Default WTF was Chung doing?

WTF could he be thinking out there? What could possibly be the explanation for this:

Ballard Catch - YouTube

I don't think I've ever been so disgusted by a play since Tyree's catch.

Huh? He was going for the INT. They went over this during the game on replay.

Either that, or he can go for the hit and we can tack of 15 yards for hitting a defenseless receiver......

Hey, how about this for most disgusting play?

He didn't just make contact, but went and tackled him while the ball was still in the air.

He had help. So he didn't have to worry about getting burned. So he went for the int. I don't have a problem with it.

With all honesty, when I first saw the replay of this during the game, I was disappointed that he didn't attack the football.

Never a fan of seeing a player waiting for an overthrow.

If he goes after the ball its an INT or an incomplete pass.

I'm generally a pretty positive fan, but I'd like to see more out of Patrick Chung. I think our biggest problem on defense is a serious lack of play makers on all levels of the defense. They need to be more aggresive going after the football.

i know people wanted to criticize Tracy White for his play, but he was right on the tight end there and forced Eli to make a perfect throw. That seems to be solely on the Chung.

He was playing pass defense the same way he always does; unfortunately he doesn't seem to be very good at it.

I don't get 1/2 of the Patrick Chung hype, besides being a hard hitter.

Imagine the state of the board if that had been Meriweather instead of Chung.

Our Safeties are terrible in coverage. It's not like these plays were unexpected.

For the record he hurt his foot on the play that directly proceeded this.

i was surprised there was actually a patriots safety even remotely close enough to feign make a play on the ball during that ballard catch.
