Chad Ochocinco promised to tone down his antics now that he's in New England, where coach Bill Belichick likes his players to be seen and rarely heard. That lasted all of five minutes. After calling himself a chameleon who can "blend in and do it the Patriot way," Ochocinco riffed on riding the wave and soaring with his angel wings. Then, by way of introduction to the crush of media attending his first availability in New England, he asked for a group hug. "It is going to be a little quiet. You won't get the same Chad you are used to, and I probably won't be talking to the media much, probably not at all, really. I just want to play ball and ride the wave," he said after practice on Saturday. I will always be me. It has been a part of my game to always be me, but there is a certain way the Patriots do it. It's easy for me. I've always been a chameleon, so I am going to blend in and do it the Patriot way, which is win. We had our talk, and without him (Belichick) even having to saying anything — there is no need for some of the stuff I did before. There's no need for it." Source: USA Today
Im very curious to see if he'll actually be able to go a whole season without saying or doing something stupid.
He has to make it out of preseason first. 4 preseason games, 16 regular season games and playoffs? That's a lot to keep quiet during.
I could see it happening yea hes been imature people can change. He does love the game of football and it bothers him that he doesent have a lambardi. He will do all the right things this season imo.
Bill isn't going to let him get away with crap. Remember when benched Welker for his foot jokes about Rex Ryan last year?
