anybody else find this hilarious... wonder what Marvin Lewis is thinking now:doh:

Cedric deserves another shot. I hope he succeeds.

Super Bowl!

Smart pickup for them to get Benson but they should have never cut Rudi Johnson to begin with.

[DWinzit]

Marvin's last stance. He needs all the help he can get, good luck.

Where did Rudi end up?

[RedskinsSuperBowl21]

Im surprised the Steelers didnt go after him..the Bengals probably got him for Vet minimum.

Starting in Detroit.

[DWinzit]

Thanks, never caught that. Good pickup for Detroit and you're correct, he should have never been let go from Cincy.

I can't believe Shaun Alexander still doesn't have a job, and this scrub is getting signed. Wow.

[Redskins:Victory_or_Death]

Wow. Apparently nobody likes Shaun Alexander...

EDIT: Dammit jrockster...beat me to it.

So what's the over/under on Marvin Lewis being fired during or after the season?

Don't know, but he'll have a DC job pretty much the second the offseason starts if he does get fired.

[Redskins:Victory_or_Death]

Don't know, but he'll have a DC job pretty much the second the offseason starts if he does get fired.Why? Cincinatti's defense has been terrible the last 3-4 seasons. I'd have to say that much of what made him look so great in Baltimore was the players...he left and Baltimore has still had a very dominant defense throughout the years.

*shrugs* I don't know...

Thoughts?

He made us into a top 3 defense the year he was here, and our personnel was nowhere close to the Ravens. Cincy is pretty horrible on defense - they just don't have the playmakers. But a team with a solid young D like AZ maybe would hire him in a second, and he'd turn them into instant contenders. :2cents:

As a Head Coach, Lewis is a pretty good Defensive Coordinator.

[Redskins:Victory_or_Death]

As a Head Coach, Lewis is a pretty good Defensive Coordinator.Some of the blame lies with Lewis - he is the HC afterall. The buck is supposed to stop with him.

[Oldskool]

I think that may be his point. Lewis obviously knows how to call a defense when he has the right personnel but he's horrible as a HC.

He's like a mirror image of Norval.

[BigRay]

They just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper .

[Redskins:Victory_or_Death]

He's like a mirror image of Norval.So if we were to recombine Marvin and Norval's DNA, we would end up with Vince Lombardi?

Ewww...
