Chad Ochocinco, (mostly) uncensored
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 at 10:17 am in Oakland Raiders.
Conference calls are often routine affairs, but not in the case of Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco. No sense in doing much editing on this one. Particularly interesting were Ochocinco’s observations on cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and his thoughts about how catching passes ought to be a refined skill by the time a receiver enters the NFL as a rookie.
Q: Hello, Chad, how are you doing?
Ochcinco: OK, hello. Hola. Como esta?
Q: Bien, y usted?
Ochocinco: Cool, cool, cool.
Q: Any news to report from the Ocho Cinco News Network?
Ochocinco: Oh, man, I’m just coming to give the Black Hole the best show they’ve ever seen. I’m not sure if they’ve really had much to look forward to this year but, man, we’re coming to town. It will for damned sure be a circus.
Q: Are you sending the Raiders any gifts this week?
Ochocinco: No, no, no, I can’t pay for shipping and handling. That’s too damn far.
Q: What are your thoughts about going up against Asomugha?
Ochocinco: It’s going to be fun. It was fun the last time I went against him, it’s going to be fun this time I go against him. I can’t wait.
Q: Did you play against his team when you were at Oregon State?
Ochocinco: I can’t remember. All I remember is playing against him when we played Oakland the last time he was here, when Fabian was on the other side. That was fun. I enjoyed it.
Q: That was the last time a team went at Asomugha. How much do you keep tabs on Asomugha’s exploits?
Ochocinco: Not at all, not at all. I never have. Everyone says he’s the best defensive back in the NFL, so I just go along and I agree with everybody else and then I will permit to go out there Sunday and have my fun, like I usually do every week. So, it’s no different. He’s an awesome, awesome defensive back. I watch him on film. I’ve dissected every single technique that he does. Every single one. So, he’s really awesome and he’s one of the few cornerbacks, where any defensive coordinator, I don’t care what team he played on, he makes a defense that much easier when you can leave somebody like that on an island by yourself and you can actually lock down one side.
Q: Does it make it that much more fun for you?
Ochocinco: Exactly. There you go. Exactly. You put it together. I can’t F-ing wait, excuse my language.
Q: Is it odd that he doesn’t trash-talk much?
Ochocinco: He doesn’t. I tried to frustrate him the last time he was here, and he doesn’t say much. So, I don’t know. But he is the best. I’m not going to sit here and play around about it. I’ve watched him on film. I actually got cut-ups on him. When I saw the schedule, I get the cut-ups on who I think I need to study. So, once I saw the schedule for the 2009 season, him and Champ were the first ones, the only two, where I said, ‘Let me see what they did last year and see who they went against that was of quality’ and just get a jump on them. I’ve studied him this year, and it’s still the same: he’s one of the best.
Q: How much more fun does it make it when you guys are winning?
Ochocinco: It makes it a lot better. It makes it a lot better. Even though it’s fun to be winning, but my fun has to be, quote, put to a minimum because I get out of control. So, coach Lewis kind of got me in a little bind right now about doing some of the things that I do. So, there’s no care packages going out.
Q: Why did you feel so confident that the Bengals were going to go 12-4?
Ochocinco: Because I just know. I don’t know why people always continue to … If you ever follow me, anytime I say I’ve said anything regarding football, which is all I know, I’ve never been wrong. Whether I’m guaranteeing a win, whether I’m talking about beating a defensive back that following Sunday, I’ve never been wrong. So, I don’t know why people, when I say something outlandish like, ‘I think we’re going to go 12-4,’ I can see it. I’m the one here working. I’m the one that’s training with this team. I see the team every day. The outsiders base their information on what we did last year. Last year means nothing. It means nothing, and that’s why they laugh when I say 12-4 before the season even started. I saw this coming. I saw it coming.
Q: What was it that you saw of this turnaround coming?
Ochocinco: Man, the offense itself, everything. The offense, the defense. Really, the defense, they’re saving us. I mean, it’s not that we’re doing bad but as an offense, we’re not that ’05 (team) where we were putting up 30 points just for no god damn reason. That’s how we were. We were just scoring just to be scoring, for no reason at all. But we’re playing good football. We’re not playing great football as an offense. But we’re playing good football, we’re winning games, we’re making enough plays to win at the end.
Q: Were you ready to come in as a rookie and play a lot?
Ochocinco: Uhh. Yeah, I think so because after that rookie year, once I got to that second year, it was a wrap. I took off from there. There was no looking back.
Q: Did you think you should be starting as a rookie?
Ochocinco: No, no, no, no, no. I wasn’t ready then. No. no. Not like that, not to be No. 1. No.
Q: How did you handle dropped passes as a young player?
Ochocinco: My second year I had a big drop that really kind of messed me up. I remember Jon Kitna was my quarterback. I dropped a ball that really caused us to lose. That was ‘02? I never forget that. That was the turnaround to my career right there. I remember Kitna saying there’s two things that could happen. Either this play right here is going to make you and ruin your career or you’re going to build off of it and shoot for the stars from this point.
Q: Can you teach sure hands as receiver?
Ochocinco: It’s natural man. It’s natural. You have some people who are just natural pass catchers and everything is smooth. Then you see some receivers and they sort of fight with the ball, it’s a struggle. Or you have some who always catch with their chest. I’m just natural. I lovethe ball. If you ever watch me play, I make love to the ball when it comes in.
Q: That’s you but how about a receiver that’s not as natural catching the ball?
Ochocinco: Yes, you have to work on it. You can’t be in the NFL and try to work on it now because it’s too late . . . I’m not trying to be funny guys. Come on now, seriously. When you get to this point this is not the point where you need to be coached. This is the point where you need to get better at your craft but you should already come in with a foundation already set. You should be ready to play. You can’t come into the NFL as a receiver, be in the NFL and then they have to teach you howto play receiver. Because you’re missing the boat, you’re going to miss the ship if you don’t know how to play receiver before you get here. You’re going to miss the ship already.
Q: How big of a boost has Benson been?
Ochocinco: Oh man, Ced is awesome man. Ced is awesome. There’s nothing else I can say. He’s playing awesome. He’s injured now but that will be gone and he’ll be back this week.
Q: What has been key to your turnaround?
Ochocinco: I don’t know man, I don’t know. Dude, watching the Raiders on (expletive) defense that front line is awesome, the corners are awesome. I can’t for the life of me understand how they are not winning. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. Because what I see on film, the record does not show. Because they look a lot better than their record shows so I’m not understanding what’s going on.
Q: Were you a Raiders fan in LA?
Ochocinco: No man. I’ve always been a Miami Dolphins fan since I was a baby. Nothing’s changed. I’m from Miami that’s all I know man.
Q: Thoughts on Russell?
Ochocinco: Man JaMarcus is extremely good. You have to remember a quarterback can only be as good as his supporting cast. Case closed. Always. It will always be that way. Always. You put a Tom Brady or a Peyton Manning, you take them out of their supporting casts, you take them out of the elements they’re in now, and you put them in JaMarcus’ situation do you think it would be that much better. I’m just asking. Realistically.
Q: Not when you have a different offensive coordinator every year, rookie receivers, I guess probably not.
Ochocinco: Thank you. Thank you. JaMarcus is a great quarterback but he can only be as good as his supporting cast. People have to remember that.
Thank you guys. Hello? Somebody tell Nnamdi. Don’t forget to relay this message. The message is, I love you but you’ve got to kiss the baby. All right guys. Tell Nnamdi I say hello to him. I haven’t talked to him for a long time so just gives him a heads up for me. All right. Thanks guys.
More to come later . . .

