Remember when Marv said this:
...and this is the guy we signed. The big splash was bringing back a washed up average DE. So much for "new strategy". What a giant load of BS that turned out to be.
Quote:But that free-agency mission hasn't gotten the Bengals a playoff win. Something needed to be tweaked to help make that finally happen.
Thus, Lewis' now prophetic words and new strategy.
"It's a different feel than where we have been," Lewis told Bengals.com and the Enquirer at the Senior Bowl. "It's not status quo. There has not been a status-quo conversation or 'Oh, we'll be OK, we'll just get these guys back.' No, no, no, that's bull. We got to be better."
"[Mike Brown] is the one leading the charge," Lewis said in January, referring to the team president's directive for a tactical change. "He's pushing people to identify players that will make us a better football team in free agency."
Free agency alone might not win the Bengals a playoff game, but this revamped approach ought to help. The Bengals promised changes, and so far, they're delivering.
...and this is the guy we signed. The big splash was bringing back a washed up average DE. So much for "new strategy". What a giant load of BS that turned out to be.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
