Alphadawg7 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I swear, it feels like most the time when a pass is thrown his way he either falls to the ground catching it, stumbles after the catch into an easy tackle, or falls before the ball even gets there. Can someone please get this guy a new pair of cleats? I can't remember the last time I saw him catch a pass and run and let someone else tackle him rather than stumbling into a tackle. Im sure it happens, but all his stumbling is all I can remember. On second thought, how about someone enroll him into ballet classes so he can learn some balance and how to use his feet.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 He also seems to be on the receiving end of a lot of shoelace balls and ones he needs to dive for. Maybe the latter is due to him not being able to plant and go hard enough though, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I overall think he just isn't engaged. His comments about having to block so much, his body language on the sidelines, and overall drop in targets.

His comments about having to block so much, his body language on the sidelines, and overall drop in targets. I think he's just no there mentally this season Makes no sense considering he works his ass off every time he is asked to block and tries like hell on the pass plays, too. He does lose his balance a lot, and his concentration on some drops is unusual for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the table Karlos Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I overall think he just isn't engaged. His comments about having to block so much, his body language on the sidelines, and overall drop in targets. I think he's just no there mentally this season he is usually smiling and seems very happy when the cameras are on him on the sidelines. He was high fiveing rex. We throw the ball 20 times a game.... everyone's targets are down.it seems like a lot of players fall or slip on the turf at The Ralph but Woods does seem to fall more than most the field is very slippery if there is any moisture. The blades of "grass" are smooth plastic or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainwampus Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It's the Ralph's slippery A turf. Clay, McCoy and Watkins have all slipped on it many times this season. It's happening every season. The A turf is crap. The whole league knows it. Bills are the only professional team that uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevWarRifleman Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I noticed the same thing. They practice some through the week on the Ralph turf, but his feet sure seen to slip out from under him, especially so for a WR. Reminds me of that "I've fallen & I can't get up" ad. Pathetic.

BillsFan130 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Woods really annoys me on this offence. I get that he's a good blocker but he's the 2nd receiver on the depth chart position and he needs to produce more and stop falling / dropping passes as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 While Woods had a nice TD catch, he also tripped over himself in the endzone which could have been another TD. I don't get Woods as he seems to be out of place with his routes, the dropped passes, etc... I don't know if he's not running the routes correctly or is not in sync as he should be with Taylor, but he seems to be off the ball a lot this season as he's diving for balls that are nowhere near him or not even close to where Taylor is throwing at. He's been a great blocking WR, but so far he's proven that he is not a #2 WR. I know the guy is still young and hopefully he will improve, but for all the hype about the guy being NFL ready out of the draft, he's underwhelmed so far.

Turbosrrgood Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) I'm glad some other people are finally calling this out. Woods has been a huge disappointment in my eyes since year 2. The way he uses his feet and positions his body before attempting to make a catch, he sabotages himself every time. Combine that with below average speed, size, and hands, and you have a guy who is not good enough to be a top 2 WR in the NFL. I think the Bills realized this when they picked up Harvin, and then slotted Hogan above him in many situations when Harvin got hurt. Unfortunately combined with the bad misses on Graham and Goodwin, they are still in the market for a #2 WR. Hogan on the other hand has overachieved. He has done well, considering he isn't particularly gifted in any one area. However he also shouldn't be a #2.

He has done well, considering he isn't particularly gifted in any one area. However he also shouldn't be a #2. I am with you. I thought Woods had a promising rookie year - was a bit underwhelming last year and has been a disappointment so far this year. I didn't like the pick up of Harvin and am on record here as saying that at the time - that was bound to end in failure he is an often injured gadget player and nothing more - but it shouldn't be seen as defending Robert Woods. Hogan for me is a 3. I think he is better than the third guy on a number of teams around the league and gets better every year. I have been a supporter of Hogan against the criticism he has received repeatedly on this forum from people who decided what he was when attempting to prop up D'Rick "I don't learn plays" Rodgers two years ago and refuse to accept that he has proven them wrong. However, even I as the biggest Hogan fanboy going do not think he is a bona fide NFL #2. They have to keep trying to cobble together enough plays from Hogan, Woods and Clay to support Watkins in the passing game - but they have to look for a #2 in the offseason. Woods has proven not to be the answer sadly. The truth long term though is that once they have to pay Sammy like a true #1 (and they will) they wont be able to afford a bona fide #2 anyway unless they draft that guy and get him cheap for 4 years.... so expect around him it to be a succession of one contract draft picks and solid role players such as Chris Hogan.

Cassel also seemed to have trouble hitting Woods. For some reason, probably because they started at same time, EJ and Woods seem to be in sync.

jumbalaya Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Woods' slippers couldn't grip the turf. He fell almost every play.

I believe he even hand-sewed Cornelius bennett's cleats, and Bennett never slipped. IIRC back then, they didn't wear cleats at Rich Stadium. That turf was practically green paint on concrete. They wore "turf" shoes - basically basketball shoes with hundreds of round "cleats" on the bottom. The turf at the Ralph really needs an upgrade. I'd love to see grass like Green Bay. The Pegulas' money should bail us out on that, but with a new stadium in the works, I wonder if they will just wait it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
