Belichick thinks he has his hidden gem…
Hasn’t used Ochocinco much all season, so there is not much game tape on his route running.
The only thing is, CO is going to try too hard to make up for what he didn’t accomplish during the year and drop passes and do nothing but annoy Tom Brady.

Counting on Ocho to have a big game? Man, Pats fans are hoping for anything, huh? That’s like me saying” watch out for Bear Pascoe, he’s gonna have 10 catches 208 yds and 4 tds!”

bcgreg:
I’m either not following or you have an odd definition of the word “semantics”.

The title of the article says they “RELEASED” him.

That is NOT the same as simply “inactive”

Released means he was RELEASED from the Roster. Which means, technically he becomes a free agent. Not on the team. Not employed. Not a Patriot.

He’s NOT on the team if he’s “released” from the team.

Unless just yesterday someone came up with a new definition of the word “released”…

This game will go like every other game Ocho stinko has played with the patriots. He’ll go out there, run the wrong routes and drop the ball.

The guy got canned the eve of the SuperBowl. Imagine getting canned from your job the eve before the biggest event of your career.

Let’s hope Oucho Stinko is inactive for the game ’cause if he is the Patriots will loose.

As for the guy that got cut; it’s heartbreaking. Imagine finding out that the coaching staff thinks you’re less useful than Lousy Stinko on the eve of the SuperBowl! That’s like finding out your GF was been with everyone on the team last night ‘cept you!

Needed a replacement for Gronkowski on special teams.

Smart move, gives giants no prep time for silvestro.

God, some of you guys out here are so damn emotional. This is the NFL…Underwood knows the score. Moves made to better team, no matter how minute. No room for bruised feelings.

That’s a pretty cold move, even for Belicheat and the
Patsys to do. To wait that long and let this guy get
his hopes up then to dash them like this is a new low.

I guess they grew tired of pulling the wings off of flies
and decided to do something else that’s more cruel…

I feel for the guy but hey.. being in a position to be cut from a team the day before the superbowl still is > my real job

he clearly gets a ring as would practice squad players and a lot of staff. Seems related to spec teams and Gronk as others have said. They have rotated the 53 rd man all year based on need, injuries and matchup. Most likely there is a legit reason that we can only speculate on. Timing is awful for him but what a gift for the Sylvestro. Remember a player got called up here as well.

Giants will sign him the morning of the super bowl and he will play the part of david tyree. Yes, not likely, but would make for a story.

I’m sure it was the flamboyant hair cut. For someone that was cut 2 or three times this season by the Pats, why get a haircut like that?

By: jpak12

First off ppl he will get a ring, not being on the game day roster doesn’t determine who gets a ring, the team decides who gets a ring.

Second they felt they needed another defensive lineman, that meant someone had to go, what were they supposed to do? Hurt their chances to win just to be nice?

Third, for the whole he should be on the phone with the Giants, that is illegal, besides how much you want to bet that he is on the Pats sideline for the game?

The winning SB team receives 150 rings from the NFL to be handed out as they see fit. Any amount over 150 the team pays for themselves.
As far as Underwood being released, yes it’s tuff but it’s business. Life is all about getting back up and dusting yourself off after falling down and enduring a setback. BB made a decision as HC that in his expert and professional opinion would give the Pats a better chance to win. That’s all, don’t make more out of it than that.

QUESTION: Did he have to be released? Does this mean he still gets a ring? Thank you to the intelligent sports folks who are making this clearer.

If the quantum physics theory of thought is true, the PATS lost the game tomorrow TODAY when they released Underwood THE DAY before the Super Bowl. I hope that Underwood’s gracious and magnanimous character will carry him, as well as our prayers and well wishes.

What is the problem here? Underwood still gets a pay check, and he knew going in that there was a distinct possibility that this was going to happen.
There are people out there that have a lot worse problems than Tiquan has.

Why not two weeks ago???
Because if they released him two weeks ago, giants would have created a ‘coaching’ spot for him, just like bellichik (sp?) did with mcdaniels.. Can’t help but feel bad for the guy

Must of been the fact that this is the super bowl week, Ocho suddenly found more concentration in the playbook and showed more understanding of the gameplan THIS week more than Underwood. Seeing that Gronkowski will be a 50/50 option of helping the team out, that 3rd WR might play a bigger role than expected. I saw this move being Ocho FINALLY showing just a little more than Underwood for the 3rd WR spot. And that’s not saying much as I don’t envision him doing anything more but to be there in case Gornk is a liability.

Gronk’s injury forced the pats to take him out of his special teams role so silvestro swings in to replace him and help a d line that will see heavy rotation tomorrow. Sucks for underwood and his awesome kid and play hair cut though; bet he got tix for his family from the team and was in the team photo as it happened yesterday.
As for Ocho I bet he gets cut before next year and they use that $6 mil on welker extension and possibly Brandon lloyd. If u really wanna dream big Reggie Wayne, but he will command a much higher price and more suitors.
Underwood gets a ring, comes back next year as Ocho leaves. Mcdaniels snags Lloyd as pats host ravens on the Thursday night opener of 2012.
