Chad Ochocinco is tired of being a sidekick. When the Cincinnati Bengals signed receiver Terrell Owens at the start of training camp, Ochocinco was content playing "Robin" to T.O's "Batman," saying he was glad to stay in the background to help the team, but not any longer. Ochocinco went out of his way to call attention to himself during a 27-21 loss to Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night, wearing bright gold cleats in a look-at-me gesture that caught everyone's eye. He also vented his frustration as the game went along and he got shut down, exchanging words with quarterback Carson Palmer and coach Marvin Lewis. Lewis yanked him from the game briefly to help him cool down and Ochocinco finished with only one catch, while Owens had 10 catches and two more touchdowns. "Yeah, he was upset," Lewis said. "But we've got to play football. If he's not going to get it done right, he's got to come take an opportunity to freshen up his mind and get right back in the game." "It's been like that all year," Ochocinco said. "Teams are taking me away. It's very frustrating. They're not allowing me to be available to help this team out. I was emotional, but in no way did it affect what we were doing out there on the field." Source: Associated Press
He wasn't frustrated. He had a tantrum during a game and his teammate had to make him leave his quarterback alone when they were in the huddle. That is just sad...................
:icon_cheesygrin: I almost feel sorry for Palmer with Ding and Dong all over his butt. I thought the QB was suppose to be the leader on the field. Palmer looks like a whipped dog out there.
he wasn't being targeted all night long, what do you expect, and hell the first time he gets targeted, it came out with two penalties, holding and false start frustration does different things to different people TO wasn't even a problem last night hell he's been the damn answer this whole season so far
Tough deal for Chad. While Ocho surely is seeing double teams, TO is playing at a ridiculous level and he and Carson are clicking. Add in talent like Gresham and Shipley, and that's even less targets.
people are blind man, they're only going to see things the way they want to see them. No one is ever going to be fair to Terrell Owens. Dudes a helluva athlete, that hasn't lost a step, they know it, but won't admit it, because it will hurt their pride too much to give props to someone that they want to see fail. :icon_cool:
