But this year Gary Myers got me so hot under the collar with his Jet bashing... until we beat San Diego of course, that I had to take the time to log on and rip him a new one. Its like... how does a Dolfin fan get to write in our paper about the Jets. Aiside from that we need a pass rusher to complment the blitz packages that Rex runs.

They obviuosly are under the impression that Danny is, at the least, capable of being a marginal player in this league. I'm embarrassed to have a coach and GM who can't tell the difference between an NFL caliber player and a beer-leaguer. Thank you for enlightening me. Ramble,

He does not belong in the NFL. He is not anywhere near the player Welker is, and never will be. I'm emabrassed to have him on my team. Woodhead is not an NFL caliber player!!!

I think it's premature to worry too much about TJ's age, it's like a pre-emptive strike based on statistics, which can be misleading. Can the guy have a bad stretch (injuries don't count) before we write him off? He got 1400 yards and 14TDS and was hurt for the last few games. I wouldn't want him being my only good back, but with Greene, Leon and Brad Smith there to share the load, I think it's just a no-brainer. Let's fill real needs first, potential needs later.

It's not bashing the kid, it's being realistic. He played his entire life as a RB and is now trying to transition to WR. He's not in the same mold as Welker. Welker's talent is in how quickly he gets in and out of cuts to create space. Woodhead is extremely fast, but is a one-cut runner, meaning he makes his one cut and usually maximizes his yards in a straight burst. If he is going to be used solely as a WR, than he shouldn't be gaining weight, either. I think Bent has his role accurately labeled as a player who can fill in at two positions and not much else. It'd be wonderful if he could develop into a player that the Jets can use, but to say it's merely a question of him being able to beat a jamming CB is way off. Wolf,

Guy takes big hits and gets right back up. He is younger than Welker and built in a similar mold. Only real question with Woodhead is whether he can play physically enough at the LOS to get space on his across the middle slant routes. He will have to work on getting seperation, route running, and he will need to be in the weight room all year. If he can do this, he can he our slot reciever, he has great hands.

Last year Kiper got 5 of the first round picks correct. FIVE. He may be good at evaluating talent, but he's awful at identifying real team needs and properly predicting the direction they'll go in.

I hate to defend Woodhead because everyone jumps all over the comments as if I'm declaring him to be the next Walter Payton, so before I start I'd just like to say that Woodhead's best value might simply be as a guy that can fill in at two positions, just in terms of lining up in the right spot and not making a mistake. Still, that can be a useful type of guy to have on the roster, or ready to call up from the practice squad, just in case. I did want to address your comment though, because Woodhead was inactive in the Colts game, unless you are talking about the original Colts game, where he didn't carry the ball, but did catch an eight yard pass. I wonder if - with Greene out - they would have used him at RB in the second game had he been active. At least on third downs, I'm sure they'd have put him in there to spell TJ. "He’s a pre-season wonder and it happens every year…" Actually, he didn't play last year in pre-season. This year was the first time he played because he was actually out injured all through his rookie year.

Vegas has them as a 25-1 bet to win the big one. BTW - the Giants were just ahead of us. What a jack-hole !
