3rd and short near goal line and they freaking pass instead of letting him pound it in? unbelievable.

All I'll say is Woodhead is much more of a lightning back than a thunder back.

In case no one notices.....Woodhead has always excelled at running the ball against bigger,stronger,taller DLs because they simply cannot get down lower to the point of tackling Woody and are simply not as adept to dealing with midgets.

Against small,faster defensive fronts such as Arizona,he struggles more.

Fail...Woody brings a skill set the others do not except maybe Vareen but he has to show he can blitz pick up and play in the passing game before he can take any critical snaps. Woody on the other hand has shown time and time again that he is a very solid replacement for Faulk and has been for a few years now.

wrong. woodhead was out there because one guy ahead of him was ineffective and the other one got hurt.

BTW, bolden was running the ball effectively before he got hurt.

That's funny a few weeks ago, some idiots on this board were calling for him to be cut.

he's good depth, but he's the 3rd stringer.......the fact that after running the ball for 9 yards on 2 carries, the pats decided to throw in INT on 3rd and one still show a lack of confidence in this guy

Or a lack of confidence in the line.

all things considered, the line has done well as of late and has come a long way since training camp. at least thank god for scar.

the pats were moving the ball on the ground ..... IMO if you can move the ball on the ground, you move the ball on the ground

I agree, but the Pats only ran it between the tackles once out of five attempts at 3rd and short. That combined with not going for it on 4th and less than 1 on the Seahawks 6 makes me think their lack of faith was on the line and not Woodhead.
