Marvin Lewis Chat Transcript

Lewis, on Monday, had a chat on the cincy enquirer. Here's the link.

Seems 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.

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... :P

:lol: good stuff.

My favorite response was, "Casron is the playbook".

Here's my favorite line:

If we are 0-4 because of our quarterback play I will make a change.

:lol:

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.

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 B)

I'm sure Palmer feels better knowing that ..... I know I do. ;)

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.
