mgilgris Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I was just wondering about this whole finger in the air after an interception. I would imagine Marvin was none to happy to see this after the pick. Dont get me wrong i loooove the picks but we need to focus on running it back or something besides celebrating the interception. There is plenty of time for that later. Has Marvin addressed this or am I just nuts here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBengalsFan Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 i agree, but both tory and deltha must have been so fired up ot be playing their ex-team, especially Deltha considering how things went down. did you see tory juke Rod Smith though?

San Antonio Bengal Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I think I heard something where Marvin said that the finger in the air thing "would be taken care of." Knowing Marvin, I'm sure that 1.) he noticed and 2.) that he will have something to say about it and 3.) won't say anything to the media about it.

EdwardG Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I thought it was kind of nifty and they should keep doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowtwitch Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 hate these friggin bush league antics. sure sign of a deion wannabe. darnay's shoulder shrug, kelly's squirrel dance, justin's pose. what if deltha fumbled while he was celebrating during the play. really lame... on the other hand, love rudy's class (very barry sandersesque). The guy looks and acts like a winner. very cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevnz Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Deltha deserved to gloat a little. The little man over in Denver tried ruining his career...Let's be honest here, he's been anything but a bust for the Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengal_Smoov Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Slowtwitch it sounds like you need to get the stick outta your ass. Considering the cb we have had for the past 10 or so yrs we should be thrilled at what we have now, who cares if they stick a finger in the air. Is that all you have to complain about?

CTBengalsFan Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 yea at least our CBs are getting INTs. Hell, Tory's tied for the lead in the league in INTs.Hawkins and Burris couldn't get an INT to save their life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDey42 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 When I saw both interceptions live, I thought it was pretty dumb to be throwin a #1 in the air. But after I watched it again, do you think that they they may have done that to let the defense know that they did have the ball in case they weren't watching the catch, to get their attention and let them know to keep blockin for him. Espcially on Tory's interception because that was such an improbable interception, that maybe he was just making sure the defense knew to keep blocking for him. I don't know, I could be wrong. I'm just trying to figure out why they would both do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckBroncofan Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Deltha was reminding coach Shanahan that he was a 1st rnd draft pick! that's what the finger was about! congrats on the big win! you played a good game and deserved to win! Good luck the rest of the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Stripes Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 wtf when we lose everyone finds something to bitch about and now when we win somebody finds something to bitch about. as long as their winning ang gettin int's i dont care what they do.

What the hell was i thinking??? nothing wrong with celebrating while eleven guys are trying to rip your head off your shoulders. i sure would have hated to hear the bitching & moaning on this board if it would have resulted in a fumble or worse, lost the game. by the way, what's up with this stick & ass fixation of yours??? are you trolling from the stains board? smack should stay on the smack board.

jditty47 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 i thought they did it to show the teammates taht they have the ball. THe media is blowing it out of proportion and so are some idiots on here. Even if it was a finger in the air, they got a pick, everyone gloats after they do something good. Btw, a ton of DB's raise their hand after a INT to show they have the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I'm pretty sure I read a Marvin quote saying he was going to correct it (meaning that he did not approve). I can see how the hand in the air is done to show they have the ball, but the #1 thing is not necessary. I can understand it if you're in the super bowl and you're running it into the endzone for the game-winning touchdown. At 1-4, though, when the game is anything but decided, it seems a bit over the top to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe media is blowing it out of proportion and so are some idiots on here. Even if it was a finger in the air, they got a pick, everyone gloats after they do something good.I completely agree. I think they did it to show everyone that they have the ball and to help block for him. But if they did do it to celebrate (which again, I don't think is the case), who cares?! They got an int on national TV in front of a pumped up crowd... they had so much adrenaline goin, that after they make a huge play like that, all they want to do is let it all out and celebrate. It's more understandable then someone doing their job and making one tackle then standing up and celebrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, at least James juked out Rod Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcat Bengal Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I thought it was kind of nifty and they should keep doing it. Yeah, I mean if the WR's can celebrate, why can't the CB's?It doesn't seem to slow them down, so go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevnz Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 They got an int on national TV in front of a pumped up crowd... When will you folks realize that it's an international tv audience? I was watching the game down here in NZ and I wouldn't have been the only one not to mention the people in Europe, Australia and Latin America. ESPN actually caries the game everywhere except the US....Those picks were worldwide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookie Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I was under the impression on the 1st INT that it was Deltha making a point to the Broncos, after James did it I thought maybe they did it as a signal to the rest of the D. Then, I come on here and read that ML said he would address it so I don't know what it was about.I also know that I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!They made plays instead of getting burned, and it kept the Bengals in control. Let the coach deal with it if he feels it was a problem, as a fan we should just enjoy seeing our secondary show up and play well.The only thing I would have commented on was that Tory had tried for a 1 handed INT earlier in the game. The second attempt when he actually did make the play was spectacular, and maybe he couldn't have gotten both hands up....but on the 1st it seemed like he could have and was just trying for the highlight reel. I have the game on tape and will need further review, in the meantime Prime Time status denied. Play Beer :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I bet if we had lost, everyone here would be complaining about it and talking about how it made us look like morons...Anyway, I just watched the Lewis press conference again, and he did say that he would get that fixed.

wookie Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I bet if we had lost, everyone here would be complaining about it and talking about how it made us look like morons...Speaking for myself only, I would have a lot more to talk about if the Bengals lost the game than concerning myself with what the finger in the air meant after the INTs.I don't know, like maybe how they could lose after getting 3 turnovers, and getting a 100 yd recieving game and a 100 yd rushing game, and consistently pinning the Broncos deep in their own territory. That would probably be on my mind and the finger thing forgotten.Unless, of course, it had been a different finger...then I might be singing a different song.

CincyJay Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Just to chime in on the subject. First, I don't mind putting fingers in the air. But let me get this across, finish the play like a professional and then celebrate all you want on the sideline. Both were great interceptions on poorly thrown balls. That's the Jake I know. I like a little showboating once in a while, but finish the play and do it. That way, if something does happen and you possibly fumble it back to the offense, you don't look as big an idiot by celebrating beforehand. But no one can change how they behave!! I'll take the W anyway we can get it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
