions, but I guess that's the role of the head coach to be conservative without calling anyone out.But it does seem he believes that most of the rooks will be signed by Friday.

HoosierCat Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Ya gotta love Marvin. If he ever tires of the NFL, his ability to say nothing at all while talking could make him a zen master...Grasshopper: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?Master Marvin: It is unfortunate that trees fall.Grasshopper: What is the sound of one hand clapping?Master Marvin: You play defense with 22 hands.&tc...

Barbarian Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Here's my favorite line:Marvin Lewis (Jul 26, 2004 12:26:53 PM)If we are 0-4 because of our quarterback play I will make a change. Actually, that quote doesn't make me feel too comfortable. Drew Brees was jerked after a couple of games--and it terribly hurt his development. Same with Carson if he's jerked after a couple of games. It could hurt his confidence forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Carson if he's jerked after a couple of games. It could hurt his confidence forever. To make yourself feel better about that quote, go back and look at what the coach had to say last year when Kitna was 0 and 4. It wasn't all his fault, so he didn't get the hook.IF big IF Palmer starts 0 and 4 this year, then you can expect more of the same logic with the same result. He won't get pulled. It's like Chad says .... Palmers got the easy part. All he has to do is stand back there and get the ball to CJ and co., and they'll do the rest I'm sure Palmer feels better knowing that ..... I know I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I don't think we'll go 0-4. I think we're good enough to run 4-0 in the first four games. We'll beat the Jets and definitely Miami (they have a lot of crap going on right now), Baltimore will be tough, but we can beat them, and then PIttsburgh who hasn't improved much. If anything, we'll be 3-1 heading into the bye week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
