Leigh Bodden

If this was last year's office. He would be back in a heartbeat (at a good price). Sadly, he has no one vouching for him here anymore. I still think he can play. He'd be a nice plug that would could let slide come draft time. Since we do have holes at OL, RB, LB, WR, and DL

Keep in mind Kokinis is from within the AFC North...so his teams have played Bodden 6x in the past 4yrs...and also keep in mind he was in charge of FA's ...so it was his job to keep tabs on guys like Bodden as they approached FA. He may have more info on him than we give him credit for.

OUCH!!!
Bodden says release decision was mutual
Leigh Bodden - DB - DET - Feb. 6 - 9:07 am et
Leigh Bodden says his forthcoming release was a "mutual decision" between him and the Lions.
"It was just a mutual decision," he said. "From the beginning when I was in Detroit, it just didn't seem like it fit and I think everybody around there knew it." It's never a good fit when you're on the worst team in NFL history. Feb. 6 - 9:07 am et
Again...I see Bodden's struggles in Detroit as a case of square peg in round hole.
-
We have three good one? Who is our third?
I like Wright and McDonald but wonder if Bmac is better suited in the slot.
WPB - Good call. If he is worth a look I'm sure they have seen him enough to know if he is worth it.

Is this really a thread about signing a slot CB that is about to get cut from a 0-16 team?We have three good corners ... so unless someone has a great one ... you can always find a fourth guy.
Zombo
Besides..who exactly is our #3?
Holley? He is coming off an injury and is a FA.
Adams? He is a safety and is a FA
Cousins? Really?
Who is this mythical depth we have?
-
Having our backup S Adams have to play the slot last year was a problem. I think he did an admirable job but he shouldn't be our best option haha. Depending on Holly...we may be looking to get a solid 3rd and 4th CB
That won't come too easily.

It is a big leap to assume Holly will be fully recovered from his injury and play at the same level he did before the injury.

Let's not forget Bodden matched up with the other team's best game in and game out and alsoo played the slot when hurt. Bodden is a player, certainly more than just a 4th corner. This guy had six picks his last year here and had his hands on a few others.
He was also acquitted of the airport bullshit.

Alright you guys have talked me down from Holly.I still don't even sniff Bodden until after the draft and you see what you have with Holly (possibley) and Lawson.
If he's still hanging around in Training camp and we need a corner ... then OK. I just don't see him as a free agent signing by this club at all.
Zombo
I don't thiny anyone will be signing Bodden until after the draft. The question on Holly is when he can go through a full physical to evaluate him, and if CLE can even sign him if he is healthy.
I don't want to see CLE waiting until camp to get 3rd corner. That is far to late. You want and need those guys at OTA's before full camp.
I'd gladly take Bodden back, at a reasonable price.

Throw in Bodden was the only one to get the check mark from Ocho-Cinco on who was able to cover him.
-
In '07 he had 6 INTs and 15 PDef.
Those are very good numbers. When Chad Johnson pumped him up for shutting him down...I think we all assumed he was now elite. While he was playing solid football he was never elite. Better than Holly? Absolutely.
Having a guy above six foot would be nice.
-
with our Personnel it would make sense to play the Cover 3 and bring the SS in on run support or to blitz
-
Now that I got through this thread.......I am still bewildered by all the aclaim of a secondary that in my estimation is ordinary at every position at BEST...........let me say that again ORDINARY! Our secondary scares NO ONE............notta
And if the front seven didn't suck so bad the secondary would have been exposed even more
Bodden can play.............DONE
-
How would a better front seven expose the secondary? If anything it would cover up a poor secondary. Remember 2001, with Jamir Miller wreaking havoc on the QB, we led the AFC in inerceptions. Rookie Anthony Henry had 10!
The secondary has some real talent back there, Wright is a good corner. McDonald is okay, and getting better. Pool is finally growing into the FS spot. Sean Jones is average, but has shown some flashes with 14 interceptions the past 3 years.
What we really need to improve is front seven help. Namely the pass rush.

because the opponent would have to throw the ball downfield instead of running right through us and dinking us to death..................front seven sucks ........NO NEED TO PASS much........which is what happened..........football 101..........if you stink upfront no need to take advantage of the secondary ......just ram it down the throat which is essentially what happened all year
and when that did not work well they hammered the secondary as needed
-
sign him to a one or two incentive ladden deal one that allows him to prove that he is as good as he thinks he is , and one that makes him prove he is not as injury prone as he was before. one that is not to expensive unless he earns that extra pay.
don't overpay him but don't disrespect him either.
