Nate Livings “Did It The Right Way”, Says Former Coach

Marvin Lewis, head coach of the Bengals, has nothing but good things to say about OG Nate Livings

In their quest to shore up the interior offensive line, the Dallas Cowboys signed guard Nate Livings a couple weeks ago, a 16-game starter for the Cincinnati Bengals in each of the last two seasons.

Seeing as he’s an offensive guard who most recently played for the Bengals, a good deal of folks around town are wondering whether he was a good pick-up.

According to Cincinnati’s head coach Marvin Lewis, the answer is a resounding “yes.” Lewis said this week that the Bengals wanted to re-sign Livings, but that for one reason or another, they couldn’t get a deal worked out. But despite his departure, Lewis has nothing but good things to say about the man who went undrafted out of LSU in 2006.

"We had a lot of irons in the fire and I think it just didn’t work out," said Lewis, per ESPN Dallas. "Nate is a guy who really earned his opportunity. He came in as an undrafted free agent and is a hard working physical guy who did it the right way."
