I don't care if Ochocinco runs the wrong routes. Don't throw him the ball. Just have him be a decoy, but don't let Edelman out there. Every time the ball is thrown to Edelman, it's bad news. It seems like 50% of the time, it's either intercepted or very close to being intercepted.
I can understand using Edelman on a running play or very short screen pass, but this guy is not a receiver. And worse, for some reason Brady mistakenly trusts him. I don't have the breakdown, but I'm guessing that when Brady targets Edelman, his passer rating must be close to 20.
Yesterday, Brady throws the ball to Edelman against double coverage, including their best corner! Why!!! The fact that he even drew double coverage with two solid defenders was the victory on that play.
Just run Ochocinco out there on deep plays over the top and use him as a decoy. Obviously Tom doesn't trust him, but we can plainly see that Chad is a better option over Edelman. Chad is a wide receiver. If he can't play the position, he should have been cut long ago. We badly need a veteran presence at that third WR position, even if he can only expect 1-2 targets a game. Chad could also be effective on screen passes.
You guys can flame me all you want about claiming to understand the offense better than Brady/BB. I realize I don't, but I used to want Maroney replaced by BJGE and thought Watson was a brick holding back the offense. I think sometimes the guys develop friendships; Edelman is probably better in practice than he is in the games.
