Micheal Rodney is speaking some heresy over at PU. 

I tend to disagree with him. Woody's a great leader for the younger players. And I think jumping the ball to go for the INTs helped us this year. He may have gambled and lost plenty of times, but those turnovers are the only thing that got the defense off the field this year.

As for Tramon, he was hurt much of the year, and for Shields, he's gonna have an offseason in the system for the first time. Don't forget Davon House. But I'd still keep Woody.

At LEAST until we know whether Collins will be back.

They were too arrogant to do the dirty work of tackling this year, preferring instead to shoot for the highlight-reel moment. Maybe they thought if they showed up enough times on SportsCenter, they would be due for pay raises.
