After watching him perform against the Eagles in that last preseason game........you would be a fool to cut him. You will end up with one of those high dollar boys that get their contract ($) and fail to perform. I have followed Woodhead since his days at Chadron.

That's exactly what I've been saying on the blog as well. There hasn't been ANY opportunity for Woodhead to show ANY speed or agility. It's plain ridiculous to expect a small back to "pound it up the middle"!! Isn't that the purpose of a 1-2 punch backfield?? I hope for the Jets sake that they keep Danny, but if they don't...they'd better hope that he doesn't get picked up by another AFC East team that would use him the way God intended!!

I just know something about running backs. I also know that Woodhead has had many supporters in some of the Jet fans. Someone said in response to my 1st blog on this subject, that Danny couldn't break tackles and he hasn't shown anything. Well, I went back to NFLNetwork and watched the Giants game, again. Can you show me one time that Thomas Jones or Leon broke a tackle? Jones even got stuffed in the backfield a couple of times. Maybe if he had Danny's speed he could have gotten away from the tackler. I know that Leon is a great back and returner, and I enjoy watching him, but all I am saying is that if you have a guy that runs a 4.3 40and weighs 200 lbs, you don't run him between the tackles every time. The only times he got outside was on pass plays, and he made positive gains on all his receptions. As someone else said, I really do not think that the Jets staff want him on the team. There is nothing that Woodhead can do about that, just keep pounding it inside. What gets me is you guys saying that you hope he makes it with some other team. Are you listening to yourselves? Woodhead is good enough to make it on some other team, but not the Jets. You guys plan on going to the Super Bowl this year? What is a "gadget" player anyway? Leon? Sproles? Welker? If a man has talent and is good enough to make the team, you find a place for him. Ala, Brad Smith, who used to be a QB. Besides, the Jets are going to need running backs when Jones and Greene go down with injuries during the season. As someone else said, it is a numbers game. Hopefully, Woodhead can make it with a team that needs his talent, and will give him the opportunity to run "outside the tackles" and be a receiver out of the backfield and the slot. Thanks guys, it has been fun, but if most of you are right, both Woodhead and I will be history after Thursday's game. GO CARDINALS!! OK, just for the record, I am not related to Woodhead.

I think that happens before a 5th RB like Caulcrick or Woodhead makes the team. Or maybe ahead of a 6th WR. Or a 3rd TE. As for the WRs, I'm with those who say Allison should make it over Henry. I wonder if the Jets look into signing David Tyree after he's cut by Giants, maybe he takes Wallace Wright's spot. Like Wright he's a good special teams player, but brings more as a receiver.

The will sign a punter next week after final cuts. If Pak had a chance they would have let him punt last week. Cimini says Simmons will make the team, coaches love him but I just dont see it. He is supposed to be a pass catcher yet has made big drops, and he was getting blown up blocking, so why keep him? I say Jo Kowaleski, cut yesterday will be the number two and Brown may end up on the practice squad. Noticed Tony R lining up a bit at TE in the last game, think they may carry only two. Marcus Henry is a goner. No idea where you see upside to this guy, he barely got in the game at the very end. Not sure who beats him out, if anyone, they may just carry five unless they sign a vet. But if they keep six then have to believe Allison is ahead of Henry, certainly more upside. When I see the CB depth chart it scares the heck out of me, hoping they sign another vet. Why not give a shot to Carroll with the first unit, cant be much worse than what they have. No idea who stays instead of him, but would be very surprised if Drew Coleman makes this team.

It's the 3rd/4th string lineman and offensive coordinator that blow!!! As shifty as Woodhead is....calling all runs up the middle isn't going to get you big plays...especially behind the lineman who won't be on the team much longer. What about some screen passes, tosses, basically anything that allows Woodhead to use his agility and speed. As for Leon, he didn't REALLY emerge until last year, this will be Woodheads first full year in competition. Give him a freakin chance!! TO kirk:

I dont care if he is 7'0 and can block. He is a projext at best. The Jets clearly dont care if they have mulitple players with similar skills at the same position. As close as Allison and Clowney are in skills....is it any different than having Leon Washington on the roster and then trying to trade back into the 1st round in April for P Harvin?
