Danny Woodhead's Moment of Truth

With Shonn Greene’s banged up ribs it makes sense to carry Woodhead until Greene is 100%. Besides, with the preseason he has had I doubt if the Jets will be able to sneak Woodhead through waivers and onto the practice squad.

We all root for the little guy, but the numbers don’t make sense.

I don’t believe Danny will make the team despite clear proof that he is ready. Not only is he undersized, but he is from Division II school. All of these factors work against most players. by the way, he is white at a skilled position. The numbers he put up last night suggest that a good coach would find a spot for him. This is not a defining moment for Danny Woodhead, this is a defining moment for Rex Ryan. If he cuts Danny Woodhead, he is not ready to lead the Jet’s, if he keeps him, he recognizes potential, talent , passion and hardwork and is confident he can develop it.

If Rex cuts woodhead, his head is probably made out of wood. Rex’s, I mean. There’s more heart in Woodhead than in “Rudy”! The guy obviously can run, has good speed, good hands, excellent vision, but his biggest attribute is his heart. YOU CAN’T MEASURE DESIRE!! And don’t hand me this"he’s too small" garbage. Otherwise Leon Washington wouldn’t even have pads on. So that argument holds no water. As far as coming out of a division II school, He was selected the UNANIMOUS player of the year 2 years running. That’s called an “ALL AMERICAN” in my book. And as far a the numbers game on the 53 man roster, We have 3 QB’s WITHOUT Clemens. Look, I originally liked Kellen when he came out but Ainge is a Far, FAR superior QB as the back-up to Sanchez. And #15 used to be a QB in college. So there’s your 3 QB’s on the roster. In this day and age, a player MUST be more than one dimensional. And woodhead can not only find the holes behind massive OL’s, he can run screens as good as anyone. And just remember, there used to be a guy named Marshall Faulk who was about the same size [ok. maybe an inch taller] as Danny. You keep 5 running backs. 2 fullbacks and 3 halfbacks. Shonn is a tweener. Somewhere ‘tween running back and blocking back. We don’t know which yet. Richardson we know. Great blocking back and good pass catcher out of the backfield. Leon is, well, LEON THE GAMECHANGER! You gotta keep last years AFC rushing champ. So keep Woodhead and chuck Clemens. And by the way, we Don’t Need Brandon Marshall.
