Maybe we were fortunate not to get Woody?

Of course, it all makes sense now...
Detroit was loose with it's money..... and they had a BIG HOLE to fill.

Can't fault the Lions for identifying a need and finding the right tool for the job.

Not the right tool at that price. We got a guard just as good and alot less expensive in Jeno James.

This is a player who has had weight issues for his entire career. He's been an underachiever up until his contract season, and then he decides to get himself into shape and play well.

Why do you think the Pats didn't fight hard to keep him? They are replacing him with Russ Hochstein, who according to Warren Sapp, is the worst offensive lineman in the NFL.

Working Woody hard and often will make the weight come off quickly.

James is no Woody. It would have been nice to have both.

I think you're living too much off of reputation. I would much rather see James at half the price than if we had signed Woody. Wish we had been able to sign Tait even at a high price but James + lower contract > Woody + overpayed contract.
