Woodson has played a few more games, but I think the stats show a clear superiority in overall impact in the games he played.
Woodson is:

+16 in sacks
+23 in forced fumbles
+6 in interceptions
+8 in touchdowns
+154 tackles
Leave it to Patler to come back with numbers When you have great players, playing great, well that’s great football! /Madden

Seriously, despite playing the same position in the same era, they were quite different players. Wood did have more impact all over the field, but Bailey didn't just make it 10 on 10, he made it 10 on 10 with the offense not having their #1WR, not the same thing. That ability to take out a #1WR is why Deon was, and Revis is, the highest paid CBs in the league.

Thing is, I mostly agree with you, I'm playing a bit of devil's advocate here because I think you can't discount Bailey.
