Carey Woods

[WFBisonFan]

He's my sleeper for a breakout game this weekend. He has been a disappointment in IMHO. I'm not bashing, just an observation. However, I think with Zach more than likely out, he has the chance to step up and be the deep threat that he was recruited to be.

I'll hang up and listen.

Yea he does. Been a disappointing year for him this year IMHO after some of the plays he made last year.

We need some other WR's to step up. What has happened with guys like Perkins, Gray, and Warren where they don't contribute at all? Just not getting the kind of developemtn that we would have hoped or what? I feel like we are so thin at the WR position of quality players it is sad.

Or could it be we are blessed with 2 5th year seniors and a absolute stud freshman? So not much chance to show their abilities???

It's called a depth chart for a reason. Not everyone can start, but they should always be ready to perform at a high level when their number is called.

While it is true that not everyone can start Gray isn't even seeing the field. Wrice has played a few snaps in jet sweeps, but that class ofWRs is suspect, and there is no evidence they even sniffed Weincke. So it is hard to envision them ready to perform at a high level but I hope you are right.

You're right, high level was probably not the right words to use. Thinking "next man up" I guess. JW from SDSU is on an whole 'nother level.

[HerdBot]

Carey is a good receiver but he just needs to be consistent. He can't have drops in the endzone during the playoffs. I can think of at least 3 or 4 drops this year. Just needs to get his confidence up. Kid made some just freakish athletic catches and runs in high school that made you just go wow! Saw some glimpses of that last year... check out the 5:50 mark. That's just being a good athlete.

Our collective WR group has a total of 91 catches on the season (Vraa + Smith had 121 between only the 2 of them last year). The entire unit averages 7 catches a game. That isn't much at all. I understand we have really good TE's/FB/RB's than can catch, but other than an occasional big play from the passing team that have been few and far between, we don't get much at all from the WR group. Vraa has been the epitome of a consistent WR and Urzendowski has made some very nice plays and is on his way to a very nice career, but we haven't had a big play down the field WR since I can't remember when.

Vraa is Vraa, he's a great possession WR, Urzendowski has made some nice plays, Gebhart averages 1.2 catches a game, and I couldn't stop hearing about how great Gray and Warren were going to be when they came in and they are already RS sophomores and don't even see the field. Perkins was a Ryan Smith clone according to alot of armchair QB's here.

I don't think it's a concern or anything, but it is a curious question.

Would be nice, but he has not shown that he can have anything other than a sub-par game. It will be a heavy running game-plan mixed in with a few drop-backs that turn into scrambles.

[td577]

RJ kind of disappeared down the stretch there for a bit. It is good to see him back contributing again.

Woods has some wheels, but he takes a bit to get going. I would like to see some crossing routes where he gets the ball and an opportunity to do something afterwards. When he is on, he seems to do a good job of finding pockets and sitting in them and being a nice target for CW. If someone misses a tackle on him, he can make it hard for a defender to catch him, but he is not quick. Good top end speed but not that stop and go kind of speed Gray has. If there was an opportunity for Woods to blow up, right now is as good a time as any.

Wait, what Vraa have you been watching? I seem to remember him getting behind defenses quite a bit last year...

How long was RJ's first catch...?

RJ passed Woods, Gray, and Wrice on the depth chart because he is just plain better than those three. Someone needs to step up this week.

[IBleedYellow]

I really hope you're right. To say Woods has been underwhelming this year is an understatement. I can count on both hands the amount of big passes that he has dropped in big 3rd down situations or touchdown situations this season.

We have like 16 on the roster, I hope there is a couple on there that work out. 2 seniors, no juniors, and the rest, well, puppies. Woods and Gray can still grow up and be really good WRs yet.

[onbison09]

It's seems like we've been thin at wide receiver (relatively speaking) for awhile. We also seem to depend on one guy (Warren, Vraa, guess you can throw Smith in there). Am I super far off?

Not what Is happening IMO. With what all was going on on field against SDSU, that was no time to hold anything back. We just aren't nearly as good as 13 and 12 teams were, but may be good enough. Doubt we can beat ISUr tho.

His position dictates he sees SS or LB coverage, especially if we motion correctly. Pretty sure an SDSU LB was covering him on TD, but could be wrong. We create matchup we want by positioning and motion.

I think this offense is hard to defend because you have no clue where cw will go. 10 different receivers with multiple TDs, if my memory serves me right. I'm on my phone, so I ain't going to go look it up exactly. Compared to most teams with 3, that is spreading the wealth around. I wouldn't really change my coverage package for anyone, but I would blitz like crazy. It really is the only shot you have. As a defense, you are better off making the Bison offense keep guys in rather than letting CW pick you apart.

He's a big play WR threat like Holloway becayse he got behind defenses "quite a bit last year"?

