But my seats were in the front row right on the defensive line end of bench. During the Marvin regime I never saw anybody get yelled at by the coaches even a quarter as much as Carlos. In fact it does not happen that often except with him.

They would be coming at him constantly while throwing a handful of photos in his face and screaming with spit flying out of their mouth so much that I tabbed him with the nickname Dumblap. Of course I was berated for saying so and expect to be again.

Although they played different positions Tank Johnson really mentored him mentally on bench back then and helped calm him down and get him through after the sideline tongue lashings.

Plus think he did have elite talent and that got him through well enough to be very serviceable and at times great even. Yet he never really matured between the ears imo.

To be fair neither have I, so not going to hate on him. Just spilling some eyewitness accounts of what happened on the bench.

I remember seeing Hue Jackson cussing out Chris Henry when I was sitting in the 8th or 9th row. I clearly heard I don't give a f*** come outta Hue's mouth. Not that that happened between them a lot, but it certainly did that day.
