Also there is the rookie wall and I have seen it happen. If he works out well come late nov he will really could start tailing off.

Hey in the long run this might be the right move. Say they bite tthe bullet and don't perform well but get young guys set to run faster in the future. In 2013 a better picking postion continues the transition to the touth movement.

The biggest problem that the Bengals have had is Mike Brown. He brings in crap. He is to cheap to have a real scouting dept. That is how they drafted dubious guys because they did not perform their due diligence in the pre draft investigating. Had Mike Brown been here in 1996 he would have drafted Phillips. He would have gone with what the pundits said was the right call.

He needs a lot more work in the weight room before he is ready.

Really 2 winning seasons. So he has won the div 2 times and made the playoffs last yr with a 9-7 record last yr. So how do you get 2 winning seasons?

I don't know if Adams is ready this yr.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-ravens-add-five-20120515,0,4762283.story Georgia TE Bruce Figgins This guy is 272 lbs. Maybe he is the blocking back the Ravens are searching for.

Didn't he jump from DC to Cincy? Didn't Harbs take over the next season with some new players. Garrett did take over the same season right? So Marvin is responsible for all of Mike Browns poor decisions. He brought in a TO. He brought in many guys I know Marvin has said he didn't want. I said at the time that Marvin should not have taken the job there. He has done so much better than I ever expected. Cincy has been the place where coaches go to die. Marvin started there in 2003. 2003 8-8 2004 8-8 2005 11-5 2006 8-8 2007 7-9 2008 4-11 2009 10-6 2010 4-12 2011 9-7 So he is 6 out of 9 being at least 500. Marvin is rolling at .491. Looking at the time Mike Brown has been in charge before Marvin. 1991 3-13 1992 5-11 1993 3-13 1994 3-13 1995 7-9 1996 8-8 1997 7-9 1998 3-13 1999 4-12 2000 4-12 2001 6-10 2002 2-14 So he was able to fin 1 season of 500 ball in 12 yrs. So he is rolling at a .286 clip. I would say MArvin has made an appreciable difference in the Bengals.

Hey how much of the offense were they running with Andy and AJ only having a few weeks to get it? How many more tricks will Andy, AJ, Gresham, Shipley, and Sanu have up their sleeves this season?

Really. So when Wade Phillips went 1-7 with the Cowboys and Jason Garret went 5-3 with the same players it was all the players? Marvin has proven to be a great coach wherever he has been. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/1996.htm So in 1996 a team with Ray Lewis the Ravens ranked 28th in points and 30th in yds allowed. Hey in 1996 there were only 30 teams so they were the worst D in the league with Ray Lewis. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/1997.htm In 1997 they were 18th in its and 25th in yds. So they are getting better. But that is the yr Mac comes to town. So they are putting parts around Ray and the D gets better. Wow interesting concept.

People were so happy that Ozzy inked he and Koch what last yr? It was considered a great move.

Billick pissed all over that team and they quit.

With the contract they gave him I think it might be tough to walk away from him.

Rookies are not the guys if you want solid kicking. It usually takes a kicker at least 2 yrs to get solid.

I see him being hidden on the IR this season.

I have watched this D do quite well with Ray down for extended periods of time. But that was not the topic. So are you saying it wasn't Harbs and Joe who took the Ravens to the PO's in 2008?

Rex's D took a rookie coach and rookie QB to the playoffs.

I think your right.

Not just the mental part. Also the physical. Chris wouldn't workout at all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QwrQFhh08o At least O's fans don't act like this.

He is not going the route of Cmac.

I like Zinno. I disagree with him routinely but he amuses me. Younis has become a moronic tool. Coleman is a disgrace to bmore. I think they pay him with food.

Funny the Ravens were slow getting started but finished getting them all in first.

Is that a guarantee?
