I also know someone in the org who absolutely rolls their eyes at the mention of Carlos. A lot of behind close doors BS from that guy. Which is sad, because he was awesome his first few years in Cincy... but Marvin put up with stuff the current staff doesn't... and so it goes.

Lapham & Hoard discussed an interview before this last season. Carlos was asked by them how he's lasted so long in this league and stayed healthy. His answer: "I make business decisions off the field with my body and I make business decisions on the field".... Meaning: He's looking out for himself on physical plays. He's not out there sticking his nose in the pile. Lapham, post trade, absolutely KILLED him for it. He roasted him.

They said EVERYONE knew what he meant by that and that the coaches heard it and were furious that that was how he looked at it.

This was in the The Bengals Booth Podcast Episode: Kiss And Say Goodbye, but has since been edited out.

In another podcast, if I recall correctly, they discussed how Carlos just wanted sacks and would leave his lane/gap all the time just trying to run around the OT. This caused major issues in the run defense, but he didn'tcare because he was making business decisions on the field for himself and trying to not get hurt by playing the run or getting in a pile. Carlos got benched because he refused to play within the defense and do his job and the coaches said enough was enough.... Dunlap then flipped out, posted depth chart stuff on IG, tried to fight his coach, etc etc. Carlos was interested in Carlos and that was that.

I can't pretend what exactly went on. But him saying a business decision I don't take as necessarily a bad thing. If you go standing around a pile your bound to get rolled up on and he could've been referring to things just like that. I remember the fight on the sideline last play of the game and baker threw a winning TD to seal the game against us. Dunlap had his man beat and would've had a sack or most likely altered the play only to be held and not called. Afterward there was a shot of them on the sideline. I wonder who instigated that. I like Lapham but he's getting one side of the story I highly doubt this coaching staff just won't put up with the stuff Marvin would. If they're that accountable how about showing Micheal Jordan the door. If you tackle your guy into our #1 pick QB you can find another job. Maybe car salesman.
