Marvin Lewis speaks out about the refs

His approach is each player is responsible for doing the right thing because they are a professional and getting paid to do so. And in his mind, professionals don't need true training (coaching) to do their jobs better, just put forth more effort and execute because that is the expectation of a professional. No "pep talk" will or should make a difference in how a professional performs because he/she should always be performing at his/her highest level at all times and should not need motivation.

Actually, I kinda agree with this mindset, provided you have the right personnel and the right coaching, which the Bengals do not. For a long time Marvin had guys like Whitworth to do that "pep talk" stuff for him. All you need to do is compare the rah-rah tunnel stuff this year to past years.
