Oops, what did I start.......

All he can do is help him with the mental part, and there are much better people (like AJ) to do that. Yes, Johnson was great.... how much greater would he have been if Ocho Cinco had never shown up.....
I mean, Hue did invite Chad to Browns camp to teach WR's, so it's clear that Hue doesn't think Chad's a moron. Do people think Chad's going to show up and just teach TD celebrations? Or that he'll convince Ross to change his name to Ocho Uno and demand a trade?

Tbh, I think Chad's calmed down quite a bit in his retirement. I only occasionally hear something about him, and it's usually Bengals related.
If he were still attention-seeking, he has the money and name to do so. He could've took a talking head gig, honestly.

I'm sure CJ wouldn't pull any punches if he has something to say either.
Maybe this guy really needs it.
TJ couldn't take the heat when he went to the Seahawks.
They ate him alive in the media out there.
I loved him when he was here but Housh flopped in Seattle and Baltimore.
You guys acting like Chad couldn't teach him technique are straight up cray cray.
It's the Patriots playbook that he couldn't get and his work ethic slipped in the end.
I guess you all forgot how Johnson used to be... camping out at the facility and forever student of the game?
Do you actually believe he'll give him end of career advice or he'll give him rookie/young player "needs to bust his tail" advice?
I'm gonna lean to the latter.
...and he's far from alone on that. They were just talking about Reggie Wayne not being able to grasp that playbook on CBS radio the other day.
And good point on Chad's old work ethic. I'm pretty sure he's over the whole "Ocho" phase. Some will never let him live that down though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
