Quick Hits: Chad Greets Bengals Rookies And Finds The Ocho Generation; Peerless Peerman Returns
Quote:So when Johnson barged into the cornerbacks huddle Thursday asking who wanted to take some releases, Newton jumped up.
"Ocho being Ocho," Newton said. "He already called me out. He couldn't be looking for me again."
Finally, Newton got to shake his hand, after trash-talking introductions. Like everyone else, Johnson came away impressed with Newton as they pressed together on an imaginary line, the rookie trying to outfox the Bengals' all-time leading receiver.
It will be recalled that's the space where Johnson made his six Pro Bowls, a feathery middleweight disappearing at scrimmage before appearing in the secondary and now in the Bengals Ring of Honor.
Apparently, Newton was able to do what so many couldn't and was able to get his hands on Johnson with hand thrusts they call "stabs," disrupting his route.
