Danny Woodhead getting noticed

[Joker]

We could have all eleven offensive players wear wood heads thereby creating mass confusion for any defense.

Meriweather hits would be especially deadly when you factor in the splinters that the receivers would also suffer.

I hope this isn't a pay league

Nope. If it were, I'd be making some money after the season.

Faulk is one of the best I have ever seen at avoiding the big hit...ya-ya I know he is injured.... Watch him carefully when he comes back; he knows when to hit the turf when there is bad news coming. He racked up a ton of yards at LSU and for the Patriots and you don't do that without being careful to avoid the big hit.

Edelman fights for that last yard and leaves himself exposed. While this is commendable it does not lead to a long career in the NFL. Felger and the other douches used to complain that Randy Moss shied away from contact but that is exactly what he should have done [but of course you don't hear them complaining about Branch laying down].

unfortunately I still sense great love for a 34 year old Keith Faulk who by many is still the better option despite being 34

Unfortunately? UNFORTUNATELY?!?! This is Kevin Freakin' Faulk we're talking about here, one of the best loved Pats of all-time. And for good reason, he's been a true Patriot for his entire career, always there when needed, always making clutch plays, always doing what's right for the team.

Is it great to have Woodhead to step in as Faulk 2.0? Sure, especially when Kevin goes down for the season for the first time ever in a long and distinguished career. But I wouldn't write the man off, he's been too good for too long. He never relied on exceptional physical tools for his success, so I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to come back. But I'll always cheer for Kevin Faulk just like I always cheered for Troy Brown, Tedy Bruschi, Ted Johnson, Hog Hannah, Steve Grogan, Stanley Morgan and so many other career Patriots.

I didn't get to see the game on Sunday, but I did catch it on NFL Replay ... Woodhead is fun to watch.

I hate excuses... but do I really need to pull out my pneumonia card.....

How can you not root for him? A Division II 5'7 white RB juking pro bowl nfl linebackers out? It's a riot!

5'7 3/4". That extra 3/4" is key.

Woodhead has definitely been great in Faulk's role and he may end up being his replacement. I love Faulk and I hope that we have him for one more year but he is getting old. Faulk is like the Ray Lewis of 3rd down backs... Even if he lost a step, he's only gained steps in knowledge and is still at his top game. And don't forget that he is a great leader and model for the younger players.

hmmm??? Woody all day..... it is funny b/c Woody is 25 years old

What team did you root for before this year?

Seriously fun. I don't know how many times I cringed when he had the ball because <insert Raven LB/DL> was about to crush him. Only to watch him squeeze threw some tiny hole to get 6 more yards. He's got the same advantage that MJD has, sometimes he gets lost behind those huge bodies that most NFL players have.

Edit: I picked him up in one of my fantasy leagues as a Bye week replacement and he ended scoring more than the regular guy did. And as an added bonus, the site had (and still does) him listed as a WR.

We told you, rooming in the refrigerator box was a bad idea. Get another job and pay the extra for a room at the Y, it'll be better for your long term health.
