"trade me to Dallas!!!!!"

 

Dillons words at practice today

 

thats all i have to say

:banghead :banghead :banghead ONE WEEK LATE :banghead :banghead :banghead

 

 

deadline was week 6

Dillon has it in his head that because he was the former holder of THe Greatest Rushing Game, he deserves to be the team.

 

He has blown this year and yet The Bungles continue to charge along and doing a damn good job at it.

 

Trade him in The Off-Season for a decent back(Onterrio Smith?) and a draft pick.

sorry Rune,

 

why would the Vikings give up a draft pick and a mid round RB when they have Michael Bennet, Moe Williams AND Onterrio Smith? also Dillon is locked in at a high contract...

 

i would have liked him in big D

I don't know, SMith just came to my mind first.

 

I wouldn't sell Hambrick out so early(tuna would it seems), he impressed me at New York.

 

What about a possible Owens for Dillon deal?(Won't happen but it's a thought)

49ers have 2 very capable RB's so thats a no...

 

Parcells actually likes Ham but hes just not the type of back that you can rely on. one game he gets you 5 yards a carry the next he gets you 2...

On the third anniversary of breaking one of his sports? greatest records, Bengals running back Corey Dillon could no longer contain the frustration of playing hurt and amid trade rumors during a bizarre day Wednesday at Paul Brown Stadium.

 

During a locker room session before practice, Dillon responded to last week?s trade rumors that were spiced with doubts about is future durability with what sounded like a plea for a change of venue . But he also left the door open for happiness in Cincinnati if the Bengals continue to turn things around under head coach Marvin Lewis.

 

?Get it done. Make me happy. This thing has been lingering around for years and years. This is my confession. Change is good. Change is very good. The question is, do I want to see myself here next year,? Dillon said of trades. ?Dude, plug me into a Denver, Plug me into a Dallas, I?d have the rushing title hands down, period. Put me in a different situation and you hear my name every Sunday. These are things I know.?

 

Dillon, the emotional heart and soul of an offense that hasn?t had a winning season since he arrived in 1997 to become the club?s all-time leading rusher, sent more mixed messages than Morse code.

 

He sounded a more conciliatory note when he walked into the media room after practice in an effort to clarify his statements. Asked if he wanted to be here or somewhere else, he said, ?I?ll just leave it like this. I?ll be somewhere contending for a Super Bowl. . .Next time you guys see C.D., he?ll be hosting up a Super Bowl trophy.? Asked why he couldn?t do it here, he said, ?It could. Why couldn?t it??

 

He also said, ?there?s a way out of everything,? apparently referring to his five-year contact that runs out after the 2005 season. He also said during the course of the day that Lewis is ?a great coach,? and that he?ll turn around the team.

 

The trading deadline passed last Tuesday and they had no desire to trade him because it would be at least an immediate salary cap hit in excess of $4 million. Yet he seems to think the trade seed started in Cincinnati. Economically, they can?t change his status until after June 1

 

Lewis spoke to Dillon after practice and was left with the impression that Dillon is frustrated by what he believes are reports being sent out of Cincinnati that he is washed up even though he turns just 29 this coming Friday.

 

Dillon didn?t practice Wednesday, but he?s listed as probable and Lewis said he has no plans to bench him because of the comments, that he?ll start against the Seahawks Sunday at PBS, and that he feels better this week than he did last week.

 

?He?s venting it and he?s just disappointed how he?s been treated and that?s all you can do. It?s nothing personal against anybody in that building at all. It?s not personal to anyone at Paul Brown Stadium,? Lewis said. ?He feels like outside of it he?s not getting a fair shake. When gets on the field here he?ll have his fair shake. He knows that. He can?t be himself (because of the injury).

 

?I?m sorry it?s alarming. It ain?t us. It?s you guys,? Lewis said to the media. ?You love Corey?s spirit and he?s disappointed he can?t quite be himself. He feels like people are writing and informing people around he country that this guy is not who he was. Everybody gets hurt. Why all of a sudden when he gets hurt is it such a big deal? That?s what is frustrating him.?

 

 

In what he called ?a confession,? Dillon endorsed Lewis Wednesday, but suggested for the first time it might not be a match.

 

?It?s time for me to make a confession. Am I happy? Maybe I am, maybe I?m not,? Dillon said. ?This thing is much deeper than Marvin Lewis. He?s a great coach. He?s doing a great job, and by no way am I trying to tarnish what he?s doing here. He?s a great coach. Is he going to turn this thing around? Yes. Will I be here to see it? Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows?

