The Bengals got LB Ray Bentley off waivers, I believe, from the Giants about 30 years ago. He had a nice career with the Giants, but looked like he wasn't trying at all as a Bengal. Once, when Bentley was benched, David Shula came over to meet him as he walked to the sideline and he tweaked the bill of Shula's cap just to be a disrespectful ass, and kept walking to the bench. I'd bet money that I'm the only person besides those two who remember that show of disrespect, lol. Bentley's stint with the Bengals has stuck with me all these decades because it was such a shock to see that guy suddenly stinking up the field after being a pretty good LB his whole career with the Giants.
Former Bengal, Bob Trumpy was doing color that game and said of Bentley's lackluster play, "Great players come to the Bengals and just turn to jelly." 30 years ago, folks. A couple years after the great Paul Brown died. The more things don't change the more they stay the same.
