Why do you feel the need to comment on 4 different posts, essentially saying the same thing and getting personal?
I replied to the posts as they showed up in the thread. Maybe if you weren't spewing the same BS in each one, the responses wouldn't have been as similar.
There was nothing personal in there. Personal would be talking about your family. Which I didn't do. Nor did I call you names.
Look at the two side by side. Clearly Faulk, is a lot bigger and stockier than Woodhead. Probably has him by an inch in height wise, but the weight/body size difference is as clear as day. Of course what is done in the weight room matters. Have you ever played football? You could be 350 pounds and not be strong at all, and get thrown around by guys who do put work in and are stronger than you. Having strength does matter. The weight room is very important in the game of football. It gets you prepared for games. Woodhead is not as strong as Faulk is, which makes Faulk much more effective in picking up the blitz.
No, the weight/height difference between the two is not clear. You clearly don't know enough to be commenting on the subject. As I stated earlier. Not to mention that there is a difference in the Pads they wear.
You clearly don't understand body structure nearly as well as you think you do. You can take two people who look identical and throw them on the scales and there could be a 20 lb difference. Do you want to know WHY? It's called bone density. Everyone is different.
How do you know that Woodhead isn't as stong as Faulk? Cause of this perceived size difference? Or have you actually seen them work out? My guess is that you are talking out your rear end again.
I dont have any access to the earlier games, but the play from the Steelers game that I am referring to Brady got the ball off, a pass to the right to Branch I believer, but Woodhead got thrown aside like a rag doll. Although it never effected Brady it was just something I saw. I am not saying Woodhead is terrible against picking up the blitz, I am saying that he is below average because of his size. Someone who will rewatch the game, look for Woodhead and the number of plays that hes out there how many times does he pick up the blitz? I think that part of the reason he doesnt do that as much is because the Pats have made the TE's a major part of their blocking game, something they didnt do in prior years, so the blitz pick up from running backs is not as much of an emphasis.
So, because you can't be bothered to look up the particular play everyone on here should take you at your word?
Also, the Pats, when they've had good blocking TEs, have always used them as a major part of their blocking game. After Graham left, the Pats didn't have any good blocking TEs. So, this idea that the blitz pickup for the RB isn't as much of an issue for the RBs now is, honestly, a figment of your imagination. I can't remember a single play where the Pats have brought the TE in motion to the interior of the line and used the TE to pick-up the blitz there.
As for this idea that Woodhead is below average because of his size, you have nothing to support your claims. Just your opinion. And the facts don't support it.
What I find hilarious is that I quote FACT to you (Pro Day/Combine heights/weights) and you gloss over them as if they don't exist. Yet, you expect people to believe your flawed opinion?
Woodhead has been a very good player for the Pats, he has definitely stepped in and been a replacement for Faulk. I am not saying that Woodhead is better than Faulk in all aspects of the game though, Woodhead can do some things better than Faulk as well.
Until now, you've said nothing complimentary of Woodhead. Personally, it just seems like you are trying to CYA and you aren't doing a good job of it.
