Ocho Cinco kicks extra point
Chad Ocho Cinco, or the wide out formerly known as Chad Johnson, helped his Cincinnati Bengals win their second 2009 pre-season game last night in a very unusual way. Chad, who is a premier NFL wide out, lined up as a place kicker and booted through a extra point attempt that allowed his Bengals to win the game by one over the New England Patriots.
One may be wondering why the Bengals were forced to use Chad in this way? Well apparently Bengals place kicker, Shayne Graham tweaked his groin in pre game warm ups. Why the Bengals would risk their star wide out like this is yet another question that needs to be answered.
Beyond QB Carson Palmer Chad is the most important Bengal. In order to have a hope of a successful season the Bengals need him on the field producing at the wide out position. While seeing Chad have fun kicking an extra point, and later a kick off, he could have seriously injured himself doing so. Over the years NFL fans have seen kickers injure themselves in freak ways, why would the Bengals risk one of their best players to score one meaningless pre-season point?
The Bengals failed to have a reserve kicker on their 80 man roster that wold allow the team to not risk their star players. That may be due to the fact that the Bengals are one of five NFL teams that do not employ a General Manager, or it may be due to the fact that the Bengals are one of the lowliest NFL organizations out there. they join the Detroit Lions and the Oakland Raiders as the teams that have for a long while been mismanaged.
