Signing Ochocinco: Te gusta?

[Ruhskins]

Given how Shanahan likes to have 30 WRs at camp, it wouldn't surprise me if we picked him up. Personally I don't think it would be the worst thing in the world if we did pick him up, because I would just see him as a camp body.

As someone said before, Ocho is a pretty dedicated guy to football and his antics are nowadays more funny than annoying. In terms of football, he's just past his prime and would be just another camp body anywhere he lands. He's not going to be taking away any reps or opportunities from anyone, unless he miraculously returns to his old form.

He showed up to OTA and immediately lined up in the wrong place and Branch had to tell him where he should be on the field. The knock on his stint in New England was he never took the time to learn the playbook...so i dont know how you could surmise he is dedicated to football. He clearly enjoys reality tv and being in the media spotlight...we have no use for a guy like this on our team at this point.

I said that if he's picked up, he'd be just a camp body...and honestly that's what he'd be anywhere else in the NFL. While I don't think he's as good as The Goat made him out to be, I just said that it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up here as a camp body, since we seem to bring a ton of WRs.

However, he might go the way of TO and not get picked up at all, so no reason for people to get their panties in a bunch.

If it was up to The Goat, are starting WRs would be Gaffney and Ochocinco and Santana in the slot. Pierre Garcon would be playing in Canada.

and this is pretty much my point. Out of however many WR's we got it seems Moss, Garcon, and Morgan are going to be the topic, the rest are just camp fodder. I like AA and he might make some noise. Hankerson I hope comes out blazing and showing again what he can do, BUT.... I also worry that perhaps he has the same injury again, reinjures whatever. I've heard of ankle, knee, calf, ham string, foot, toe, etc. etc. but for some reason I've hardly heard of his hip injury and needing surgery does not sound like to me like an injury that after surgery his hip and muscles around his hip will be stronger. Probably just me.

In any event CJ/Ocho in his old age might just be camp fodder, might actually be better then the 5th guy we don't know. But if it comes down to him or the 5th guy I want the best man on the field.

Yeah probably just you Doc.
