Put Woodhead on almost any other NFL team, and he's right back to where he was here, same place Leon Washington and McKnight is today....3rd string or kick returner.

Hell, Woodhead is (as a running back) basicly third string now as it is, with both Bolden and Vareen getting almost as many carries as Woodhead does in that 4-back rotation. What Woodhead does offer is a scatback/flanker role for catching passes out of the backfield.

On a Sanchez-led Jets, thats another spot we can't utilize anyway. Half of the Sachex-throws to such a player would result in pick-6's for ****s sake. And 1 in 10 would result in some bone-crushing injury causing hit when Sanchez led Woodead righto some viscious hit.

No, Woodhead leaving was the best and ony thing that culd make what Woodhead is today, a very valued third string RB/Reciever on a team whose system, QB and style of spreading the ball around can make use of him.

Bemoaning the loss of Woodhead is misdirection. Bemoan that we drafted Sanchez, not Brady, hired Groh not Bellichek, and felt McKnight could do more behind L.T. and gReene than Woodhead could (probably true in our system of up-the-gut-running with a horribly inaccurate QB).

This. x1000
Sadly, we just can't get other posters to understand this. So we get 2 or 3 threads a year on letting this player go.
