One of my favorite Bengal along with KWash and Carl Pickens.
incredible TD to catch ratio and could he ever track down the long ball.
big time Steeler killer which this team lacks.
so gifted...he could have been a number 1 for several teams.
miss you #15.

Can’t believe it’s been 10 years! He died about 2 miles away from where I was working at the time. He was getting his life turned around and then was taken too soon. RIP Slim.
I saw two of his sons playing pop-warner football last year. Spitting images of him.

I just liked watching him run out there, not looking like he's moving very fast, but in reality he was breezing past the entire secondary because his strides were so long.

It's funny I was just thinking about this the other day. I remember when Chris Henry was fairly new, and Marvin was in his first or second year, I can't remember, Chris had just made a tremendous catch and he got in the defensive backs face, and drew a flag. When he got back to the sidelines, 'ol Marv grabbed him by the face mask and ripped him a new one. I remember thinking, "Now this is a good coach, and exactly what the Bengals need, discipline!". Boy have times changed.

Chris passed on December 17, 2009. We still have a whole year and the way they are flying these days..
But yes, RIP Slim as always.

You know, I was thinking it was a Pukesburg game, but didn't remember the DB's name.

It's hard to think of him without remembering the opening pass play of the '05 playoff game. It was directed toward the north end of the stadium, so I saw Chris hall it and and the place went wild. Then, he was a little slow to get up and I thought "Oh, crap, that's just we need." Then my buddy elbowed me and, pointing to the south end of the stadium, and asked "Who's that down over there?"
Rest in peace #15.
