Pats release Leigh Bodden

[dburgwin]

Remember, this is after the bye and the teams self analysis of the first 6 games. They must have decided Bodden did not offer the value/play required at this point.

What a stupid move. Right before the pitt game with those speedy receivers...wow just when the D starts to get better..more cuts...


Who needs a secondary?


Downling will play one more game this year..tweak something and is out for the year

Someone on the radio said they released him on a Friday so the Steelers couldnt make an attempt to get him.

FWIW, here were the defensive secondary snaps from the Cowboys game:

CB Devin McCourty – 74 of 74
S Patrick Chung – 73 of 74
S James Ihedigbo – 73 of 74
CB Kyle Arrington – 69 of 74
CB Leigh Bodden – 38 of 74
CB Antwaun Molden – 6 of 74
S Rob Gronkowski – 1 of 74
S Ross Ventrone – 1 of 74

So what is the prediction of who replaces Bodden for those 38 snaps on Sunday? Dowling? Molden? Both?

Probably Molden initially. Then Dowling as/if he gets healthy.

Molden must have shown quite a bit in those 6 snaps...

Not sure if this was a typo but this is great seeing that he is always down!

Grong. He did so well on that one play they are moving him to db.

Do you keep a broken car for back up in case your primary vehicle breaks down?

Do I keep a rattling beater as my second car...if the taxes, registration and insurance are already paid for and my other commute alternative is a skateboard? You betcha!

Well, this does make the signing another in a series of bad ones. Let the back-and-forth bloodletting truly begin!

Per Tom Curran:

"Corner Antwaun Molden's jaw dropped when I told him of Leigh Bodden's release."


Hopefully Molden is mentally prepared come Sunday, especially if Dowling is not yet ready to go.

Not so sure it was a bad signing, his injuries derailed him..

The difference between Bill Belichick and 99% of this forum is that this forum falls in love with names, Belichick falls in love with talent.

Belichick falls in love with TALENT????

Obviously, you don't know squat about William Belichick.

That statement proves it.

BB wants football players. People like you want Terrell Owens and Mike Vick.

What the cat drags into this website every 10 days before whenever the Pats play the Steelers!

4 years, 20+ million, with a lot of that money gone.




Bad signing.....

I would have much rather seen an eye bulging reaction but this will have to do.

 

[RayClay]

It is all so confusing

Good for morale!

Please tell me where I cited Terrell Owens and Mike Vick? Thank you for putting words in my mouth.

Congrats, you have tenure on a Football forum but you're just like those Teachers who have taught for 25 years and are worse than the young pup right out of college.

I agree. When a player misses a year because of an injury, that is different than say signing a Donald Hayes who just was a complete bust signing. The initial signing of Bodden in 2008 was a great signing. He lived up to his contract and then some that year. Giving him a new contract in 2009 was a fail because of his injury and his inability to return to his 2008 form since.

Any truth to the rumor that they also cut McCourty and Ras I-Dowling?