Yeah buddy!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:28 am
i hope we play mitchell just long enough to cheap shot this big mouthed fool
November 18th, 2009 at 10:29 am
only chad…
November 18th, 2009 at 10:29 am
They’ll have Chris Johnson cover him.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:30 am
I wish we did sign him in off season
November 18th, 2009 at 10:30 am
of course thet will, makes no sense!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:30 am
*they
November 18th, 2009 at 10:31 am
Why not put Nnamdi on best receiver! damnit!!!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:34 am
I’ll say this about Ocho, he backs all that b.s. up on the field.
Doesn’t say: “I’m doing fine out there.” crap like a soon to be benched q.b. is fond of saying.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Watched them against the Steelers’ on Sunday and they looked pretty good as a team.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Start Bush, start Schielins, start Gradkowski.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:38 am
We’ll put Routt on him!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:41 am
We should of pulled the trigger on a trade that would of sent Ocho to the nation last year.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:42 am
The main reasons the Bungholes are doing well, is their Defense is outstanding. And, Carson Palmer is healthy.
Palmer dosen’t throw up numbers like Manning, or Brees, all he does is give his team a chance to win. week in, and week out.
Benson has been a beast, also….
November 18th, 2009 at 10:47 am
Things to do……
back tomorrow,have a great Wednesday everyone.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Neilb….
I watched that game also, and what I learned from that is. We ain’t going to be able to run the ball on them, cause they stuff the run.
Which means ol’ Bruce, or Charlie must have a career day if we are going to have any chance with them…
November 18th, 2009 at 10:51 am
DMAC….
Or, T. Howard on him….
November 18th, 2009 at 10:55 am
I love Captain Kirk, but I think our defense would be so much better w/ a Greg Biekert type player stuffing the run. Let’s draft a stud MLB or find one in free agency and move Kirk back to SLB.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Cincy has Rey, he’s been doin pretty good for a rook…
November 18th, 2009 at 11:00 am
morrison sux. poor angle, cant make an open field tackle. yeah i know he leads the team in tackles, but when the other team run 100 plays a game someones stats are gonna look good. ive never seen a mlb miss so many tackles. morrison sux period
November 18th, 2009 at 11:01 am
I thought he was VERY polite and respectful
November 18th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Look at what Patrick Willis has done for the 49ers.
But then again, he’s a freak of nature.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:03 am
stay the course gentlemen. stay the course
November 18th, 2009 at 11:03 am
At this point in the season all I am looking for, as wins, is the individual matchups. I doubt he will be on Nnamdi’s side too much, mostly as a decoy or to block. The question is how Chris Johnson will hold up.
He has been getting beat more during the last 3 games, but with the defense being on the field that much because the O can’t do better than 3 and out, who can blame him?
November 18th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Who’s our MVP on the D this season?
I got to go w/ Tyvon Branch. He’s been pretty damn good.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Oocho loves the game, that’s the difference.
Some play for money, others play for glory and posterity.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:08 am
and he’s focused
November 18th, 2009 at 11:09 am
I can’t fk’n wait for the turkey bowl. I’m only 28, but every year I wake up the following day more, and more sore. Last year I could barely get out of bed the following day.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:10 am
But I love that schit!
November 18th, 2009 at 11:11 am
aint no one the mvp of this defense. you sink or swim as a group.they all suck. how many plays have we seen where not one of these guys gets a fingertip on an opposing ball carrier? numerous times. if i had to vote for defensive mvp its got to be hiram eugene. im mean are u serious. this guy is the best s we’ve ever had. makes every tackle, ALWAYS knows his assignments, never is out of position. yeah…. either that or he sux really bad. fuggin hi eugene. really? hiram eugene. where did they find this guy. pan handling on fishermans wharf?
November 18th, 2009 at 11:13 am
So I’m guessing Sam Williams is also one of your favorite players right?
November 18th, 2009 at 11:15 am
and if huff cant go this week, eugene starts. we playing dhb, murph, etc.. cuz they’re young and need the experience and all the other bs. but mike mitchell cant get on the field over hi eugene. he musta been the only one to see hanson use his jaw to try to cave in cable dick beaters. y is tommyboy so enamoured with this guy. he’s worse than debbie gibson. at least debbie could tackle. granted he’d be lost or late most every passing play, but so isnt out beloved hiram
November 18th, 2009 at 11:17 am
sam williams. nah i like rafer alston better. or is it jon alston? who the fug knows. skip to my lou. poor guy in new jersey with the winless nets
November 18th, 2009 at 11:19 am
You gotta luv Sammy Williams!
LMAO
November 18th, 2009 at 11:20 am
Is it just me, or are you guys tired of seeing Johnny Lee Scary trying to return punts? Holland is another guy. This is killing our field posstion. I’m tired of waiting for that kid Miller. Let’s find someone to return punts, kick returns. Give DHB of DMAC a try at returning kickoffs. Tyvon Branch was one of the elite return men at UCONN.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:24 am
dmac, u posted that already. i told u, ur right jlh sux. he’s a dumba$$. whats his avg per return -3.6? holland has made it beyond the 30 once.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:26 am
remember when williams was hyped. then he blew out a knee i think. id actually rather they give him a chance than alston. alson is punch drunk anyway. why keep risking a severe head injury. shut it down jonnyboy. shut it down. we are going nowhere.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:27 am
The team is screwed. Still blaming players and coaches?
Its Al Davis. Anyone blaming players and coaches without mentioning Davis’ key role in this is trying to protect the guy.
If Russell was on another team….he would be serviceable to better. A real organization would have a collective work ethic that would motivate new comers young and old.
In New England or Pittsburgh…the organization from coaches, owner all the way to the cleaning crew would be working hard.
The Raiders? THe absolute worst organization in any endeavor…sports or otherwise. No direction, laziness all along the line, sycophants in key positions and entire organization where EVERYONE is simply trying to cash a check that is bigger than they could get somewhere else.
DAvis is so incompetent it defies definition.
Blame Cable, Russell or the trainers if it makes you feel better.
But the stone cold truth is Davis has no clue what he is doing and that this team will continue to lose until Davis steps down.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Yeah, but I didn’t get anyone’s opinion.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Damn…that Al Davis dropped another 1st down…fuggin Davis
November 18th, 2009 at 11:31 am
So did you blame Al when we were successful w/ Chuckie? Sure Al hired CAble, but Cable is a bum. How many times have we been blown out this year? His team is never prepared each Sunday.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:31 am
NE Raider / DMAC,
Instead of blaming JLH for the return game….blame the incompetent Owner (Al Davis) for simply inserting the closest guy into the Special teams Coaching role.
When Schneider (a Kiffin hire) was here last year….the Raiders had one of the best special teams in the league. Now, with the same players….they are one of the worst in the league.
Al Davis does not know football. That’s why your special teams is garbage….along with the rest of the team
November 18th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Man that fuggin Al Davis didnt throw that ball anywhere near the reciever…fuggin Al Davis
November 18th, 2009 at 11:32 am
yeah, poor old al. just cant catch
November 18th, 2009 at 11:33 am
so its the coach who tells jlh to run backwards. i get it. sorry
November 18th, 2009 at 11:34 am
Gotta love Ocho cinco…You gotta take notice he’s respecting the D backs, and the D line, not much about the LBs though…
November 18th, 2009 at 11:34 am
and was it schneider who last year told justin miller to field a kick off going out of bounds at the 2 yrd line and promptly step out of bounds. thats right fielded ball at the 2 AND STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS
November 18th, 2009 at 11:34 am
Your wrong SNB
JLH isn’t the same player this year, beacuase of that hit he took week 1. Plays way too scarry now.

