D. Woodson comment on the SportsBash

Originally posted by proline from a sports forum:

This afternoon on ESPN's "Sports Bash", Darren Woodson was asked when he saw that this team was really crumbling. He said the 1998 draft, but he specifically mentioned Dwayne Goodrich, so he must have meant the 2000 draft.

His comment was that as soon as he saw Goodrich at Spring mini-camps, he knew the kid couldn't play. He went on to say that he knew then that every one of the guys picked in that draft would never be any good.

In fairness, if Galloway and McNight had not been so injury prone, at least two of our seven picks (we traded our 1st and our 3rd for Galloway and McNight) would have been nice. But the analysis of the talent coming out of college was definitely way off base that year.

BTW, Woodson also said that he didn't think this TO pill-gate would be a distraction to the team. He said if we lose this Sunday, the blame will be put on the distractions of pill-gate, but the reality will be poor play.
