“You’re going to know who is going to let up and [who will] go play 100 percent,” Mixon said, via the Cincinnati Enquirer. “You’re going to know who’s shutting it down. At the end of the day, it’s how bad do you want it? Either go out and give it 100 or stay home. Don’t show up.”


He's not calling out teammates for not working or playing hard in past games, he's saying they still need to show up and work hard..and if they don't, people will notice.

Maybe this team needs a little "positive reinforcement"...for the love of God we all know the Marvin hand clapping on the sidelines isnt working.

It's not a negative statement, I just see it as misguided, naive, and generic.  And positive reinforcement in this case would be getting some W's for the hard work...something that doesn't really happen when you are working your arse off for coaches that torpedo the gameplan and an owner who has no interest in keeping up with the proverbial Jones's of the NFL.

Mixon should know what it is like to run as hard as you can and come up short because their chintzy owner gave you a crap o-line...and that's just one example.  I predict we will see enough effort to save Marvin Lewis for another year, though.  So there is that.
