Quick-hit thoughts around NFL & Pats - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston1. One of the most interesting behind-the-scenes developments that I heard in the first week of free agency was how running back Danny Woodhead was on the radar of the New York Jets, and the idea that he might return to the team that cut him in 2010 was discussed seriously. Imagine that: the Patriots having to face the clutch "passing" back who was one of their most consistent and reliable players from 2010-2012 twice each season. The Jets wound up going with Mike Goodson instead, but there was legitimate interest in Woodhead, and it was reciprocated until the Chargers stepped up with their aggressive pitch. As for the Patriots, they were in the mix to retain Woodhead, but this was a case where they set their financial limit and felt the right decision was to move on once the numbers exceeded that. I wonder if they might ultimately regret the decision.
You're saying he had heart? Miles and miles of heart?Reading this thread has been interesting. ALOT of people just loved Woodhead, some seem to be somewhat jovial that he is gone, and some seem to be somewhat indifferent if he is here or not. Some people indicate he was not the better athlete, there are other guys who have more power, more speed, and that could be. Maybe he just wasn't the total all around package, but maybe, just maybe, there is a player we can compare him to on this team.
There are alot of fantastic athletes on this team with unbelievable talent, unfortunately, some of them don't have brains, desire, and determination. On the flip side of that statement, the HOF QB on this team has those 3 qualities above and beyond everyone else, and I believe he will go down as one of the greatest QB's ever, Woodhead shares those same qualities and he is very humble. Tom and Danny share a chip on their shoulders that other players don't seem to have, but it drives the hell out of both of them. No, I'm not saying Danny is a HOF'er, but man, that guy took to the field and went to work and did it well. Here is hoping he has continued success in his career.

...did you ever watch Woodhead play for Chadron State? It's a very small school. During my early days as a sportswriter working for the Scottsbluff Star-Herald, I once covered a Chadron State game. At halftime the team went into a classroom and sat at desks while the coach went over adjustments on the blackboard.
What's a blackboard?
Its that slate thingy at the front of the room they write on with chalk. Also known as a chalkboard. OK, I'll change my post.
