"The efficiency with which they replay was very impressive," Payton said. When asked if the videoboards can give a home team an advantage in deciding whether or not to challenge a play, Payton mentioned how he got to watch a college game on Saturday, since the Saints played on Thanksgiving, and saw a replay solution he liked. His drive for a contract was at the root of this mess, and he'll need to start producing soon if that pursuit is going to bear anything more than the kind of offseason treatment Terrell Owens got last year.ģ) Saints coach Sean Payton raised an interesting point this week for the Competition Committee to consider. But the Titans also feel like they haven't done enough to get him loose, and the hope is they can do more to help light his fire. Tennessee fully expects Kerry Collins back on Sunday against the Jaguars, and Kenny Britt's possible return in Week 14 would also help in taking the heat off.

It's obvious that the Titans' ugly rotation at quarterback hasn't helped, and even more apparent that the Vikings circus was in full swing (though Moss was one of the ringmasters) during his short-circuited return there. But there are a couple factors to consider.

So is Moss approaching the cliff that some receivers suddenly careen off of in their mid-30s? Possible. Woodhead has 23 catches for 219 yards in that time, and the Patriots have gone 6-1. Moss has 17 catches for 223 yards and two touchdowns since he was traded on Oct. New England didn't let another opportunity pass them by, locking up the ex-Chadron State star through 2012 two weeks ago.Ģ) Speaking of Woodhead, would you believe he's been comparable as a receiver to a slightly more famous ex-teammate of his named Randy Moss? It's true. It wasn't until later that week that Woodhead chose the Patriots over a handful of other teams, because he thought it was the right fit for him. Woodhead, carrying a one-year, league-minimum contract, actually cleared waivers, meaning every team passed on a chance to open a roster spot and add him. The really amazing thing? The Patriots were right there with the rest of the league on the scatback that week. 14 to make room for the club to bring David Clowney (now a Panther) back and shore up its receiver depth. Jets coach Rex Ryan is already on record as saying he regrets the move to waive Woodhead, which happened on Sept. Those three numbers best Faulk's figures from last year, while he's just 99 scrimmage yards away from matching his predecessor's 2009 total.

He's averaging 5.4 yards per rush and 9.6 yards per catch. Woodhead, in replacing New England third-down back Kevin Faulk, has piled up 537 yards from scrimmage on 88 touches, which comes out to a 6.1-yard average. 1) Who'd have thought, when he was that cute little Hard Knocks story, that RB Danny Woodhead would be a centerpiece theme to a game between the 9-2 Jets and 9-2 Patriots on a Monday night in December? Somehow, someway, he is.
