I just went outside my responsibility ... Coach (Marvin) Lewis talks about playing smart; that wasn't very smart.
I have to play my responsibility. I went outside of that and it hurts you all the time ... I just went outside my responsibility. That's the one thing Coach (Marvin) Lewis says is play smart and that play wasn't very smart.
It's tough to see what they're going through ... I sent a text message to Marvin (Lewis) when they won. He sent me back a nice message. I would never say I am glad it's happening to them. It probably would have happened regardless, whether I was there.
Chad is very disappointed that he's not playing, but he respects coach [Marvin] Lewis and the team's decision ... He's not going to make this a controversy or a circus. We're going to keep it in-house between ourselves and the team. He's got five more games to go. This is unfortunate that he's not playing. Chad lives to play.
I don't think you talk about things that are really deep inside. Maybe you tell your wife, but that's it ... Marvin isn't a whiner. He knows he was hired to do a job and that all you can do is look in the mirror and go from there. He's old school. Tough. Smart. He won't talk about it, he'll just keep working.
There are great matchups every week all over with guys that have either worked together or know each other ... It's part of the job. You get so wrapped up in what you're doing and your season; you just don't think about it that much.
We talk every couple of weeks. Maybe not as much this year because we're playing ... Some times we'll hook up during the summer, but it's tough because I usually go back to Idaho. This will be a nice thing to see everybody, but there is a game to play.
They call him 'Big Jim,' or 'The American,' ... because he didn't take any crap.
There were times during a game I'd look over before the snap and Marvin would lift up his facemask and throw up three times ... That's how he played. He brought it all the time.
Marvin eventually moved to linebacker, but it wasn't because of me ... I couldn't have done that and he not only switched but he was all-conference. He was what you'd think he was. A tough and intelligent player.
