I feel the culture has changed, question is did it change enough ?


I believe the impact of PA bringing this team down was far greater than any of us even believed, and we believed A LOT !

I'll never forget that interview PA did with Dave Lapham like game 10 of 2017 about Ced. PA said words to the effect of "we don't care what you're doing, we're trying to win ballgames here". Speaking on Ogbuehi of course. BS ! It took a team full of professional coaches 10 games to figure out what we knew by game 2 or 3 ? Don't buy it, he was just saving face.

MB gave PA the asst. head coach title several years ago and it went right straight to his head. His ego was to giant to admit he missed on Ogbuehi, Bodine, and others. He wouldn't change his blocking to adapt to change. He was running amuck over everything Bengals offense because after all it was 'his plan/schemes" so they had to be good right ? 

I fully believe Lazor finally convinced Marvin to tell MB bout midway last season PA has to go, his schemes have to go, his blocking style has to go and he was all but fired there towards the end. MB is just to nice a guy to do it during the season.

Will his departure be enough change ??

I hope it will be enough.....as for interviews, the one that got me to really believing it was time for him to go was the infamous "witch hunt" schpiel on Russell Bodine.  Dude, he was the worst rated C in the league that year!  I get that you don't throw a guy under the bus, but wouldn't it be better to say something along the lines of "Russell is learning, and is working his tail off to get better.  I think you will see him continue to improve....etc."?  He came out looking like an arrogant fool.  Then comes out a couple years later acting like a hard ass with Og.....ppppfffffttttt!!!!
