Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has just nine catches in his first six games with the team. With New England on a bye this week, the team has issued public support for Ochocinco and his role with the offense. "Ocho's progressing every week," coordinator Bill O'Brien said. "He's done a really good job in practice and when he's been in certain parts of games, he's produced, two-minute drives at the end of halves and things. "And we're happy with where Ocho is right now." Since being traded by Cincinnati on July 28, Ochocinco has struggled with the complex playbook, much more complicated than the ones he had for 10 years with the Bengals.