 

?You hear, ?Corey?s not a guy that fits in with what Marvin is doing.? Possible,? Dillon said. ?Maybe I want to do different things. Maybe I see myself in a different situation doing what I envision me doing. Will it get done here? I don?t know. How we go from being one of the strongest running teams to one of the weakest, I don?t know. When I?m healthy, I don?t get the ball more than 20 times a game.?

 

Dillon hasn?t carried more than 23 times in a game in a full year, or since he went for 138 yards on 30 carries last Oct. 27 in a 30-24 loss to Tennessee. The Bengals are ranked next to last in NFL rushing, but know that a large part of that is because Dillon hasn?t been healthy since the first half of the second game.

 

The whispers about his health combined with last week?s NFL trade deadline rumors and his 39-yard effort on 18 carries in the win over Baltimore appeared to put him over the edge. He said he has been boiling over with these thoughts since his rookie year.

 

?When I?m healthy, I?m the most dangerous running back in the game. Period,? Dillon said. ?I don?t see any other teams stacking their defenses for seven consecutive years to stop one man. That should be evidence of the caliber of player I am. Since I?ve got a groin injury, people want to cancel me out. I?ve been a warrior, I come in and put my hard hat on, go to work get the job done. It?s always something. If I didn?t play, that would be something. When I play, ?Ah he can?t make any cuts.? Lets see how many people in this profession try to make these hard cuts with a groin injury.

 

?Do I feel a little stepped on. Yeah, I do. Have I been feeing this way for a long time? (Yes). It has nothing to do with the new regime, the new coaches. This boils back to ?97, and it?s been like this for a long time.?

 

The seven-year itch seem to be hitting Dillon hard Wednesday. But Lewis said he talked to him Tuesday and he seemed fine, as he did after Wednesday?s practice.

 

?However they get it done, they can get it done,? Dillon said. ?I?m tired of clashing with the media here. I?m, tired of being unhappy. I just want to be happy and play football and reach my goals. What?s wrong with that?

 

?I?m not saying anything against anyone here. They?re doing it the right way. By far. It?s just my goals, my dreams. The things I want to get accomplished in my life. I don?t want my career to go by with could have, would have, should have. I don?t want to be that guy.?

Could this guy send a few more mixed messages?

 

Getting rid of this guy might be addition by subtraction. He hasn't been on board all year and Rudi Johnson can play in this league, there's no doubt.

Corey Dillon is a great back, the Bengals are a horrible team.

 

And I love that competitiveness.

Corey Dillon is a great back, the Bengals are a horrible team.

 

And I love that competitiveness.

If you STILL think the Bengals are horrible, you need to get your head examined.

 

And explain to me how coming out and crying like a girl when your team has won 2 out of 3 and starting to get the ball rolling (with 3 winnable games coming up) is competitive? He's selfish.

 

Corey never threw fits like this when he was getting a buck fifty and we were getting our a** kicked.

Kitna has been playing well lately...

Was the Tuna talking about moving Ham to fullback?

they did mention Ham as a FB but as of today hes still the feature back in big D

I hate Dillion. In Madden I lways trade him . Hes usless. If we gave him the damn ball like he wants too we would continue to suck. Bengals are in the right direction. I like Rudi so I could careless if they trade Dillion. He says the same s*** everyyear. We have some talented recievers that deserve to get the ball thrown to them and anyways Dillions is the only one that Lewis had problems with. He was the only one to miss the voulenter camp and then he arrived late to training camp.

Dillon is 31.

 

 

I doubt he will become a Cowboy.

 

 

I wouldnt be shocked to see the team pick up someone in the draft next spring though....

Mo Clarett... hmmmm the Tuna would punk him non stop :lol

i dont want clarett.

 

 

besides he wont be in the draft next year.

could be... but i dont want him either. Jones from FSU would fit the system

That and he's 2nd in the NFL in carries the last 3 years. Whiner.

What an idiot. Thats all I have to say.

He WILL be traded during the offseason. Marvin Lewis wants players who are willing to play for Cincinnati. If Dillon doesn't want to play, he'll be gone.

Bengals 27, Seahawks 24.

 

Rudi Johnson, 100+ yards.

 

3 out of 4 without Corey, going to Arizona.

 

Case closed.
