Re: Belichick really must name Woodhead as a captain Monday Night
I see it exactly opposite. If the Pats name Woodhead a captain, what that says is that Ryan and the Jets are in BB and the Pats heads; in other words it would be counter productive.
Do you really want BB and the Pats to start responding to Ryan with this type of an off the field, figurative response? There is a cliche about never arguing with an idiot because they will drag you down to their level and defeat you with experience, and that is somewhat applicable.
The difference is that Ryan is not an idiot, but whatever it is that he is, you don't want to engage him in making statements through the media. He's a master at manipulating the media and public perception - and that is one area that Belichick has proven that he falls short.
Don't do it, bad idea.
