The leaders on the team should be insulted by Bruschi trying to do their job (as in regards to Ocho). If something needs to be done with an out-of-line teammate they handle it in the locker-room just like he did when he was playing.
Because Brady would throw a current player under the bus? C'mon.
It is clear that Ocho isn't really getting it on offense. Maybe he will in time....maybe he won't, but if he doesn't, I'm wondering if he's going to be okay (over the long-haul) at being an afterthought at reciever. Branch is #1, Welker #2 and the Tight Ends are amazing.

Come on folks. Help out...Tedy can't do it all by himself
Obviously that's Baloney.
Gregg Easterbruschi was only getting ratings for his bosses. Then, before the game, he suggests that if Ocho has a better game and it would be due in part to his "call out".
If Tedy wants to be consistent about the tweeting and not just picking on the guy who can give him and his ENTERTAINMENT network ratings, he'll call out Bodden (who tweets multiple times more per day than Ocho has since coming to the Pats). Hell, Bodden even tweeted that he was stepping AWAY FROM CHARGER FILM to watch the BB documentary on TV and said that coach (or "homie") wouldn't be happy about that.
But that won't happen, because Bodden does not have the "it" factor for ESPN's ratings.
....about what goes on within this Patriot team.
Or to translate..."Tedy, shut the f&#@ up."
Love TB's loyalty to his actual teammates.
So serious. Just curious. Do you follow all the players' social media?
I too love Tom's loyalty, although I also accept it for what it is. Tedy may or may not have a clue about a specific situation. Others aren't quite as loyal as Tom. But Tedy has certainly seen his share of situations within that locker room. And as a commentator he has both a job to do and a right to express his opinion. That is largely what former players are hired by the media to do...provide insight based on their experience.

With the exception of Tom many of the leaders on this team will be persuing opportunities in the media when their career's are over. So they aren't remotely as upset with Tedy as some here are or presume they must be...
Either way, Bruschi is NOT a current player on this team and frankly, its none of his business how receivers are doing. Thats BB's issue and the offense.
I have stayed out of this because i thought all the attention to it by the media was crap but the truth in my opinion is that Bruschi was right, not in that Ochocinco wasn't working hard enough because he can't know that, however he was right that the Patriots don't look at their games and come out talking about "how great we are," they look at what they could have done better and how to improve from there on out, and that to me was Bruschi's real point. Ochocinco's "we're awesome, like a video game" was something a Bengal would say and not the take of someone who understands that you don't rest on last week's performance. Ochocinco needs to understand that last week means nothing going forward and when he gets that he will understand how things are done in NE.
