Looks good. The only thing that worries me is how well the injury will effect his blocking in pass protection, if they even use him for that Sunday.

Or catching the ball. My guess is he won't be used much unless something happens to Vereen.

Exactly. This Sunday Woody is emergency backup for Ben.

I am happy to see him back, but not sure how effective he will be catching the ball.... It really pains me to see Gronk out for Sunday and the SB if we win

I love watching him plow into the legs of LBs 2x his weight.

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.

But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.

He's a much better blocker than Vereen, but I doubt they will use him much. His blocking would definitely drop off with a broken thumb. I'm looking forward to seeing more two back sets with Vereen and Ridley on the field at the same time.

I would think that the blocking would be ok he can still get to the right spot and get low and deliver a nice pop. Catching is what I think would be tougher not impossible but tougher and I think he could take hand offs and obviously just carry it with the good hand. He possibly could use something different for the game too..maybe he shoots up and just uses both hands and thumb as a softer cast, tape, or other support.

I would think the plan is to go with Vareen more but who knows what scenario could come up and they might need Woody.
