CINCINNATI -- Coach Marvin Lewis refused to talk about

suspended linebacker Odell Thurman on Tuesday, another indication

that he has written him out of the Cincinnati Bengals' plans.

Thurman was suspended for the season because he violated the

NFL's substance abuse policy. He can apply to the league for

reinstatement before next season.

Lewis has been upset with the middle linebacker's repeated

off-field problems, and took his locker away when the NFL handed

down its suspension. Lewis also told Thurman to stay away from the

team.

"Odell is not a member of this football team," Lewis said

Tuesday. "He's on suspension by the NFL. He's got a long road to

go. I'm not even going to spend any time talking about Odell.

"We're talking about our '07 season. He's not part of this

football team. We don't need to talk about it."

Good call, he'd be a great pickup for them, San Diego Maybe ?. If they unload Donnie Edwards he could be a nice fit there, they would look even more scary provided he can stay out of trouble.

Odell strikes me more as a 4-3 MLB than a 3-4 ILB. But maybe Odell could do his infractions south of the border and not have it count....

I'd like to see him follow Dillon and "grow up" in New England. Bruschi, Vrabel, and probably Seau are some pretty good influences. And if he doesn't mind his Ps and Qs, they'll just have Rodney smack him instead of the WR.

Not happening. Payton's mantra from the very start has been "high character" individuals.

Plenty of room here in the 313. funny how that translates into 3-13.
