Chad can't extend his knee; scheduled for MRI on Monday

by Josh Kirkendall on Jan 4, 2010 11:10 AM EST in Injury

Considering that the Bengals played a game in their pre-playoff bye week game, Cincinnati's wide receiver Chad "going to be Johnson again?" Ochocinco hurt his knee during Sunday night's pregame routine. While making a cut, Chad slipped on the cold, slick surface at Giants stadium.

Today at noon, Chad is scheduled to have an MRI on his knee because he can't extend his knee.

If Chad can't go this Sunday, then the team's leading receivers -- Andre Caldwell and Laveranues Coles -- would be the likely starters. Not that it matters because if they continue dropping the football, it won't matter who starts.

If we had just rested our starters

Pat Sims wouldn’t be out for the season and the Ocho would be 100%

Ugh…

Sims

would probably still be out. We Rested Peko, and Tank is ahead of Sims. Harris and Smith could not have played that many snaps, so Sims would still get his share.

This is where the incompetence of the coaching staff starts to bite us on the ass.

Wasting a pick on Jerome Simpson.

Well if you had a real GM

and some real scouts, you wouldn’t be relying on Bratworst to pick the wide receivers. Bratworst loved him some Jerome Simpson.

The real fault lies as always with Mike Brown and the nepotism machine. 20 years of incompetence isn’t cured by a couple of extra unexpected division wins in a year where Pittsburgh was missing its best defensive player and the Ravens lost a bunch of close games to winning teams. They didn’t suddenly find the magic formula for winning, because nothing has changed from the previous years.

If I recall . . .

The Simpson pick was made because the Steelers loved the guy and were going to take him a few picks later. The Steelers wound up with Limas Sweed 8 picks later.

(Of course we know DeSean Jackson went to Philly between Simpson and Sweed.)

After no WR’s went in the first round in 2008 the was a run on them in the second. Nine of the first 22 were WR’s. Simpson and Sweed have been the least productive.
