Is Teddy Bruschi crazy or something?

Chad Johnson's comment, "
"Just waking up after a late arrival,I've never seen a machine operate like that n person,to see video game numbers put up n person was WOW"


ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi, while on sports radio WEEI, said Ochocinco better "drop the awe factor" and "stop tweeting and get in your playbook."

Bruschi added that Ochocinco shouldn't be looking at the Patriots' performance from a fan's perspective, but instead should assume this is the expectation.

"You're not someone who's on another team or watching TV," Bruschi said. "You're not an analyst. You're a part of it. They want you to be a part of it. So get with the program because obviously you're not getting it and you're tweeting because you're saying, 'It's amazing to see'? It's amazing to see because you don't understand it. You still don't understand it and it's amazing to you because you can't get it.

"Wake up! If you're just waking up now -- I don't know when this was, six minutes ago? -- get out your bed and get to the stadium and watch some film if you still think it's amazing. If you're in it and you know what you're doing and you execute out there, you don't think it's amazing. You know why? Because it's what you're supposed to do."

The Patriots acquired Ochocinco, a six-time Pro Bowler, from the Cincinnati Bengals in late July. Due to the lockout and the late offseason trade, the 10-year veteran had to play catch-up learning the Patriots' system.

I am not into twitter, but that was nothing to rip Johnson about. Give me a break. He was complimeting his team. The more I think about how cocky the Pats former players and coaches are, the more I grind my teeth.

I mean really. I consider myself pretty old school, but that comment by Johnson didnt deserve a response like that.

Bruschi must've forgot what it was to be a Patriot.

Belicheat takes advantage of matchups and Welker drew the advantages this week. 85 will get his later in the season.

Teddy Bruschi is a idiot.
I heard what he said on ESPN just now, and IMO there was nothing wrong with what Chad had to say.

Chad was giving a opinion on what he saw on the field. If he didn't say it on twitter I bet he would have said it in a interview.

Since Chad Johnson wasn't taking part in the game and only caught one pass and spent the rest of the time on the sideline. I'm sure it was just like watching a game when he could have been on the field making a difference to the team.

I agree with Bruschi 100%. Johnson is known for his antics and he hasn't done squat for the Patriots - at this point he is as overrated as they come.

that was uncalled for. most players like chad would be upset that he only had 3 passes thrown his way and was left out for the most part. instead he is glad of how sucessful the QB was. no whining or complaining or any selfishness. chad is gonna get his later in the season and he knows it. but you can tell that being around an elite QB in a winning environment has rubbed off on him and he is happy the team succeeds even if he doesnt. bruschi needs to fall back. i understand what he means but i dont agree with how he said it.

I agree completely.

There is nothing wrong with what was said by chad. He doesn't control how much attention he gets on the field.

Like you said, he will get his share this season, but the guy has never had a QB like Brady on his team. Let the guy witness how great of a player Tom is, and don't kill Chad because of what he had to say.

What an idiotic assumption.

in ONE game? lmfao @ that argument for Bruschi

[Hatake.]

It took Chad about ten seconds to tweet.

I thought it was off-base by Bruschi, and a huge overreaction.

Absolutely, and to some degree I don't think he's accepted he can't play anymore. Honestly, his mental health concerns me. The dude is really intense. I'm waiting for him to have a Jim Everett moment in the booth with somebody.