======================================================
Putting in and forcing a receiver that had NO BUSINESS being drafted in the 2nd round….oooops, I mean 1st round…on the field as a starter is why they keep dropping passes.
Who’s idea to start two f’n rookies?
Give me a break!
DHB runs that 40x….Davis reaches….criticism begins…then drops begin….stubborness settles in….team loses….everyone apologizes.
Same old B.S
November 18th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I should be hating Chad 85, but the truth is I really quite like the guy. And he’s bloody right about a few points like, the need to have a solid foundation as an NFL noob, something apparently sorely absent from some of our key players…
Problem is Cincy has a pretty solid defense this year. The Steelers are no schmocks when it comes to offense, but Cincy held them in check. Now comes the Raiders offense… it’s not looking pretty…
There is just no realistic chance that we gonna win this game. It would be a fluke, a statistical outlier or dumb luck, just like the Philly game was…
November 18th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I can’t blame Al for the 3 & outs, but I sure as hell can blame him for not calling Ron Wolf to come in and right the ship.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:38 am
whatever the players get paid 2 make plays.they been making plays all their life or they couldnt have got this far.The only thing Al Davis can do is draft and pay them…but the players gotta make plays.Hence the word “PLAYERS”
November 18th, 2009 at 11:39 am
who was it that told jlh to let a ball bouce 3 yrds behind him, and then roll another 15. i can see doing that inside the 10, but when you’re standing between 30 and 35 yrd line and u let the ball land behind u. c’mon. i agree al davis is mostly to blame, i really do, but do you think these guys r practicing running backwards on punt returns? coach or no coach anyone knows you got to fun the other way.(4ward). he had room to run on the one he lost or let drop. which ever it was, it was jlh fault. no one else

