    Nicely done... I like the "Circus" for short... Spartan I was going a little Greek... Olympics... Hammer throw.
    Being completely (well relatively) serious for a second... Why does anyone on this board think that a 5'7 undrafted rookie free agent who has been a RB his whole playing career at a division III school is suddenly going to learn to be an NFL wide receiver in 13 days? I mean, do we think Brad Smith is a better athlete than woodhead? And how long has it taken him to be somewhat of an NFL receiver? I have nothing against woodhead, and I certainly hope they can scheme him in as some sort of threat out of the slot, and fully admit I don't see practice and they do so they must see something; I just don't understand why its some sort of given to many posters here that he is going to do anything as a WR for this team in the next few weeks...

    Moore went from being and undrafted DT to a starting OG... Peters in Buffalo did the same only at LT. Why can't Woodhead do the same?
    I think that in a Percy Harvin sort of position he'll have success...

    If hes used at WR at all , it will be in the Brad Smith mould, end arounds and the such. I don't think we would actually see him line up wide and go deep. Maybe across the middle he could do damage, IF Sanchez can see him

    Totally fair points... I am not saying it can't be done, but those changes did not happen in a short period of time. My point is, we are so thin at wideout with cotch and smith out again and I can't understand why we are going into another week with a reciever corp of clowney, wallace wright and woodhead outside of edwards, whose been here for 17 days with our struggling rookie qb and I don't know how woodhead as receiever has more of a chance of helping this week than a marcus henry type or some other practice squad type player who was in camp. Hey, I hope he is the next wes welkerbet, just don't understand how there is not a help-now option there.

    Haha... That's going (ancient) greek allright... Sh+t, even the "hammer throw" sounds like it was taken from a favorite ancient greek pastime and not the actual sport...
