Pick 6s, forced fumbles, running guys down from behind... Years of losing can sour a guy. He didn't handle it well, and the team didn't handle him well. I'm glad he was big enough to shout us out. He's forever a Bengal in my mind.
To be honest, I think Carlos kind of lost it when he got kicked out of that park in Florida during the off season. I'm not sure what transpired, but he thought it was racial, and maybe it was. But he came back to Cincy demanding Mike Brown put out statements, etc, and to me never really focused on football. There was a lot going on at that time across the country, and I think he took a lot of it personal and lost football focus. I don't say that as a knock on him, he just never seemed to be the same guy after that to me. Arguing with coaches, posting depth charts on instagram, etc. All that stuff was out of character for him.
