Leigh Bodden, Patriots CB

It is opening day in the National Football League well it is in Pittsburgh anyway where the defending Super Bowl champions will host the Tennessee Titans. Patriots are in action Monday night here at home against the Buffalo Bills. Joining us on the line is a New England Patriots cornerback Leigh Bodden -- it's -- Michael how -- yeah. We're doing great you're probably kind of excited to get their play real football again.

Definitely you know on certain. Real football. Monday night who.

Hey Leo what how would you compare. The patriot system defensively to what she ran in Detroit and Cleveland.

Are -- over and over different. You know. -- it was kind of kind of basic you know he's human which you run but. You know is it. You know kinda. From -- you know is is that in the pop I -- that there like -- matchup with -- and so. Quality big if -- it was so --

That I don't I don't know you at all but I felt like last year -- wanted to give you an in thumbing your teammates. After after no wins and what that duties psychologically -- has just beaten down your soul -- what to do that goes through a winless season like that.

You know -- from. You know it it was so you know it -- early on. And I kind of media but. You know. This -- well at least for -- Those of you who are in this. So did he know he went global with resources. And you know hopefully everything. You know how to -- and and make it in. In ways in a pretty much no -- were arrested as he. You know important. We it would gain was visibly -- quarterback -- Short memory. And good things about. Things but you know what the next there though. It up pretty much what not open its ability how are they saying -- and it is they focus on the you.

Over the last few days we've talked about the culture shock that a player like Richard Seymour faces going from here to Oakland what kind of culture shock was it for you. In the opposite direction and in a good way going from Detroit and then suddenly finding yourself with these guys and in this locker room.

This very moment I walked in here -- Obama they have -- maybe maybe -- we. It was news that police. You know what would have better. You know come from what I came from me to come to order recently is where -- What they -- That -- didn't look that up -- at least something that I wanted I want them you know -- out creating. And it wanna go back there. Anything less than that.

Your former coach in Cleveland Romeo -- now has. Has been many years of his career work with Bill Belichick you. You see any similarities not necessarily and they and their personalities but just in their coaching philosophies of what they're trying to do defensively.

Certainly room Romeo would be recorded hearings here they're here you know once or is it though. You know any kind of brought a lot of the things that they think he's. Here over the Cleveland. In America was is certainly one season and he is the I think you know Romeo what was known -- wait too well. You know in a successful -- You know I wasn't there and only use 11 over there. -- problem -- opulent home network it's great coach in you know lose to lot of similarities. -- would -- if there's a lot. Well because they see is. What would keep it it was to another and that is there.

It is your first season here so and so I do understand that you can't talk about the change in. In leadership but a lot of leaders have left this deep -- the last twelve months. Do you find guys within that defensive Roman that defensive huddle are stepping up in the leadership roles and why they have they are.

I think everybody you know that's another leader is not one. But we it is. Bruno. Earnings and -- in the meriwether. -- Change and he's. That -- that he has got to be that leader will. But the secondary you know kind of would be an excellent quarterback he's in -- along -- Great leader. You know a lot of would you. Operating. -- like no team. An old beat it -- you know that's stuff in it and he doesn't see them on. Did he did everybody go.

Leo I've heard that Shawn Springs takes some mean notes on receivers. Has he let you look at his notebook and if so what have you what have you found out there.

no room here whom you know he is useful. In and he's a newcomer who -- editing in and watch the film. It means a -- to come you know from the book. Day is you know become a better player. He can always are welcome that victory -- that you -- trooper Burke. And I think a lot of their the Gaza companies in the -- and he is up load them up from. Children. Things. The corner and safety but --

Before we let you go tell me about how you prepare for a buffalo offense. When you're really not sure what the heck they're gonna do it's gotta be hard to get ready for these guys.

Well -- critical of you who are you know this just because -- Fargo -- that are really mean there's. You know it definitely. None of these. Aren't -- then no one week though. We discussed that you know experience in the look at you know look it's my fear is fear is -- you know there I mean they're both those things. You -- you know you know. Happens -- first week. Around the league. You know we are what. You know regroup. It is the play the PPP.

We appreciate the time best of luck to -- on Monday and welcome to New England. All right Erica -- you take apparently thanks that is patriots cornerback Leigh -- joining us from the locker room downstairs so we're in the hall at patriot place.
