Take Your Pick: Chauncey Washington vs. Danny Woodhead

If Greene or LD go down, I think Chauncey would be the much better option to join the rotation. He’s the more powerful of the 2, and can perform the duties required in our offense.

Woodhead is quick, but thats about it. Like JB said, he can’t run away from anybody, he doesn’t make people miss and he can’t break tackles. He’s a scrapper and he’s easy to root for, but he’s not a legit NFL talent.

And find somewhere else for McKnight, at least for the time being.
But if I only had to choose 1, it would be Washington.
Woodhead is versatile in being able to be WR/RB but the problem is, he is not vastly skilled in either area. So that really hurts him when you would think it would help.

I was picking chauncey a month or more ago and got laughed at by the judge. lol
I even posted numbers of CW in college. He was a workhorse and had good numbers. He was steady and can catch out of the backfield. I like woodhead but CW more powerful and with decent speed. Hoping CW makes it, we’ll see.
Interesting about Bell from buffalo but if he’s tearing it up and they are hurting at RB I don’t see them cutting him. Bills have some good RB’s but the injury bug hit them at that position earlier.

I just feel like he is a serious workhouse that God forbid if anything happened to Greene, I see Washington being able to come in and go to work. Woodhead is good, versatility is phenomenal… But put it this way… If Green went down, would you want to see this line up:

1. Ladanian Tomlinson
2. Joe McKnight
3. Danny Woodhead

OR

1. LT
2. Joe McKnight
3. Chauncey Washington

The first shows me scat backs that aren’t going to be that every down back we need. I like LT, but I don’t want to over use the man… Joe McKnight is shaky right now so I can’t say I rely on the man yet… and Woodhead goes down on first contact as we’ve all seen… doesn’t use his speed to hit the holes quickly before they close and just seems like an LT/JM type of running back… we don’t need three of those. Washington would compliment our backfield in a tremendous way.

Just my thoughts.

Like Jerricho said special teams. That’s the main reason why I like CW he hits hard and still has enough speed to get to the ball carrier and avoid blockers. I knew he had a good chance, especially after some good runs a RB. Woodhead is more versatile but they have a few of those guys already. Brad Smith is one and it seems they are almost committed to McKnight. I like both Woodhead and CW but CW more.

kind of reminds me of Wayne Chrebet (smaller guy, leaves his heart on the field, although undoubtedly Chrebet was much better). But Washington is just a better fit with the running game given his running style. I’m not too worried about lacking a WR since with Braylon, J Co, Keller and LT out of the backfield Sanchez “should” have plenty to work with. RB depth is a bigger issue and having a dedicated back rather than a WR/RB who is average at both is more important.

Granted, idieally i’d like both but if we need to i’ll take Chauncey

Send McKnight packing. Get past this mistake asap before it costs the team w’s.

He doesn’t play bigger than his size like Jim Leonhard.

Well said. This is the whole problem. And not even like Wayne Chrebet who he outweighs.
