This is nothing but generic player speak used to suck up to the new coaches. If grown men need to be told to play hard then they need to be replaced.

Geez Fred. Marvin Lewis wasn't a God among coaches. He had (glaring) holes in his coaching game, obviously, given his dismal record in "important games". 

Had they said anything in the middle of the season, they would have been damned for that (see Mixon, Joe) 
Now, if you think what happens in the locker room/ practice field should stay there, even across coaching regimes, I can see that. Marvin was a good coach, perhaps not deserving of the level of venom directed at him by me and others at times (yes I'll own it), but his regime IS open to plenty of criticism nonetheless.
