But the FO analysis does take situation into consideration.And there's the flaw in the logic that you're using, IMO. You can't assume that Woodhead's performance would stay at its current level over a larger number of touches. He's already touching the ball only in situations that are optimized for his success. That's not a knock on him: it's a compliment to Bill Belichick, who understands how to use his players efficiently. Woodhead almost never runs the ball against a defense that is intent on stopping the run. He takes the field almost entirely in pass-first formations, and exploits the fact that the defense is first and foremost preoccupied with stopping Brady. He's a good player, but if you asked him to carry the ball 315 teams, he wouldn't get anything even close to 1400 yards, and that's assuming that he could carry the ball 315 times (he couldn't).
The Jets' don't currently have an equivalent for how we use Woodhead, because they don't have nearly as much use as we do for a back like that. BJGE is a far better comparison to how the Jets use LT, and even that isn't really fair. You just can't overestimate how beneficial it is to a RB to play in an offense where Brady, Welker, and our TEs are all on the field. Brady makes every down a potential passing down, and the same can't really be said for Sanchez. Half the time that LT runs, everyone in the building knows he's about to run.
Guys like Woodhead require vision, adaptability, and creativity on the part of the coaching staff to effectively utilize. It's no surprise that the Jets couldn't get anything out of him, while the Pats have made him an integral part of the best offense in the NFL. OTOH, LT could step into pretty much any offense and produce. The one major negative on him at this point in his career is that he has a ton of mileage on him, so he wears down over the course of the year if you don't limit his carries (as we're seeing now. Shonn Greene's disappearance is doubly killing the Jets by breaking LT down). The same can be said for Woodhead, though, for different reasons. There isn't a team in the league that would even try to run Woodhead as many times as LT has this season.
It accounts for Tomlinson running on 1st and 10 vs Woodhead running on 3rd and 6.
