Tigris Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 [quote name='Bunghole' post='615109' date='Dec 29 2007, 01:42 PM'][b]"I'm disappointed with the way he's responded in a tough season," Collins says. "He's abandoned the things that got him there. The discipline in the route running. Trying to free lance more. The little things. I've counted him for 20 drops this year. Just flat out he got his hands on. That's just getting away from the things that have made him so successful. "He's a great player," Collins says. "Tough, passionate. A great athlete. It just comes down to focus." Collins and Johnson talk all the time. Collins, from out in California, spent the week telling him about the touchdown pass against Cleveland that was broken up at the last instant. "If he just acts like a rebounder and shields the guy off and just falls on top of him, he catches it," says Collins, who also got on him about the touchdown drop in San Francisco the week before. "That was just simply a case of lazy hands." When the Miami media asked Johnson this week what he thought of a season in which he has just three 100-yard games and three games with touchdowns, Johnson talked about the double and triple coverages and the fact he can only do what he can do when the ball is thrown to him. But Collins has been a lot tougher on him. "All he has to do is look at T.J.," Collins says. "T.J. has never relied on natural talent. He's kept working at the little things. Last offseason, T.J. spent two-and-a-half months working with me. Chad spent two-and-a-half weeks." [/b] This is what I got out of this article. That and a lot of "Mommy".[/quote] If we had 5 more TJs... we'd have a hell of a group of WRs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDeyThink Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 [quote name='GoBengals' post='615103' date='Dec 29 2007, 02:18 PM']how ould value be done through a trade? that makes even less sense, if we trade for a player of equal value, we would have to pay them a huge salary as well. the palyer doesnt HAVE to sign a damn thing here. so we take ocho's 8-9 mil hit, then pay an equal talent 8-9 mil as thats their worth, so we spend all of our cap on 1 player on the roster? if we rid ourselves of chad, we are rebuilding 100% next year. and as far as "told you so" about 500 reporters have had this rumormill fodder out there for months... there is nothing groundbreaking about chad being an attention whore and acting like a pouty bitch. we should be used to it by now.[/quote] so you don't listen to Sirius...

But you do .... why ? If it is all such worthless gibber jabber. My appologies for hearing a nearly 30 minute conversation on how this "could" be chad's last game as a Bengal, and then posting in the only place I figured people would want to hear about it.

MULLY Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 [quote name='Bunghole' post='614586' date='Dec 28 2007, 01:49 PM']Man, I'm not slamming you, but those two sentences just don't jibe for me. "Team Over The Player" and "Chad" mentioned together just don't ring true, because they are oxymoronic, [color="#FF0000"][b]at least since the pissburgh Playoff Meltdown [/b][/color](how do you make that little "trademark" symbol?)....until now.[/quote] That was 2 years ago.
