NY Post: Jets still chasing Pats .. Woodhead - New England Patriots Forums

A good read in the Post today, giving credit for the BIG contribution that Woodhead has made for the Pats thus far. They also questioned the Jets keeping him over McKnight (USC), while Danny Boy clearly outplayed him in camp.

I never watched one episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks" special on the Jets...but a friend of mine watched every episode and he said that Woodhead "Tore it up in camp"....which made him wonder how in the hell the Jets would ever let that kid go.....

2 words...."Rex Ryan"

Even more words: They had just traded up for McKnight and didn't want to look like fools.

Of course, that's exactly the kind of thinking that usually leaves you looking foolish.

In their defense it's not unusual to waive undrafted guys like Wood back and forth from your 53 to your PS, something you don't dare do with early round pick rookies. In this instance of roster gamesmanship another org that makes a science of souting EVERYONE on EVERY roster saw a promising player with talents they thought were a fit in their scheme. Tough Luck, Jets.

Wrong two words. Rex wanted to cut McKnight and keep Woodhead. Mike T who traded up for McKnight forced Rex to keep him.

Why haven't we extended Woody yet?????/ what is the wait?????

PS- if we don't sign him and go w/ Faulk instead. I am cutting ties w/ this team despite how much I love them.

Faulk is on IR.... he has no contract..... why are we not locking Woody up long term?

Yeah, but you've got to be careful about who you waive. How many guys have the Pats let go that have come back to haunt them? First guy I think of will be one...