I blame Al Davis for losing Gruden on a stupid trade?
I blame Al Davis for drafting during the Gruden era:
1. Matt Stinchcomb
2. Tony Bryant
3. Derrick Gibson
4. Tui
5. Sebastian Janikowski (1st round?)
6. Philip BUchanon
7. Nap Harris
Then Davis proceeded to let Gruden go because Gruden had the AUDACITY to ask for the chance to pick his own coaching staff and determine the starting lineup.
Yup! I blame Al Davis 100%
November 18th, 2009 at 11:42 am
uhh that would be Al Davis of coures New Englandraider
November 18th, 2009 at 11:43 am
i bet al would avg more yrd per return than jlh. walker and all. he get us a yrd by falling 4ward. higgins loses yrds on 85% of his returns. anyone know jlh’s punt return avg? cant be any higher than 5 yrs. and thats being modest
November 18th, 2009 at 11:45 am
dude tony bryant was great. before he hurt his neck. and he came back and played for the saints and was productive. nap harris was also a solid lb. a lot better than kirk. y did we cut nap. we signed him in august and cut him 9 days later
November 18th, 2009 at 11:46 am
Yeah, Al fk’d up when he traded Gruden, but Gruden got the job done when it came down to coaching a team. He didn’t give a damn who Al drafted. They were successful.

