Being out of position has zero to do with being timid.  Both Jimmy Johnson and Marvin Lewis want guys to play with aggression but also to do their job.  Johnson would never have said "I don't care if you ignore your assignment as long as you are running around like crazy." 

I loved what Odell brought to the team but your right him being undisciplined did not make us a better team. It would have been nice to see what a mature seasoned Odell would have brought to the team.
