I think sometimes we (fans) lose sight of the fact of who, you and all the other Bengals staff, work for. Yes, the Bengals are your employers.
This is not a criticism of 'YOU or ANY staff member', but just pointing out some realism here.
Now I doubt whether any other staff member, besides yourself, has ever stepped foot in these forums and I wouldn't expect them to.
But, there is always a 'chance', that whatever a staff member says, in ANY venue, could get back to the employers.
Nobody in their right mind, that is satisfied with their job, is going to 'publicly' speak out against the same people who sign their paycheck.
No staff member is going to say,
"I don't know why Alexander can't see his center getting manhandled MORE than not. I would think, seeing how the offensive line, minus Smith, is the same as the past few years, that NFL coaches, worth their weight, should be able to turn things around."
"Brown and Lewis have a very tight relationship and Marvin will leave when Marvin retires. Yes, Marvin has done a great job at getting this franchise turned around, but sometimes players and referees need to hear some fire and emotion from the HC when those players and referees aren't doing their jobs. However that's all in the personality, and we can't expect someone to change their personality. Marvin isn't going to turn into a Mike Zimmer no matter how successful Zimmer is in Minnesota. So we can only focus on the positive things Marvin has done, and hope the players' talents can carry them."
It takes a big person to admit they were wrong, and I don't see the Bengal employers to be an exception, which only means that IF the above
'real, but negative' kind of responses were made, it would make job security very vulnerable.
So .... what we are left with is rooting for the hand that is dealt, hoping for the best, but, expecting franchise history to repeat itself.
At least .... 'SO FAR' ..... it's not the 90s anymore!!
Thanks again Jim for taking your time for stopping by the way you do.
