COB Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Chad constantly freelances on routes because he can't beat the db running the precise route. He likes to break routes off early to get open. Carson couldn't hit him quick enough, and Brady won't be able to either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Notice when Chad caught the TD pass he just gave the ball back to the ref, no stupid TD celebration or nothing. Man i wish he would have just kept his mouth shut and played football here!! Oh no he always had to have some stupid TD celebration, i guess now its just handing the ball to the ref Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man i wish he would have just kept his mouth shut and played football here!! Oh no he always had to have some stupid TD celebration, i guess now its just handing the ball to the refI think the Patsies managed to give him the fear of God when it became clear that Tom Brady wasn't putting up with his sloppy habits (including terrible routes), and that if they continued he was going to get cut.Interestingly, this isn't a phenomenon unique to football. Long-term employees tend to become entitled, and it can take a new job, new coworkers, and higher expectations to give them the kick in the ass they need.Of course, it helps if the new organization and its management earns respect through a history of success.

kingwilly Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I will be very eager to watch and see if Chad can actually get separation against the CB's in the AFC East. If he has lost a step or two, he will be very ineffective. If he can still get open, he could end up having a pretty big year with Brady firing lasers to him. Mostly, though, I think he will be a decoy, and Brady will gut defenses with Hernandez and Gronkowski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is slower, definitely a few steps from where he used to be. And it's not like he has a second career as a possession receiver. The reason why I see him out of town - if he breaks one route the wrong way and Mr. Bundchen throws a pick 6 because of it, he's gone. And that happened all the time the last 3 years in Cincinnati.

HoosierCat Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Chad continues to suck in NE.Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com broke down first-team snaps from Saturday’s game against Detroit. Ochocinco was in for 23 of 42 plays. That total was closer to Taylor Price (17 snaps) than it was to Deion Branch (34) or Rob Gronkowski (32). Wes Welker missed a series with an injury and played more than Ocho.Ochocinco wasn’t effective when he played. He didn’t make a catch, but he did have a 15-yard pass interference penalty. It looked like a bad call on television, but Tedy Bruschi of ESPNBoston.com points out that Ochocinco’s poor timing on the play caused the penalty.“When you’re in the Patriots’ precision offense, there is a right way to run a play and a wrong way,” Bruschi wrote.For now, Ochocinco is struggling to learn the right way. It’s only the preseason so there is no time to panic, but there’s no denying the transition hasn’t been easy.“To put it plainly, Chad Ochocinco’s sucked this preseason,” Tom Curran of CSNNE.com. “Yet because the guy has works his ass off, shows up every single day ready to go and is as disappointed in himself as everyone who wanted an Ocho explosion on arrival, I’m cutting him slack.”Looks like Chad is learning that you can't just switch it back on after spending years half-assing it. I have to wonder just how much slack NE will cut him before they...well, cut him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 So...this will prob get moved to NFL forum, but, f**k it. Beautiful 40-yard pass to Gronkowski from Brady, called back. Why?Because Chad Johnson, naturally, lined up on the LOS rather than stepping back after the TE on his side was also on the LOS.Saw that from that fool too many times to count over the years in Cincy.Had to laugh extra when Jaworski said Johnson had been around too much to make that mistake.HA HA HA.

It wasn't only the Bengals that got stiffed. Chargers, 49ers, Lions, and Jaguars. Not a word. In fact those 4 teams and the Bengals have been all but ignored all day by the talking heads.
