WTF Has Happened to Wesley and Woods?

**Mr. Kotter** · 11-29-2004, 03:23 PM

SOMEONE.....correct me if I'm wrong.

Wasn't it just 1 or 2 years ago....that Woods MADE the Pro-Bowl; Wesley was prominently mentioned as a Pro-Bowl also ran....

Wasn't it just during the past two years, that I recall more than a few broadcasters and NFL experts calling Wesley and Woods things like "one of the best and hardest hitting safety tandems" in the entire LEAGUE?

Seriously, did I just imagine all that???

.....because THAT seems like a real long time ago right now.

I don't know. They make lots of tackles.

Pay day.

I wish I could explain it. I know some people say that Woods played poorly last year, but him and Wesley were some of the only bright spots on the D, with Fuji offering some glimmer of hope at LB. This year all 3 have disappointed greatly.

I thought so too; and, yeah, I know they've blown some coverages....but, hell, they are BOTH, often it seems to me, tryin' to compensate for our pathetic LB corp too. That takes them out of position on occasion, sure....

I just DON'T understand how they became "crap" over-night as some seem to be suggesting....

Maybe I'm just stupid though.

Woods played well until half-way through the year last year. Since then I think his poor play has been caused by a combination of age/injuries and trying to overcompensate for poor LB play. Woods and Wesley seem to bite on play action more often the past year or so. I would think they are doing that, in part, because they feel they can't rely on the front 7. I also think they are having trouble with yet another new scheme.

This shouldn't be a new scheme to them.

Maybe they suffer from "short-term memory loss"???

You know, Reefers!

Damn, it; Ricky Williams has ruined the ENTIRE league....

j/k

Got paid. Why risk injury on a team going nowhere?

Woods is old and has a steel rod in his leg which he broke 2 years ago. It's no wonder he is slowing down but Wesley should be hitting his prime but for whatever reason he's not. Isn't there another Ed Reed type of player coming out of the draft this year?

Well, there's no doubt the season has gone up in smoke.

Knowing all this, Carl chose to re-sign him to a 6 year deal.