LMAO ok

Urzendowski has been a big play threat this year. Lets hope he can continue that and somone/a few can step up in Vraa's role. Really good looking freshman.

They looked very good vs UNI. Roberson can make plays, he is a true dual threat and their RB is tough. Their D can give up pts at times though.

Still trying to figure out how that catch by Woods near the goal line was ruled incomplete. Was his shadow out of bounds?

he dropped the ball

[BisonNation11]

he dropped the ball

I think you are confusing a couple of plays. The play Tony is talking about was around the 2 yard line on a scramble by Wentz. It appeared he had both his hands under it and was already kneeling down in bounds. It was a close call but he definitely held on to that one. Gebhart dropped a similar one.

[tony]

he dropped the ball

He had one deflected that he didn't haul in but the one I saw on the sideline was catch.

[EC8CH]

He had one deflected that he didn't haul in but the one I saw on the sideline was catch.

Looked to me like his elbow was down out of bounds when he made the catch. Was so close that had it been ruled a catch on the field it might have stood.

[bri-dog]

Yeah, we re-watched that one several times in slo-mo. The consensus we came up with was that his elbow may have been down out of bounds ever so slightly before he caught it. I wouldn't have overturned it either way.

Have not seen the replay. Was the other one to Woods (over the middle) in the end zone, actually a deflection (like it appeared) or was it a drop.

You can see the play in this video at the 21:40 mark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0ZNfS-Egxg#t=1302). The camera comes over just as the ball gets there and it happens so fast you can't tell.

They gave the SDSU defender credit for a PBU in the box score.

If elbow out "before" touched ball I am very surprised "the crew" didn't call penalty.

I'm really hoping someone beats them. I think that we would be underdogs in a game with them. They absolutely dismantled UNI.

I think if we had a second meeting with UNI it would have a completely different outcome, as well. Especially away from the unidump. UNI was in playoff mode all season. I am not saying teams hold back things in games, but they had to find something extra in every single matchup to exploit to possibly turn the tide their way. Come the second time around for ISUr, there was nothing left they hadn't shown. Every coverage package that goes with different blitz schemes was out there. Every possible different way they could use D. Johnson, for example, was out there. That is the other side effect of being 0-2 starting the season and 4-4 with only 4 games left in the season does to you. Anything and everything you might ever want to keep in your back pocket can't be left there if you want your season to continue past week 12. They prepped for every game like it was a playoff game digging for weaknesses and had to use what they found the first time around.

I think if NDSU were to play them again, they would force UNI into playing defense more straight up. No more packing the middle. No more fronting the receivers on blitz packages. If they did those things, the Bison would audible out into plays with a much higher degree of success against those looks now that they have seen them. The game ISUr saw back in November would have been the game UNI would have liked to have not shown them until December but they had no choice. This time around there were no surprises and against NDSU it wouldn't be much different. UNI was kind of forced to go with what they have been doing because there wasn't a whole lot else out there they could really go to without an overhaul of personnel. What you saw then is what you would see again.

That's why the initial call on the field is so important. There needs to be conclusive evidence to overturn a call and some of these are just to close to call. Geez, did I say 'call' enough there? Haha.

[bisoningrandforks]

[North Side]

best complete game of his career

[td577]

I would of have given him a minus on one play where he wasn't looking for the ball. At this point of the season and Wentz's career, you have to expect the ball on every play because he will change his progression order if he thinks he sees something. I don't think you will see Woods do that again. It will be a reminder to try to look at the field from Carson's perspective and to be ready.

[ndsubison1]

Hopefully this is a turning point for Woods. Nice to see him step up with Vraa out.

[Buffalo.Rider]

The play C. Woods got hurt ... looked like a cheap shot to me by the 2nd SHSU player. Woods had already been upended and was on the way to the turf, therefore he was essentially down. The 2nd SHSU player did nothing to avoid Woods ... instead launched into the air to come down on Woods. Looked like it was with intent to harm to me. (memories of New Orleans against Vikings in the playoffs when some of the NO players targeted Favre) Maybe I'm all wet, but that is the way I saw it (I was not the only one in the room that felt this way BTW ... we saw the replay a couple times.)

The refs let the players play in this game, and NDSU maybe could have been called for some stuff too (perhaps Littlejohn decking the SHSU quarterback?), so perhaps it all evens out over the course of a game.

Nevertheless, still felt Woods injury was not necessary. I hope he recovers fully, no residuals later in life, regardless of whether he plays in 3 weeks at Frisco.

Play to the whistle. A lot of fumbles happen while a player is nearly down. Unfortunate, but I didn't think it was cheap.

