Danny Woodhead avoids serious ankle injury

I’ve been kind of surprised how Woody has yet to really get going this year. The emergence of Ridley has certainly covered that up though. Each week I predict big things for Woodhead but he hasn’t really delivered yet other than a couple long runs here and there.

Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald reports:

I’ve learned that Woodhead escaped major damage on his ankle, and there is no broken bone or torn ligament. It is a sprain. It’s just not clear how bad it is or whether he’ll miss Sunday’s game against the Jets.

 

The first day is always the worst, and I’m sure it’s swollen. But the plan is for the Patriots to see how it responds to treatment and see how much better it gets. That’s one reason why it has been so hard to pin down a timetable. It all depends on how the ankle reacts over the next few days.

I think the more they get acclimated, the more comfortable they play, the more confident they’ll be and we’ll start seeing them play a lot more aggressively,” said Johnson. “We have a lot of playmakers, guy that can make plays, and you would feel a little bit more of that when guys become more accustomed to what we’re asking them do. I’m not going to pile more on their plate, I just want them to do it more aggressively, more often, with more consistency.

Cromartie fires the first volley of Jets-Patriots.

And after last year’s foot escapades with Welker I don’t expect we’ll hear anything back from the Patriots this year.

“If you want to be a professional, be a professional,” Cromartie had said in January. “You’ve been there before scoring touchdowns, so go back to the sidelines … I hope he’ll throw the ball 10 times my way … Let the scoreboard speak for itself, which it did the last game. Let your play speak for itself. Don’t look at our sideline. That’s the biggest sign of disrespect.”

Eight months later he’s singing the same tune.

“What I said last year, I meant it,” Cromartie told Glauber. “I’m not going to take back anything. I’m definitely looking forward to this rivalry game. I still have the same feelings. Feelings don’t change. Whatever I said last year is not going to change.”

Belichick said on WEEI yesterday that the Oakland game was Brady’s most impressive of the year, based on his audibles and decision making. Of course it’s not hard when Wes Welker is getting open every single down.

I’m very curious to see how the Jets deal with Welker. A one on one all day versus Revis would be fascinating to watch.
