Broken Glass: Dowling to IR

[Deus Irae]

The Patriots just placed rookie CB Ras-I Dowling on Injured Reserve with a hip injury, leaving the team with two fewer defensive backs than they had two days ago. In addition, they activated DE Brandon Deaderick and RB Kevin Faulk off the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Now the Bodden move makes sense...

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I can only laugh at this point. No use getting upset.

Maybe both firsts next year will be used on CB lol

Deaderick is being converted to CB

I know there will be Ras I Glass defenders, but as someone mentioned earlier, its so frustrating to watch Belichick constantly waste good picks on defensive backs that can't stay healthy or are soon cut. And with Dowling its not a freak injury, there was an injury history there to read. Then there are of course Butler, Wheatley, Wilhite and Meriweather.

Don't forget:, "with Dowling healthy it'll be like getting an extra first-round pick" next year.

In Bill we trust?

In Bill we trust?

Is he playing on the outside, or in the slot?

I don't understand the Bodden move (especially after seeing this news)??? If Bodden isn't picked up on waivers I believe we're still on the hook for the remaining $2Million on his contract this year. If he is picked up then we save some money, but we're already under the cap. Even if Bill felt the difference between Bodden and Moulden was minimal, isn't it possible that the small difference could mean a playoff victory versus a loss?

Just venting really. I know BB knows what he's doing, but I just don't get what's going on here? UGH

This defense just took a major blow with bodden being cut n this glass man done for the season. No way they make a serious run with a bunch of scrubs playing back there, mark my words.

Agreed. Very frustrating. Let's hope that he's 100% healthy next year.

 

[condon84]

Yeah, this was surprising.

 

[Sivy]

I bet Welker could play CB...no really, I bet he could.

No Problem

Just use a new formation called the 2-2-7 and we will be fine

Agreed that the Bodden move is a curious one. That said, I'm rewatching the Dallas game and Bodden doesn't seem very into the game. Maybe I'm reading into it, but the effort and enthusiasm doesn't appear to be present.
