    Quite convenient of you. I grow tired of this. You keep posting the same wrong bullshit. It's fun to demonstrate how wrong you are sometimes because of the way you state your opinions as fact, but it does grow tiresome sometimes watching you squirm. I'll check in later. Have a good one.

    :rofl: all you have done is make stuff up and now you are using some lame excuse about the search function. What exactly were you searching for. I'll see if my search works.

    Figure it out yourself. Your reading comprehension is lacking.

    I take it you weren't born with a lot of patience.

    I remember when you went off about Sanchez last year......how did that turn out for you?

    I was wrong about Sanchez, but what does that have to do with McKnight? I was right about Pouha when everyone hated his guts, but that has nothing to do with McKnight either. I could go on a rant about having been right about players FAR more often than I've been wrong... but so what?

    I'd still rather have Woodhead over McKnight. Said that all along, and so far I've been right about that. McKnight will be lucky to have half the NFL career Woodhead will have.

    You want to knob slobber McKnight, go ahead. I'll knob slobber Woodhead, and we'll see how it owrks out.

    it has everything to do with McKnight.....you stated that you wanted McKnight cut from the roster....it's his rookie year for christs' sakes...and he's got 2 capable of HBs in front of him on the depth chart....give the kid a chance.

    Sanchez needed to be shown the same patience....which you didn't have at this time last year either.

    Woodhead was given his chance....he didn't pan out and was deemed expendable.

    If McKnight doesn't pan out in a year or two...and he's deemed expendable at that time...then he deserves to be let go too.

    Never said I wanted McKnight cut... what I said was that there were other players I would want to see get cut before Woodhead, McKnight being one of several.

    Woodhead wasn't given a chance here. The Jets just never gave him enough touches to make a difference. This idea that a playmaker like Woodhead just didn't fit here is a silly ass arguement. According to Rex you put players in a position to succeed. The Jets didn't do that for Woodhead, but NE has.

    That's nothing new, players like Sproles and Cribbs aren't used by their respective teams correctly either.

    Woodhead failed miserably on ST.....he didn't earn the right to take meaningful snaps on offense outside of garbage time.

    Sproles and Cribbs are lethal on Special Teams..they play a specific role for their teams...that's just a bad comparison, dude.

    Woodhead failed miserably in his first game as a ST player. In NE he's solid on ST... and don't tell me it's because of the scheme there too...

    Woodhead would've been a solid gunner here (like McKnight has been in his last game)... but he was asked to cover the outside which clearly he didn't know how to.

    Thats a tough argument TBJ. Woodhead could have been used better but has clearly prospered because of the Pats system (which seems to favor really short fast white guys?) and Brady.

    The Patriots strength is to use receivers in linebacker territory. To isolate Tight Ends against Safeties. Woodhead might have done better with some NFL teams but he should get down on his knees that it was the Pats.

    As far as Juncs argument, I really have only one question. Which Leon Washington did the Jets think they were replacing with Mcnight? The one before or after his leg was hanging by a thread.

    Its easy to look back now and say "the Jets replaced Leon with Mcnight".

    If the Jets replaced him before the injury with a 4th round pick, that might be a stretch...but they replaced him after a major injury...major.

    Regardless, it was a 4th round pick. The jury, like you said all along TBJ on Woodhead, is still out.

    I think the Jets said they were replacing Leon with McKnight (and Fanecca with Ducasse/Slauson) as kind of a PR move more than an actual expectation. Tannenbaum and Ryan know that draft picks fizzle or develop slowly and McKnight (and Ducasse/Slauson) probably weren't going to be as good as the guys they were replacing but the bottom line is you can't keep everybody, so you lose some good players and you try to make up for it elsewhere on the team.

    I'm pretty sure that wasn't Woodhead's first time on ST, and I think he's playing a position other than gunner in NE. McKnight has done very well at the gunner position for the last 3 games.

    Woodhead had no excuse to "not know how to cover the outside" when he cost us the Miami game. It was his second year on the team and he had the best special teams coach in the league.

    People want to shit on McKnight for doing very well on ST's in his rookie year but make excuses for Woodhead costing us a game against a division rival. WTF?

    Hey I think I actually started a thread about McKnight being a very good addition on ST... I'm just saying Woodhead has been solid as well for NE. On that aspect one doesn't beat the other...

    If you look at what they both did for the Jets on special teams, McKnight has been better. He didn't cost us a game.

    I love how suddenly now a year later that Miami game is all on Woodhead. Like Shonn Greene didn't fumble to Jason Taylor for a TD too. Just a sign that the Woodhead bashers are reaching more and more as he makes plays and gets a contract extension.

    I'm just posting facts, sorry if they hurt your feelings for Woodhead. Sure, there were other reasons we lost that game, but he played a significant part. Saying he cost us the game was probably too extreme, my bad.

    My main point is that McKnight has been more useful for us this season in his minor role filling in as a gunner than Woodhead would have had we kept him instead.

    Sanchez didn't have 4th quarter heroics back then either. He had a chance to win it at the end.


    But the focal point of that loss was special teams, and there was one player who messed up big time.
