crankdatfalcon Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution A stab at maturity didn't work for Chad Ochocinco.So the Bengals wideout, who's mired in a four-game slump, promised to emerge from Cincinnati's bye as the "Chad of old."Now we know what he meant.Ochocinco shipped boxes of shirts featuring the "Mad Chad" character from his forthcoming iPhone game to the Falcons' secondary in advance of Sunday's game at the Georgia Dome, TMZ.com is reporting. Last year he sent gift baskets of deodorant to the Baltimore Ravens, and in 2004 he sent Pepto-Bismol to the Cleveland Browns."I haven't been the Chad of old," he told Bengals.com last week. "The Chad we're all used to. The boisterous, sometimes little borderline cocky-arrogant. But that's what everybody feeds off as a city and an organization."When he gives opponents bulletin-board material, Ochocinco said, "I know I have no choice but to go out and perform at a high level. I feed off of that."The 32-year-old has done little since catching 12 balls for 159 yards and a touchdown in Cincinnati's opener. In the last four games, he's amassed just 157 receiving yards with zero scores. Meanwhile, Terrell Owens has been targeted 12 more times by Carson Palmer.When Ochocinco got a chance to make a big catch in Cincinnati's last game Oct. 10, the ball bounced off his hands and was intercepted with 25 seconds left. Tampa Bay promptly kicked a field goal to drop the Bengals to 2-3."I basically lost the game," Ochocinco told Bengals.com. "A confident Chad catches the ball 10 out of 10 (times)."That helped convince him to revert to the "Chad of old.""I was just trying something new, you know?" he said. "You're 32, you're trying to be a little bit more mature and try a different approach."That (bleep) doesn't work."Ochocinco sent the "Mad Chad" shirts to Falcons cornerbacks Dunta Robinson, Brent Grimes and Chris Owens and safeties William Moore and Thomas DeCoud, according to TMZ.com.

Dirtybird404 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yea maybe istead of fining players for hard hits the NFL should buy tampons for all the pansy fans. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickey Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 That's how other players percieve the falcons defense and secondary. It's well known that the falcons let underachievers show them off any given sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilkin Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yup, our D can't go out and "punch teams in the face" anymore. Maybe they will get coached to go shake hands instead? Sorry, I digress... I'm a bit miffed over the hipocracy that iks going on with the NFL atm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Birds are the truth Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Naw, we cant have another one of our corners getting fined or even suspended for hard hits.. +1 So...there's no more hard hits in the NFL anymore? Well in that case Dunta should have let Jackson score the TD. I agree totally with your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconsgirl4eva Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 OMG he's such a joke.... in a way, I'm glad he did that because now it will just motivate our secondary to come in on Sunday at 200%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 As a polite response, our secondary should all sign a neckbrace and send it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonFalcon Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 maybe someone will put on an Ocho jersey and mimick his celebrations...but the "I was shut down by _________" idea is good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Billings Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Is anyone surprised by Ocho's antics? I knew the moment T.O. outplayed him; he would result to gimmicks. He's lost a step and he doesn't even know it. Hopefully Palmer won't have a good game and one of our guys will get a pick. Unfortunately our defense has a way of making struggling quarterbacks look like world beaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
