I remember Marvins team motto a decade ago was KEEP SHOVELING....And that's exactly what he is doing now, shoveling shit to the fans one spoonful at a time.

The proof is in your actions, and in the product Marv

But seriously, if we get Del Rio in here and really look for the best O-line coach around and get a new LB coach i
could jump on board with this excitement. Honestly moving on from PA is what has been needed for years, too
bad once again it took so damn long to make this move.

More moves will get me excited. Marv can talk all he wants.

He pretty much talks about accountability, from players and coaches, and doing their jobs.

He sounds like a man that's on his last leg, is tired of the bullshit, and wants to start putting his foot up people's asses.

I'm fired up! Sounds like a new Marvin!

We need to stop the run on Defense and play aggressive man to man. No more of this getting ran all over and playing zone shit.

Its an upgrade from the gagging fallatio that he was giving all season.

Good seeing you around brother.

Here's the hard truth:

1. There has been no major change. No power shift. There is no proof that Marv suddenly has unprecedented control, and tbh, haven't people been saying "Marvin has control" for many years now? This is getting sad.

2. We aren't really making sweeping changes to the coaching staff. It looks like Paul Alexander FINALLY did enough bad things in consecutive seasons to get the pink slip. Guenther wants out. From everything I've read, we'll take him back with open arms if he doesn't land that lateral move. Many things seem off about that, but whatev.

Anything else? No?

3. Don't fall for the FA talk...AGAIN. Marvin said the same stuff a couple years back and we wound up bringing back Michael Johnson and signing a washed up AJ Hawk. This talk always seems to happen before season ticket renewal letters are sent out. Hmm...

------------------------

The Mike Brown Bengals rely on HOPE to sell tickets/merch. We need to stop hoping and take a "prove it" stance.

Sure looks to me and to others from what Lazor and Marv said, Lazor is the one who changed up the line blocking strategy
midseason. Lazor was having problems with PA who was crying about it. PA was not given the pink slip, he was just let go
to go his merry, cheeseburger consuming way.

With a new O-line coach that can coach run blocking and that fit Lazor's scheme we actually might be able to survive Marv's
terrible 2nd half strategy if we can run the clock out.

Completely correct on 3 Shake, not holding my breath on FA.
