Chad Ochocinco.... the kicker?

We all know about Chad Ochocinco and how he wants to constantly challenge other people (or other animals) in what they do. His list includes him racing a horse, challenging Michael Phelps to a swim race and wanting to take up boxing. But who would've guessed Ochocinco to be a kicker. Well, in last night's preseason matchup against the New England Patriots he did just that. With kicker Shayne Graham sitting out due to a tender groin, Chad Ochocinco accepted the challenge. After the Bengals scored their first touchdown in the second quarter, Ochocinco came out and not only attempted, but successfully kicked the extra point. He looked like a regular kicker. He then kicked the kickoff which made it to about the 10 or 15 yard line.

Is Chad the Bengals' new backup kicker? When Coach Lewis was asked about it after the game he just said "Chad is crazy."

Chad Ochocinco is crazy and known to talk a lot of smack, but most of the time is able to back up what he says (except for last year's disappointing season). Besides his kicking skills last night, Ochocinco also had some nice catches. I think Ochocinco will be back to his normal self this season and will emerge in the top 10 receivers again this year. That is my prediction. Chad Ochocinco will be in the top 10 wide receivers this year. Chris Henry will also have a breakout year to make the Bengals offense even more deadly.

What do you think? Is Chad all talk or can he back it up? Will he help the Bengals succeed this season or will it be another disappointing season? Let me know! Who Dey! Peace!
