Training camp came and I got to go on the first day, and I went up to get his autograph first,but everybody was pushing each other and barging through to get his autograph. I was kind of close and he wasn't much taller then me and I'm 5'7 . He had to be 5'9 at most that's being generous.
I did not know he was that short lol that's the only thing that concerns me,and he might be best in the slot with his size like a Andrew Hawkins type of guy.
As for Marvin and Ross, Ross was trying to get healthy in preseason and I knew he wouldn't play game 1 . But when they got veteran lafell ,and Malone and core had all the reps ,I think Marvin was fine with what we had and just didn't trust Ross at all. And he's like that with alot of rookies unless you climb the depth chart.i don't blame Ross at all ,I think that's just Marvin Lewis for you.
While I agree with your sentiment about Marv, your statement about his height is not remotely accurate. I met him and looked him dead in the eye and I am a shade under 6'.
His combine numbers show 5'11" and they are incredibly meticulous in their measurements. Lots of guys "shrink" at the combine. Ross came it at 5'11"
