I think he should have stayed at SAM from Day 1. Now, he just seems to be a MIKE backer from the 70s that the game has passed by. He is a liability on anything in open space and LBs simply can't be that in today's NFL.
I remember a lot of Bengal players politicking for Maualuga in the draft, even going so far as texting Marvin, and Marvin responded right before drafting him: "You got your wish".
Who did the Bengals want to draft in that spot? Super Bowl winning Center, Max Unger. The lesson? Don't listen to your players.
Damn, really? I don't remember hearing anything about that... Do you have a source?
