Man...Chad should be joining his mates for these critical sessions of running around in worn-out sweatpants and playing catch. They all should be there...they'll get too far behind![/quote] yea I'm sure he doesn't need to be in those meetings, learning all the changes they made to the playbook.

cinci1fan1 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 [quote name='Dautcom08' post='760081' date='Mar 31 2009, 04:37 PM']Can voluntary camp be helpful? Yeah I'm sure it can. But does it directly relate to the kind of season you have on the field? Hell no it doesn't. Especially for a player like Chad when all you do is come out, jog a few routes and workout. Something you can do any place in the country at this point in the offseason. [b]I think Carson is acting like just as much a school girl as Chad here pouting about Chad not calling him back or showing up or whatever[/b]. Why even take the shot at Chad about having players to replace him because he's working out somewhere else instead of some place that's VOLUNTARY? Sounds like a leader to me taking shots at your other teammates. Why should Carson continually get a free pass? I think these two put on a facade their whole time here together to begin with. Two totally different personatilities.[/quote] Seriously, I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 [quote name='oldschooler' post='760121' date='Mar 31 2009, 06:44 PM']Again, Carson just had twins, and he is there. So are numerous other vets. I really don't care what he is doing. I care that he isn't with his team mates. [color="#FF0000"]There are some players that aren't there, but they never went on some "trade me" tirade.[/color] And they didn't publicly say they would be at all team functions, Chad did. Chad had the worst season of his career, since he rookie year. He was injured last season too. He was always at the voluntary stuff until he hired Rosenhaus, and became Ochocinco. He needs to get back to the kind of person he was, or he needs to be gone.[/quote] Come on Old, that's really what this is about isnt it? If not why arent you bitching that Shayne hasnt signed his tender and reported? or the other players that havent reported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Shayne has to work on rhythm and chemistry like Chad does. I also didn't hear Shayne saying that he was going to be here, on National TV, like Chad. Really, do you believe that the two really compare? Or that Chad compares with Ndukwe, who is attending classes, or Dhani? Chad has made a rift, Chad needs to fix it. Chad had an awful season. Chad needs to work on rebounding. Chad needs to show his team mates, and some fans that he is dedicated to turning things around. Shayne doesn't.

Chad had an badly injured shoulder...played on it anyway. Chad had 500 yards, trying to catch balls from a junior high-armed nothing with no running game and a bad line. Chad was here...trying to play under a nitwit OC...did I mention with a severely injured shoulder? No Chad just needs to get on the fucking field healthy in September. Then he will proceed to blow the doors off of all the league. Write it down. And how much "rhythm" can one muster playing catch in sweatpants in March?

At least they are trying to make things better. And it was so injured that he didn't have surgery, didn't miss a regular season game, and didn't wear a brace. It was injured, but let's not use it as a crutch. [quote]No Chad just needs to get on the fucking field healthy in September. Then he will proceed to blow the doors off of all the league.

And yeah, he will blow their doors off, like he did in 2007. When he got the majority of his stats in 4 games. [quote]And how much "rhythm" can one muster playing catch in sweatpants in March?[/quote] Alot more than if they weren't working on it at all. If it is important enough for Carson, Benson, Coles and a host of others to be there, don't you think it is equally as important for Chad to shut up his critics, stop being a distraction, actually try and better his game, and the younger WRs game, and work on turning this shit around?

At least you are aiming at where you think the solution needs to be...instead of thinking that trade-the-offender is the only righteous thing to do...as if the violation of not showing up in March to run around in sweatpants and play catch was too great a sin to forgive.

Seriously, if he hadn't been "too Hollywood" then it wouldn't have mattered much if he was absent and working out in LA with Charles Collins. But he made it an issue, and made it a team issue, because he is money hungry. I grew to love the fun loving, hard working, sleeping at the stadium Chad Johnson. I have equally grown to hate the whining, lackadasical, more worried about writting a book than throwing a block, "underpaid" Ochocinco. He use to think this voluntary stuff was important, once upon a time ago. I think it is even more important to him now, than it was then. In a lot more ways than then too.

SoCal.BengalFan Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 If i did not have to go to work tomorrow why would I? Its voluntary. Chad made 5 straight pro bowls you really think he has to work on his game in April when the season starts in September thats retarded. Dudes only 31 years old, coming back from injury im sure he will be fine. Hes been playing with Carson for 7 years i doubt these workouts will make or brake the season. Leave Ocho Cinco alone, he has done nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalBacker Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 It's simple. Chad doesn't want to be on the team anymore. Carson doesn't want Chad on the team anymore. Marvin doesn't want Chad on the team anymore. Most of the team doesn't want Chad on the team anymore. I don't want Chad on the team anymore. We [b]WILL[/b] trade Chad. It's just a matter of what we can get. Chad, get the fuck off my team. Mike Brown, make it fucking happen. If we don't, Mike Brown is a poopy pants.

scharm Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 It's simple times 2. They'll get on the field. If Hobson didn't post bullshit about the phenom factory, Carson will get a look at Simpson, Caldwell, and Henry turn around and give thumbs up to Brat, then Brat give thumbs to Marvin, then Marvin smiles to Mike, Mike dials the phone and all of sudden there is extra draft picks to play with.

It's called a CBA and it sets the amount of off season workouts and minicamps a team can make mandatory. So blame the Lazy ass players union who while because they have to work too hard to make multi-million dollars. Anyway, I'll let you guys get back to arguing about the soon to be Ex-Cincinnati Bengal. I'll be glad when he's gone because we will never win anything with him on this team.
