Also - I like that one of the questions was about trusting young players. Weird how Marv doesn't mention WJ3 in that list?

Man do I hope they put more effort in getting better FAs. That alone would help a LOT.

Made an awkward joke about cutting Nickerson twice and re-signing him twice. Said that the unproven guys really showed their true colors the last 2 weeks.

Boyd wasn't necessarily mentioned in the young players stepping up as a result of injury conversation. But only a question or two before did he mention the confidence of Boyd (and Mixon) the last few weeks of the season. I guess Boyd went to Marv's office and had a 1 on 1 saying that he was feeling confident and Marv said that he is developing into the player they expected him to be.

He should have been gone and yet Mike Brown just basically let Lewis have full control over this organization player wise.... Not trying to be negative here, not my nature, but something isn't adding up. Why wait 15 years for this?  Where does this put Tobin?

The Browns are reluctant to change. Thats it. They just trust Marvin.
