I think if you gave Daboll Peyton Manning and a bunch of Hall of Fame Receivers and backed it up with Adrian Peterson at running back, this offense still wouldn’t make it out of the bottom 10 teams. I’ve released my anger toward Daboll’s incompetence. It’s not his fault he was promoted to a position his resume clearly shows he didn’t earn or deserve. That fault lies squarely on the shoulders of Mangini. Mangini took an organization in need of rebuilding and made it worse. Instead of laying a foundation, Mangini nuked what little was left of it. As a coach, he has failed to develop two quarterbacks, an offensive coordinator, several offensive lineman, killed the career of a potential Hall of Fame running back and probably set the organization back another three years. Mangini’s coaching style now can be criticized as being obstinate, not open to any ideas that don’t come from himself and paranoid to the point of paralysis. It’s become clear that Mangini does not tolerate any challenges to his authority, benign or otherwise. When former general manager George Kokinis tried to assert his authority, per his contract, Mangini squashed him. When he needed an offensive coordinator, he hired someone who wouldn’t challenge his ideas and would do exactly what was being fed down the pipeline because there would be no other option available. It’s not like Daboll is some offensive coordinator prodigy waiting to become the next Lindy Infante. After losing to Detroit, Mangini tried throwing Lion’s head coach Jim Shwartz under the bus.

With the mounting injuries and pressure to show any kind of progress, the question to ponder today is who’s next to fall victim to Mangini’s campaign to deflect blame Whoever gets blamed, the final score probably won't be pretty; Chargers 45, Browns 7.. Oh boy. If NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell thought Chad Ochocinco's name changing days were over, he has another thing coming.Ochocinco announced on his live USTREAM broadcast Sunday morning that he will be legally changing his last name to "Hachi Go" next season."Hachi Go" is Japanese for 8 - 5.While cooking breakfast, only six hours before his Cincinnati Bengals took on the Detroit Lions, he held up a custom made Cincinnati Bengals jersey with "Hachi Go" on the back."I'm not sure how Mr. Goodell is going to take it," Ochocinco said as he held up the jersey.But why "Hachi Go"A Japanese film crew was in town a couple weeks ago to do a piece on the Bengals for a NFL show over there. They said all NFL fans in Japan know who Chad Ocho Cinco is and they seriously made a proposal to Chad to change his last name to "Hachi Go"."Some fans of mine that are Japanese said I should change my last name to 'Hachi Go'."He legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ochocinco on August 29, 2008. The Cincinnati Bengals decided to allow him to have it on the back of his jersey, though Ochocinco continued to wear his old "C.

Johnson" jersey during the 2008 football season, due to contractual obligations with Reebok. He has played with "Ochocinco" on the back of his jersey since the 2009 preseason. Of course, I am completely kidding! Although Slice looked like an experienced veteran on the ground with Houston Alexander, he is by far and away the worst ground technician in the UFC.I didn't write this to criticize Kimbo, nor did I write it to be the first to say that Kimbo's next opponent, whomever that may be, should be on the lookout for the vaunted Kimboplata.I have to say, I was impressed with some of his takedowns. There was one in particular thatoccurred in the second round, where he damn near knocked the last breath out of Alexander.I, like many of you, was completely and utterly confused by Alexander's game plan. At first, I thought "The Assassin," was looking to get Kimbo to blow his wad, and then pounce on him for the kill.That never happened, as Kimbo grew tired, Alexander seemed just as exhausted, if not more.Both men took some heavy shots, with Kimbo doing more damage, and when Kimbo seemed hurt or dazed, he fought smart, he took the fight to the ground.I was surprised at Kimbo's lack of killer instinct while he was in a dominant position.My guess is that he was just so tired, that he could not fire off the necessary shots required to put Alexander away, no matter how much he was ripe for the taking.Not to make excuses for Slice, but he was coming off of the first weight cut of his career, possibly his life.At this point, it might be safe to assume that Alexander will be heading back to fight in the Adrenaline organization.He looked tentative, and he gave Slice way too much respect, especially in the opening moments of the bout.As far as Slice is concerned, he will need to be matched up with fighters similar to Alexander.Even with his new found ground techniques, he is still a neophyte once the fight hits the canvas.The biggest question is if he can make the added cut and compete as a light heavyweight.If so, maybe a matchup with Brian Stann, who was also victorious on last night's card.He is a fighter who likes to bang, and has a very limited ground game.If he decides the cut is too much, and stays as a heavyweight, there aren't too many fighters in the UFC that he matches up all that well with.Two guys that came to mind are Antoni Hardonk, and Cheick Kongo.Both men are solid, overallkick-boxers who possess little to no ground game.Kongo is considered one of the best strikers in the UFC, and more than likely would pick Slice apart with leg kicks, before knocking him out cold.Hardonk would more or less follow the same game plan.Alexander would have been more successful had he had more behind his leg kicks as he was able to use them whenever he chose.So now we will wait and see what's next for Mr. Kevin Ferguson.For now, he can bask in the glory and the relief, that he was victorious in his official UFC debut..
