BostonHerald.com - Blogs: Rap Sheet Blog Archive While his team’s been winning, what has Patriots CB Leigh Bodden been doing?


Sounds like he is progressing slowly but surely, cant wait to see him and Warren back with the team next season. The boys need to hold it down until they get back. GO PATS!

In a way, the secondary going into next season is better now that Bodden was lost for the season. Don't get me wrong, it sucks that he was out for the year and we definitely could have used him at the beginning of the season. But, without him being hurt, guys who have been pressed into action out of necessity would have not seen the field. Arrington has improved by leaps and bounds in this system, for one. As has McCourty, being that he's had to see extended playing time from Week 1 partly due to Bodden's injury. In all, the secondary is that much better going into next season with Bodden coming back healthy. Hopefully, he can maintain that health.

I am 100% truthful in saying that with the expected maturation of young players, the return of Ty & Leigh, and anticipated hitting on even just a couple of the top 6 draft picks that I expect the Patriots will be BETTER next year, barring injuries that are worse even than those suffered this year.

Yes, this is a great time to be a Pats fan.

Let's just hope there's a football season to enjoy...

Lets hope that Big Vince stays healthy...he anchors the DL....

Leigh being back healthy will be a big boost also. Can Ty return to 100% after surgery is a big question....

Hope to see him back at full strength and skill next year. While I'm sure he's pleased with how the Pats are doing, it has to be killing him inside to not be a part of this run.

“On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson..they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

Bodden is one of the Twitter heavyweights so anyone that is interested to find out more about him should access his tweeting history.

I am surprised he is signed a 4 yrs $22M contract. It seems like with everyone else basically on rookie contracts back there, it is doable I suppose. After all, he was by far the best defensive back in 2009.

It will be nice to see Bodden and McCourty as the starting set with Arrington in there on the slot guy. This may allow Chung to get back to being a full time safety as opposed to being used in as much coverage which is not exactly his forte. I guess this should help reveal BB's opinion on Brandon since it'll force his hand to take away snaps from Sanders or Chung or Meriweather.

Butler slides to 4th? And with all the picks you got to assume there will be at least one rookie in the fold. I hope Wilhite kept the phone number of his former draft buddy who plays the same position and was recently cut, because he'll need some advice.

The Patriots have traded the []th selection in the Draft for an undisclosed selection in the 2012 Draft. . . .

yea good point. i was wondering today if you thought BB could trade Carolina back their pick for next year's first. I would have to assume Carolina 2012 will be top 5.

I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling that Bodden has played his last game as a Patriot... No clue why
