Pats try to trade Ocho and can't, so they will cut him[views:7380][posts:9]________________________________ [Jun 7,2012 4:01pm - RustyPS ""] http://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/210820710808031232 [img] |
| _______________________________ [Jun 7,2012 4:11pm - xmikex ""] Just posted this to PFT. I watched Ocho pick Brady’s brain all through training camp. I watched him stay late after practice and get extra reps in. I watched him squash all the distracting obnoxious public tendencies he had to try and fit in. I saw this guy try as hard as he possibly could to fit into a high powered offense so good that not even the fact that their highest profile wide receiver not knowing the playbook could stop it. And he just… couldn’t… do it. I don’t even know what else to say. I stood by this guy like I've never stood by a failed athlete before with maybe the exception of John Smoltz with the Red Sox. I'm stunned in one sense because I know the Pats were actually under the 90 man roster limit and that all eyes are on Andre Carter maybe coming back. I'm shocked so much deeper that this guy really really couldn't figure out how to play for the Patriots. |

Think about what it says about Belichick and the Patriots that they bungled their 2 biggest offseason acquisitions last year (Ocho and Haynesworthless) and still turned out a great season that was 1 drive away from winning the Super Bowl. I have way fewer regrets about this season than I do the 2007 mess. This team played its heart out. |
