[Alyfoley]

It was so awesome. We said thank you Jets lol. Did he blow a kiss to the crowd after his TD?

Humble pie, served fresh.

That does not mean what you seem to think it does.

To serve someone humble pie means to force them to be humble by showing them all of their shortcomings, usually in a humiliating way, and often to their own surprise.

With respect to the Patriots, it became a catch phrase in 2007 and meant that the players would come to film review sessions at least somewhat happy and self-satisfied about having won, but then coach BB would show them all of their screw-ups and drive away any complacency that had developed, making them realize that even with a win there were mistakes to fix.

Saying that you have to eat humble pie doesn't mean that you are humble, modest, down-to-earth, or any of that. It means that someone, usually an authority figure, showed you that you have shortcomings and despite any success you have gained, you had best fix them.

I'm not trying to get on your case, but I see this phrase mis-applied very often.

Can't help but like this kid. He also showed some impressive shake n bake on his TD run. Woodhead has big shoes to fill, but he did a pretty good job in his first game. Good on you, kid!

The guy looked like a pro on that 22-yard run; nice cuts and great speed. Personally, I had no idea he was that good in division II; set NCAA records, etc... So, the guy can play football. In fact, he seems to look like he belongs in the NFL...so far.

Gotta like the bit about hiding behind linemen. Why shouldn't he? Getting that extra step (or two) can make a BIG difference, particularly for a guy who can cut and has speed. Good on him. :singing:

On WEEI, Brady indicated that he is suprized how quickly Woodhead picked up the offense, and indicated that Woodhead already knew the terminolgy from Mangini era with the Jet's.

It makes me wonder if the Jet's are able to make adjustments against the Patriots because they are all ready familiar with the Pat's offense and defense ?

I wish he would have been issued another number. He just does not look like a '39'. There had to have been a better number for him.
