Why Rush Woody back? I don't think he would make that BIG of an impact.

Hernandez is back so I am really happy. Let Woody sit out for this 1.

Typical...after all he only had 213 total yards from scrimmage in 2 games against the JETS last season... Who needs a guy like that on the field...

Can't do it from the jacuzzi, Mo.

You keep writing as if the injury doesn't exist and that he has not missed all practices this week.

Nobody is saying that a healthy Woodhead isn't our best option. Quit pretending that they are.

I also understand wanting to see Vareen and Ridley more as well.

My meaning isn't that he's worthless to the team, but I can see how it might look like I said that. He's above Ridley on the depth chart for a reason. I love the kid! I'd rather him rest up and torch the Jets in the second game this year instead. I wasn't clear.

Granted, he hasn't that many catches, it hasn't really been needed. Still the route running and YAC have been pretty smooth. Should provide hope that the defficiencies in January can be corrected.

It's also an important note why the league is going away from feature back and why a stocked backfield is benefial.

I have no qualms with whichever RB is playing in the backfield as long as Bb and Co. Feel said player is best for that situation. I merely think that color/race has no weight in Bb's evaluation process, as it shouldn't. I don't think that comment was sarcastic at all, it seemed genuine to me.
