    I Am Now A Fan Of Marvin Lewis

    With the Browns (7-6) potentially going away from incumbent starter Brian Hoyer, WLW-AM in Cincinnati asked Lewis how his first-place Bengals (8-4-1) would handle the possibility of facing Johnny Football.
    "You gotta go defend the offense. You don't defend the player," Lewis said before adding, "Particularly a midget."

    Not a fan of his at all and think that comment is stupid. I can kinda understand a player saying that but not a coach. Makes him just sound like a dbag coach
    My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.

      I think Manziel will be a cancer in the locker room. As much as we suck at QB the more I see this guy the more I don't like him and glad we did not pick him.

      Don't think Lewis should of said that but I feel like Manziel can bring out the worst in people since he is such a *****.

        I look at Manziel as Flutie with no heart.

        But having said that, Lewis' comments were uncalled for.

        They are all part of this very special fraternity, he needs to remember that.

          So, all we should get from a Head Coach is PC coachspeak?

          I miss the days when you could actually tell that coaches had personalities.

          All you get now is cliches out of the NFL Playbook. "Well Vic, we made too many mistakes and we have to address that and get better".

          You could almost interview a tape recorder every week with almost every team.

              says the guy whose title has him listed as PC BSing Homo? I sure hope you didnt choose that title..

              everyone needs to lighten up a little, jeesh. Lewis was saying this in jest. You people are all probably the ones who go to a comedy show and get offended.

                pretty sure Manziel and Brees are the same height.

                  The title was about me jacking with him and calling him that.

                  I believe he took the title because it was funny.

                    It takes all kinds. I really don't care what Marv would do, although he probably would have compared him to Audie Murphy. Marv had a slightly dry, intellectual sense of humor.

                    Other coaches are more vociferous.

                    My coaching style and comment would be "I don't care who plays QB, be it Hoyer or the midget, we are going to kick their ass regardless".

                      one comment doesn't erase the years of terrible calls by marvin lewis.

                      that said, i wouldn't make that comment unless my team was on fire. if my team was kind of middling, this kind of statement against a division rival just has a way of backfiring.

                        Marvin Lewis is a terrible gameday coach who has won nothing.
                        It's amazing he is still head coach.

                        Manziel should be calling him out.

                          I think it's hilarious as long as it's not a bills coach or FO saying that about a player.

                            How about this gem during Halftime of last weeks game against Denver.

                              That's the thing. Manuel being a dick aside, you don't lower yourself to his level, especially if you're a coach. Especially if you're a talentless coach. (see what I did there?).
