Bodden to injured reserve
Contrary to public opinion, the New England Patriots aren’t very good on the defensive side of the ball. Lately, they’ve been weak in the secondary and don’t have a great pass rush. Now, things have gotten worse.
The Patriots have sent their top cornerback Leigh Bodden to injured reserve. That’s huge. He has a torn rotator cuff and won’t be able to play this year. That’s a killer for the Patriots.
It wouldn’t be that big of a deal if they had someone who could rush the passer. For christ’s sake, the New York Giants won the Super Bowl in 2007 with a lousy secondary, but, their front four was so filthy that it didn’t matter. The Patriots don’t have that luxury.
Bodden was signed to a four-year, $22 million contract this offseason, so this can’t be thrilling for New England. It looks like will thrust Devin McCourty into the starting lineup. They better hope he can play.
How is the arm feeling, Tom? You’re going to need it.
