Woodson = Hall of Fame player?

[Smidgeon]

[B]ut he'll be there in the HOF as Packer I hope.

You don't go into the NFL hall of fame as a member of any team. You just get in.

Thanks for the heads up, bro. Guess I didn't know that.

It's different that other sports. I think baseball and basketball both require you to declare a team. But I absolutely agree that Woodson's biggest impact in the NFL has been in GB rather than Oakland.

today might have been the type of day that gets woodson in

his awesome feel good story is everywhere, even the top story on the yahoo homepage.

then with the whole football world watching he goes out and has another of his huge days

11 years - 48 INTs for 7 TDs

WOODSON (playing opposite a good CB in Al Harris - 12years, 21 INTs, 3 TDs)

11.5 years (and counting); 43 INTs and 8 TDs


HOF candidate for sure - if he plays another year or so it's easy. There are 3 in the HOF in the mid 40s for interceptions - and (right now) he has more TDs than anyone in Canton!

[red]

those numbers, and woodson has missed major time in his career

and i don't think those numbers include todays game

45 int's, and 9 td's

[red]

get this, woodson is now tied for second all time for int's returned for tds with 3 other guys

rod woodson holds the record with 12

I included today... and only counted CBs (so 42/8). He has more TDs than any HOF cornerback.

The whole 14 vs. 16 argument is mute with the games he's missed...

[SnakeLH2006]

Thanks for the good stats, Fosco. I didn't realize his numbers were that good already in not even 12 years (several hurt), but the one award he was robbed of was the Golden Gobbler today...Driver was great, but Woodson was better:

6 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INts, 1 Td, 1 forced fumble. Beastman.

[Smidgeon]

6 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INts, 1 Td, 1 forced fumble. Beastman.

7 tackles, 1 fumble recovered as well.

[woodbuck27]

Woodson is the best player on this team, and has been since 2007. He is the 3rd best player in this division, and the 3rd best corner in the league behind Scrabble and Revis.

Loved the signing when it happened, and I love it now.

Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson or flip em.

then Charles Woodson? OK.

[Fosco33]

Bump

[red]

yes

yes he is

[Charles Woodson]

so does that mean Woodson holds the record for most ints returned for tds?

[Fosco33]

He broke the record for CBs when he got 8 (so yeah, he broke his own record).

I think the NFL lumps CBs and Safeties together so there are a few Safeties that have more TDs.