=======================================================
No, Davis didn’t throw the ball.
But he (Davis) did draft a QB who showed up to the combine overweight?
He did create an environment where said QB could come in overweight to TRAINING CAMP and not get benched, suspended etc…
He did give the QB three playcallers, two headcoaches, no bonnafide receiving talent and a middling offensive line
He did fail to sign QB in time for camp and yet still ended up giving him big money
He also forces the coaches to continue to play the kid as he struggles
Incomplete pass….4th Down…And Davis’ handiwork keeps paying off
Passing Game? Yes, blame Al Davis!
November 18th, 2009 at 11:46 am
bryant went to high school with a friend of mine. marathon ( florida keys)
November 18th, 2009 at 11:48 am
4eva,
You make some good points about the player being “players”.
What’s your thoughts on the coaches being “coaches”? why do we have positions coaches and the likes?
November 18th, 2009 at 11:49 am
new englandraider Says:
November 18th, 2009 at 11:33 am
so its the coach who tells jlh to run backwards. i get it. sorry
======================================================
I don’t think the coach tells them anything. Why? Because the coach is unqualified!
Why is JLH running backwards? Do you think he wants to run backwards?
Or is it more likely that the lack of attention to detail is probably resulting in defenders getting clean shots at JLH..thus preventing him from running forward.
I ask what is more likely because JLH led the team in TDs and was becoming a semi-frequent visitor to the post game highlight reel.
Return game? Yes, blame Al Davis!

He isn’t the same player because the team around him has deteriorated. No fundamentals …..
November 18th, 2009 at 11:52 am
yeah i kinda do think he wants to run backwards cuz thats all he does. if you got no blocking, call for a fair catch. im not trying to argue with u SnB, but every return he is running sideways or backwards. id rather have a 4 yrd return or fair catch. not a return of minus 5

Sorry, but your very wrong. There was plenty of room for him to run, but instead he not only doesn’t catch the ball, but he let’s it roll forever.

Okay….then stop using him as a return guy! Get someone else in there to return punts.
If the kid is terrible…cut him and sign someone off the street.

those mistakes should not be made. mental errors. ur right he did return 2 for td’s. there is no excuse for fielding a kickoff while toe tapping to get two feet in bounds at the 2 yrd line. should’ve had the ball @ the 40

dmac pay the fug attention, i said he looked as tho he HAD room to run on the ball he let bounce and roll. he musta figured if i catch it we’ll lose yrds and i’ll get hit. may as well not get hit and lose the yrd anyway

Jhill position coaches are there 2 refine the skills they already have at their respective positions.Also the nfl has 15 year veterns that know how to do things that took them 15 year in a game enviornment 2 learn.So you got a rookie coming in and its just not possible 4 him to know what a 15 year vet knows.Sooo you have a position coach to try and show him what 2 expect.Its like you wanna be a lawyer but in order 2 enter law school you ALREADY have 2 have prior schooling

Great read. Of course he is licking his chops. There are 32 teams in the league, and only Oakland tries to play man. Any receiver would love that, and they all do. It’s not complicated. I also love his point about learning to catch the ball once you get to the NFL. I mean, really?! If a dude can’t catch in college and you draft him, you’re an idiot.

No one wants him or his contract. He’s untradeable.
