Chambers Done?

[Shaka]

I heard that in addition to being in trouble with Bronco he had some pending HC issues that had the potential to hang him up. Take this with a grain of salt.

[Maximus]

So? There are all sorts of teams that play lousy schedules that didn't have anywhere near the same offensive output as BYU over that span of time.

With 5 NFL offensive players?

You should ask Jeff Lebowski, nikuman, happyone, Tim or myboynoah about Japanese sayings. They all have significant experience in Japan and would probably be able to answer your Japanese idiom questions better than Sizzle.

Here's OC's side of the story:

This week’s incident, Chambers said, stemmed from a prank. He said he jokingly packed up items from Jake Heaps locker and delivered them to coaches and told them Heaps “wasn’t putting the team first because he [Jake] wasn’t thinking of the team first.”

He should be suspended because of his terrible idea for a prank.

Geez I hope there is more to it than that.

Edit: I would be glad for OC that there was not more problems and sorry that BYU could come off looking (justifiably) thin skinned. But I am going to guess that there will be another side to the story.

I hope it ends up being a kid with a huge ego and a coach who was tired of babysitting him. No villains here is my wish.

So OC confirms the locker incident. I think quite clearly it wasn't a prank, he just didn't know how else to CHA.

* I've been told that it was offensive coordinator Robert Anae's call to boot O'Neill Chambers off the team, and that Mendenhall merely supported the decision.
While the "prank" that Chambers pulled on freshman QB Jake Heaps was part of the reason Chambers is gone, and perhaps the final straw, it was "his overall negative attitude around other players" that played a big role in his ouster.

I will quickly start a "ReHire Anae" thread now.

Chambers said he and Heaps are friendly toward each other and the locker incident was merely a joke. “Me and him are cool,” Chambers said of Heaps. “We don’t have any issues. They [the coaches] made it seem like I was hurting him.”

Chambers also said coaches blamed him for being the root of the problem even though Chambers believes the problem lies elsewhere.

“It’s bigger than me,” he said. “I don’t wish anything bad towards the team. I wish they would figure out the real problem.” Chambers said he believes the real problem behind the team’s recent woes, and especially Heaps’ struggles, are coaching deficiencies.

“The coaches were making it harder for him, and were hindering Jake’s progress,” he said.

I don't get what part of this he views as a joke.

He's a nutcase. I just thought it interesting that he blames the coaches for Heaps' development. Or lack thereof.

Since Chambers was suspended the first time and I read his comments about it, I've been thinking that he is Chad Ochocinco Lite. He has all the attitude, some of the creative genius, but nowhere near the ability to produce.

[statman]

OC is a vampire. Set to drain.

In spite of his rage he's still just a rat in a cage...
