I study human body language and I swear I am damn near perfect when it comes to lie detecting (This is not a joke or an exaggeration) and when Ross was asked if he was on the same page as the coaches (right around the 1:35 mark), he looks down, closes his eyes (takes his eyes off Dan Hoard) and stammers his words a bit. There are at least four "tells" that he doesn't believe what he is saying.
The Bengals are now gag-ruling the kid like Carl Pickens of years ago. I simply don't understand why. I won't hear any crap about not knowing the play book, either. This kid dropped offense (after a stellar start) and played CB for his college team and then went back to WR later and was stellar again. He is a smart kid and is a wasted talent.
The Chiefs are no better than the Bengals is Tyreek Hill in on their bench.
I've been through just about every interview and interrogation school there is, and was in LE for over 20yrs, and I didn't see any of that. What I saw was a kid that's embarrassed that he is out of shape and doesn't like talking about it. You have to believe one of two things here. To believe the coaches are holding him back for no reason, you have to believe Marvin has no interest in keeping his job here, and does not want to coach elsewhere and is giving a big FU to the fans as a going away present--or, you believe that this kid came out of college unprepared to do what it take physically to play in the NFL, whether that is because he is lazy or just did not realize what kind of shape you have to be in.
Personally, when he flat out tells you one play winds him to the point he has to sit out 3 or 4 plays afterwards..... that's all I need to know.
