I recall Bodden looking good enough to merit a decent contract before. Haven't watched him this season though.

He was in the 2nd year of a 4-year, $22 mil contract. The Pats switched from mostly zone coverage to a lot of man-to-man press coverage, especially earlier in the season (they've started going back to more zone in the last few games) which wasn't really their secondary's forte. I think Bodden will pass through waivers and wind up going to a contender. I could see the Saints or Cowboys going after him.

Bodden actually does have a connection with the Panthers, but it's on the wrong side of the ball.

Panther OC Rob Chudzinski was on the Browns coaching staff in 2004 (TE coach) and 2007 (OC). Bodden was in Cleveland both years (played there from 2003 through 2007).

Receiver coach Fred Graves was also on the Browns staff in 2004, so he'd have been coaching guys going against Bodden in practice.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
