Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

Since I hadn't looked at the statistics prior to my last post, here are some. They contradict some, but maybe not all, of what I said previously.

Total - 93 catches, 1,440 yds, 8 tds

Own 1-20 - 10, 178, 0
Own 20-49 - 46, 821, 1

1st down catches - 74/93 - 79.6% (so he does more the chains)

Compared to T.J. Houshmandzadeh, 6-1, 199

Opp 19-1 - 7, 49, 4
Opp 49-20 - 13, 152, 0

Opp 20-49 - 36, 485, 0

1st down catches - 34/64 - 53.1%

Compared to Santana Moss, 5-10, 200 (28 years old)

Total - 61 catches, 808 yds, 3 tds

Opp 19-1 - 3, 11, 1 (OUCH!)
Opp 49-20 - 26, 360, 3 (note to NFL.com, those TDs don't add up right)
Opp 1-20 - 10, 124, 0
Opp 20-49 - 28, 381, 0

1st down catches - 47/61 - 77.0%

Compared to Chris Cooley

Total - 66 catches, 781 yds, 8 tds

Opp 19-1 - 9, 106, 6
Opp 49-20 - 28, 368, 2
Opp 1-20 - 5, 54, 0
Opp 20-49 - 29, 304, 0

1st down catches - 37/66 - 56%

So it turns out Chad Johnson is pretty good. Would be a matter of compensation, which worries me since the Redskins have yet to end not overpay in a trade since Snyder has owned the team. We shall see.

Lewis rejects Chad trade talk.[/QUOTE]

i did not see that in the article.

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

Chad is not T.O. I would not mind seeing him come to DC to complement Moss and ARE. Given Campbell more targets and mor ethreats will open up the offense a lot more IMO. As a locker room cancer I would not classify him as so. Anyways if he ends up in the east we may well be in trouble.

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

i'd take him in a second... if draft picks and players become involved it gets much trickier though as far as improving the team...

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

The Redskins need a tall posession receiver to whom Campbell can throw the deep ball and have the receiver fight the ball (see Brady to Moss). That could be CJ or Berrian or even Randy Moss. Having that type of receiver will open up the passing game, and we need to have that. I doubt that could happen with a young rookie.

Its funny how everyone criticizes CJ, meanwhile here in Washington we have a receiver that is causing trouble in the locker room, he's getting paid, and he is doing NOTHING. At least Johnson is producing, despite the fact that he is having issues.

Oh if New England pays Moss, I will be shocked, they never pay anyone. Any team will pay Moss lots of $$, and if he wins the SB with New England, he will leave.

i don't know about that. he may choose to stay in NE for less $ simply because they give him the best opportunity to break records and win superbowls while still making plenty of $.

Looks like Chad isn't going anywhere. I certainly hope this ends the talk of him landing in DC.

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

Yeah, and Billick also said he'd be back next year
