coverage eh! first i have really heard on why.

still think it was a bad move but i trust whiz right now.

He must have gotten over his supposed injury very quickly. I thought he failed his physical with the Cardinals. Do I have it wrong?

 

[Shzm13]

Maybe he was demanding a lucrative deal for a LS?

Hodel couldn't hold my Jock!

Last time I'll get to use that one.



Such a classic line!

Hodel rules. I wonder if he'll show up in Madden next year because he plays for the Patriots

Miracles happen, he will be missed. wonder who the new guy will be. Jason Kyle beat Hodel out of a job in Carolina. Kyle supposedly visited here, but no report on how it went.........I think he lives in Tempe during the off season.

This shows that Hodel was good. If the Pats want you, you can perform.

Good luck Nate..... You will always get respect on this board.

Yep, Major props to the guy for his work on and off the field here.

Can't say I disagree about his coverage though, If your kicker can get down and take a guy out now and then, the LS should have been at least decent at it.

Patriots? UGH!

This is the first time I got to log into the board since Hodel was released. After the Cardinals lost the next day I was admitted into the hospital.. Im doin ok now though. Very very sad to see him go. My whole family was pretty upset about it. My mom and Mark had tears rolling down their face. Not because of what he did on the field. but what he did off the field. When we went to the games Mark truely had a buddy on the team, someone who gave him his jersey off his back, someone who after the championship game saw me down by the locker rooms and asked me to call my brother on my cell so he could talk to him since he was sick. We will miss you Nate. Really sucks the Cardinals let him go, they just signed him to a 4 year deal. So he had bad coverage for 8 years??? Its bull sshit to me but my opinion is biased because of a personal relationhsip he had with my family. Good luck brother, weird to say one of my favorite players doesnt play for the Cardinals.

That didnt last long, he was just cut by the Pats. He was beaten out by a rookie.

That sucks for him, such a class act he is.

All it takes is one crappy snap from one of 32 guys and his phone will ring.
