Or are they the exact same player? Good on special teams, not special as defenders.
Yep, Alexander and Izzo were pressing TBC hard for playing time in 2006.neither is that good, but TBC had proven much more effective than woods has ever been.......
not sure what some people here see in woods.........no pass rush, and not much of a tackler........constantly out of position on screens......
TBC found his way onto the field when competition for that position was stronger

Patriots optimistic they can overcome loss of LB Thomas
Nov. 15, 2008
A source close to the Patriots tells us that the team is better equipped to handle the likely season-ending loss of OLB Adalius Thomas than initially believed. OLB Pierre Woods, a third-year career backup who was once thought to be nothing more than a situational pass rusher, proved against the Jets that he can stand up surprisingly effectively against the run. Also, his liability in coverage is somewhat mitigated by versatile LB Gary Guyton, an undrafted rookie revelation who can play both inside and outside.
Rosevelt Colvin - Official New England Patriots BiographyWoods, 26, has played in 36 career games with three starts since being signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Michigan on May 8, 2006. The 6-foot-5-inch, 250-pound linebacker played in the first 12 games of the 2008 season and started three straight games before being injured on Nov. 30 against Pittsburgh. Woods recorded a career-high 27 tackles (20 solo) in 2008, including his first career sack. His 11 special teams tackles lead the team this season. As a rookie in 2006, Woods played in eight games and recorded 11 special teams tackles and two tackles on defense. Last season, Woods played in every game and led the team with 22 special teams tackles while adding a pair of tackles on defense.

Neither guy is starter material, but I thought TBC played better in his starting opportunities with the Pats than Woods did.

That's the scary thing, have you ever seen a picture of them together? No, neither have I. It's pretty obvious to me that they are the exact same player --- I mean the EXACT same player. BB has some weird sh*t going down that even the CIA, the NSA and the National Board of Insurance Adjusters have no idea about. It would blow everybody's mind if this leaked out.
I disagree. I think their strengths are different.
What we have seen with Woods is a player very good at setting the edge. He played his best on the defensive left side, as the strong side OLB. He was less effective as a pass rusher.
TBC played his best as the weak side third-down pass rusher. His final season in New England he had 5.5 sacks in a situational role. Woods has one total sack for his career.
Neither has been effective in coverage. Both are pretty good on special teams.
I would say they are similar special teams performers. I think TBC is better able to play the role Izzo plays in the middle; Woods is a bit more of a front wedge-buster than the clean-up guy. But both are good ST linebackers.

Interestingly, or perhaps curiously, Dean Pees suggested the strongest part of Woods' game was his pass rush, but that for whatever reason he (Pees, not Woods) hadn't had the opportunity to make use of it on a consistent basis. If true, there is a whole facet of Woods' game that we've yet to see.
