The Bengals hired Jim Turner as their offensive line coach and that means he is back in the NFL for the first time since being fired by the Dolphins following an investigation into allegations of bullying inside the organization during the 2013 season.In a report put together by Ted Wells at the behest of the NFL Dre Kirkpatrick Jersey , Turner was cited for tolerating and participating in harassment of players including former NFL offensive lineman Jonathan Martin. He sued Wells for defamation, but that suit was dismissed last year.Turner worked with Bengals head coach Zac Taylor at Texas A&M and was set to work under Taylor on the University of Cincinnati staff in 2016 before an offer to return to A&M presented itself. Turner was suspended two weeks while at the school because he included sexually themed jokes in a presentation made at a football clinic for women.Taylor said he does not have concerns about Turner’s behavior earlier this month. Turner cited his Irish Catholic background and time in the Marine Corps with giving him a coarse sense of humor and made him comfortable being “harsh” and “direct” when it comes to telling players what to do. He also said he’s learned that he needs to find other ways to make those points in the future.“You need to make your points,” Turner said, via ESPN.com. “I don’t see the NFL, speaking to an offensive line in the NFL, as much different. And so there are some things said sometimes that wouldn’t come out right if the average citizen walking down the street were to listen to it. Unfortunately Billy Price Jersey , some of the things that I said and some of the things I did with my players had to come out. And so, moving forward, I just have to be smarter about what I do when I try to use entertainment to motivate the players.”Turner said he appreciates that Taylor stood on the table for him and that he will “come in here and do the right thing and do a good job” for the Bengals. Raiders coach Jon Gruden loves the energy Antonio Brown brings to his team. And also the attitude Vontaze Burfict walks in the door with.There is the small matter, however, of their history before becoming teammates.Via Peter King of NBC’s , Gruden had the former Steelers-Bengals rivals join forces in a team-building version of “Family Feud” during OTAs.“They’re good Jessie Bates Jersey ,” Gruden said. “We played Family Feud one day in our team meeting. We had three guys on one team, three guys on the other. Our version of “Family Feud.” Silver team and a Black team. The Silver team was Antonio Brown, Vontaze Burfict and I think we had Isaiah Crowell on the team.“You gotta try to get these guys to know each other. This is the only time that you can really do that. April, May, June. It’s almost like church. Everybody stand up. Shake a hand, introduce yourself to your teammates. Otherwise Sam Hubbard Jersey , Peter never gets to know Jon and Jon never meets Joe.”Gruden described it as “a helluva game,” and that’s also one way of describing the Burfict-Brown relationship before they became teammates. The former Bengals linebacker knocked Brown out in a playoff game, just one of the times he and the Steelers were at odds over Burfict’s over-the-top style.But Gruden went on and on about the “energy” Brown brought to the team, while mentioning Burfict “talking trash at us down the hall” at their facility. It’s a fascinating dynamic, and Gruden’s going to have to be at his Richard Dawson-best as a host to make it work.
