This is New England Patriots running back/special teamer Danny Woodhead, looking to make a tackle on Bucs rookie kick returner Jock Sanders in Thursday night's preseason game.
What Woodhead is not looking for, however, was Bucs safety Devin Holland, who took advantage of that fact to try to use his head to cave in Danny Woodhead's head.
The good news? Danny Woodhead says he feels fine, though given the way he stumbled around after the hit, I'd have a hard time believing he didn't suffer at least a mild concussion. We'll keep an eye on his status for next Saturday's game against Detroit.
As for Devin Holland, undrafted rookie out of McNeese State, I'm sorry, but that's inexcusable. There are a lot of ways you can defend the guy -- he's a rookie, he's out there trying to make an impression on the coaches, etc. I'm not unsympathetic.
But there's no escaping the fact that he put his helmet into Danny Woodhead's helmet, and the league's not going to let that slide. He's a first-time offender (perhaps last time, too), so it won't be in the $20,000 range like it was for Ndamukong Suh, but it will be something.
