Now, before anyone jumps on me--yes, I am well aware that we do not ever change the LCB/RCB positioning, but I did notice McCourty at RCB yesterday.
McCourty was indeed lined up on the right side of the field at one point (Bodden's usual spot), and is obviously normally a LCB.
I am not sure if it has anything to do with Bodden's rumored benching of a series (or several plays), or whatever---but I definitely noticed it. I am guessing that it was not meant to be specific coverage based scheming, unless for some reason the addition of Dowling into the mix has changed anything up?
Strangely enough, both Bodden and McCourty have normally been referred to as specific LCB (DMcC) and RCB (Bodden) positions for all of last yr as profootballreference.com. They have them listed there for all of last yr, while BOTH are no longer assigned specific positions for 2011. They are just listed as the standard "CB." Not that I am saying that is the tell-all sign, but I do find it interesting nonetheless.
The only reason I bring up the PFR.com aspect, is because I initally noticed it yesterday during the game, so I decided to look it up. When I found that, it became ever weirder to me. My question is, for those of you who have watching a DVR replay, do you see anything to confirm this? I believe that it was in the 2nd half at some point, but due to the adrenaline and the energy of the game, I really did not give it my full attn.

(You'll find the same exact scenario for DMcC if you enter his name in the top of the page at the right side. Both are no longer listed as having specific right/left positioning for 2011, and as you can see there have been yrs where Bodden was not assigned a R/L--although they were some time ago.)
There's always the possibility that I am either delusional or simply hallucinating, which would not be a first-time issue....
