EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 3 hours ago, Buddo said: No great surprise really. While Belichik might glean a nugget or two from Bodine, I don't think that truly was the object of the exercise. I think it was a reaction to losing Andrews, that meant they were in need of finding an adequate starter in a hurry, and gave us the pick to ensure they could look at him. Neither Bengals fans, nor ourselves, have been very impressed with Bodine, so it comes as little surprise that BB wouldn't be either. He might know a bit more than we do, methinks. If he knew a bit more than we do, then he wouldn't have traded a 6th round pick for that bum! Face it, the days of Belichick picking up nuggets are gone. His decision making has been suspect for a while now, and we just haven't seen the end result of it yet... it just might be this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilarian Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Man, they must have been desperate to trade for him...

Rocky Landing Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'm sure this has been stated already, but I was really hoping to see Bodine opposite Oliver later this season. That would have been fun to watch. Although, if I'm being entirely honest, a certain "Billsy" part of my brain was secretly afraid that Bodine would take the field in a Pats* uniform, and somehow be transformed into a solid center.

This is excluding someone like Teller who kept right up final cut downs, and then got something for him. Miller may be the only who I believe may be starting, and could be wrong about that. Miller is listed as the Bengals starting RG. (Cordy Glenn is their LT).

We would probably lose anyway, as Belichick is a master game day coach & McDermott has yet to show that skill. This just makes the week 4 go from possible a respectable game to an embarrassment.

Freddie's Dead Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Belichick up to the same old cheatin' Hoodie bull####. Except it didn't work out too well in this case. You really give up a 6th round pick to get info on a team that's been your B word for the last 20 years? C'mon man. We fleeced the Cheats this time. Reminds me of the time Belichick signed Fast Freddie off the practice squad before he played us, then cut him Monday morning. I heard the other day that now you have to keep a guy you sign off a PS for at least 3 weeks, in order to prevent this kind of cheatin' Hoodie bull####. Screw you Hoodie, you cheatin' *****.

We traded a 6th for info, not a player I can admit that Belichick is one of, if not, the best coach ever, but is a bit much. You talk like he's literally never made a single mistake, he's made plenty of poor draft picks and signed players that haven't worked out. Trading a 6th round pick for some info into an offense that's very similar to something he's run for years would be incredibly short sighted. I can't imagine for a second Belichick doing that, especially for info into a team he's beat more than any other in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We traded a 6th for info, not a player The genius of Bill Belichick, in large measure, is cutting his losses and not caring about the backlash. He traded for Bodine because he thought he could help. He couldn't. Instead of holding on to him to save face, he cut him and moved on. Why on Earth would Bill Belichick be making a move to gain Intel on the Bills multiple weeks before they face them? I'm sure he got what he could, but his focus is on their first opponent. He brought in Bodine because their oline is in trouble. And why would he be giving up draft picks to gain Intel on the Bills, of all teams? Why not the Steelers? Why not a contending team that is an actual threat? Or is he saving the rest of his picks for that later in the season? Edited September 7, 2019 by MJS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 11 hours ago, Albany,n.y. said: This further confirms how bad the OL was last year. 40% of the starting 5 are out of the league ( both centers & RT), and the players who started at LG-Vlad, out; Teller traded for 2 lower round picks. Teller was traded for same level as his draft level PLUS additional trade. Would not say he is a bad player but just needing development. Vlad was kept on roster because he was favorite of OL coach. Coach was canned and surprised he was not traded with him for "future considerations". Hicks was on roster because he was functional if not great. I have no idea what happened to Groy; he seemed to play well as substitute. Bodine was signed for Bills and New England to unexpected injuries.

Modern coaches (and BB is the master of this, ironically) gameplan week to week based on opponent, and Bodine in no way could’ve fed them anything useful in that sense. It’s probably safe to also say that any general checks and line calls that the Bills’ centers were privy to in training camp were changed the second Bodine was traded to new england.
