So let's talk about Danny Woodhead

That's why they should run the ball in the red zone more.

Of course. The problem is that when Mathews is in the game the opponent knows its most likely a run play

I totally agree, a screen or 3 with Mathews might help that out.

He's averaging 4.4 YPC. Run it.

(I know YPC is generally lower in the red zone but I want to see them run it anyway.)

When you're down in the redzone, opponents know we'll most likely run if Mathews is in. But then again, when he's not in opponents know we're just gonna be pass happy at the goalline, and we'll only run using the same tired draw play with woodhead.

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

We nred to have Mathews run the fumblerooskie play for the pure irony!

Woodhead looked good as a KR. Not fast but still got good returns

[TorchedbyRivers]

Woodhead did look good as a KR. Huge improvement from Richard Goodman. Woodhead fights for every single yard whenever he is on the field.

[KNSD]

Would it be crazy to have BOTH Woodhead and Mathews on the field during certain down and distances? .

No blocking back = nickel defense ---> Negates Woodheads effectiveness.

PFF:

- As a receiver out of the backfield only Darren Sproles can match Danny Woodhead’s remarkable productivity. Sproles leads the NFL as a halfback in Yards per Route Run with 2.66 but Woodhead is second with 2.17 and Woodhead has a knack of getting into the end zone with two more touchdowns.

We lose without Woodhead's back to back catches on the final drive. His ability to juke the 1st defender and still get out of bounds was huge. Play of the game except the final TD.

I thought the one hand catch by Allen was the play that gave us the momentum. But those plays by Woodhead and Tutu were clutch, something this team is generally missing.