IMO, that could have gone either way. But a personal foul if it went against NDSU. If it would have been targeting I would have gone ape shit. Plus CLJ would be out for this NC since it was in the 2nd half. Thankfully it was not.

Carey is a BISON. Period. No reason for anyone to doubt him or talk crap about him. He helped NDSU win 3 titles in his time here. He knew there wasn't a future in football after NDSU & wanted his life to go in another direction.

Please respect that and Thank you Carey cya at Moondance! !

@AlexEganTV: Wide Receiver Carey Woods has left the NDSU Football team. Source tells @ValleyNewsLive it's so he can pursue basketball.

[ndsubison1]

This sucks. I thought he was just finding a role on the team and was becoming a serious playmaker.

I wish him well.

Agreed. WR depth took a big hit. Thought he was going to play a big role this year. Big opportunity for Hawkins and Shepherd.

Bball at Bemidji St? Hed be eligible right away I believe. Also, maybe the football injury has something to do with him pursuing bball? Just speculating...

[56BISON73]

Has he left school?

[onbison09]

Dom collaborated it too. Best of luck

#NDSU (https://twitter.com/hashtag/NDSU?src=hash) WR Carey Woods is leaving the team; more on @WDAYSports6 (https://twitter.com/WDAYSports6) now

[A1pigskin]

Has he left school?

So far from what I've read, he is staying in School. Gates also left the team.

[yukon]

Rumor has it that he has been offered a walk on spot on the Bison basketball program.

Hope that's the case. Bison Nation would love to keep cheering for Carey Woods.

I see Carey Woods scored 52 points in a high school game:

[BisonNeil]

The 2012 class now has 59% attrition. Only slightly less than the 2011 class which has, to date, 70% attrition. Bohl really struggled to adjust his recruiting with the first two deep playoff runs. In the many years I have been tracking attrition rates, these are the first two high attrition rate classes back to back.

[El_Chapo]

Carey Woods = Lawrence Alexander ?

[HerdBoy]

He's got some bball skills. Good for him.

[BisonFanMan10]

He starts workouts with the Bison Basketball team this week.

[ZHerd]

Neat, I hope this works out for him. He looks athletic (can throw it down), and can score from anywhere. One nice thing...he ain't gonna need a year getting physically ready after a couple seasons already on the Kramer plan ;)

[A1pigskin]

Can anyone confirm BB is the route he is taking now?

[Mr Meaty]

BV prefers rumors and speculation. :hide:

Thats what I was looking for. Thanks.

[Tony Almeida]

Wow, this dude looks like he is ready for D1 basketball! Did he have any looks for basketball out of high school?

Could you imagine if he was the answer to LA's departure...I'm excited for him and for Bison basketball!!

[Mr. Burgundy]

He was a borderline offer when Saul and company was looking hard at him. Very good athlete. Didn't shoot it the best and isn't a huge kid. Probably short for his skill set as a wing. Very close to an offer at one point. Will be interesting to see if Bball is his passion and what he's been missing? Shocked u give up scholarship to switch sports and walk on. Will be interesting to see what he brings.

[El_Chapo]

Basketball has always been careys passion. Let's face facts he knew he wasn't going to go pro so might as well ball out and have some fun his senior year. He already won 3 titles not much else to conquer. Can't wait to see the Fourtown Flash hit the Scheels Arena floor

[CaBisonFan]

Wonder how many years of BB eligibility he'll have.

[NorthernBison]

Wonder how many years of BB eligibility he'll have.

No change. Whatever he had left for football is what he has.

[KSBisonFan]

He's used his redshirt year and played 2 years so 2 years of eligibility remaining.

[NDSU '96]

He was offered at MSUM, among other D2s, out of high school.

[HoopsBison]

Want to thank Carey for his efforts on the football field and wish him the best as he takes on basketball.

[Bison03]

Best of luck to Carey as he pursues bball. I hope that this weekend when his name is announced to receive his ring, the crowd gives him a huge ovation.

BV can be pretty rough on players sometimes, comes with the territory I guess, and he got called out on his drops often which is unfortunate. Really thought he flashed some moments of greatness. Gotta point out his bigtime TD catch as a RSFr against UNI in the FFD 2 years ago. Once a Bison, always a Bison!!

Had some huge catches against Coastal Carolina in the playoffs too.

[Elroy]

He was an average WR at best. I hope the fans give the love to Trevor Gebhart who busted his ass four 5 years and made EVERY catch when called upon. PS also best down field blocking WR in recent memory

[El_Chapo]

Woods was a bison. Why do some of u like to hate so much. Carey did his job when asked. Caught some balls and was a bison

[Vet70]

To me it has nothing to do with how good of a receiver he was, but wishing a Bison well with the choices that he makes in life and being pleased that he is staying at NDSU.

[EC8CH]

Disagree about Woods, he was a BISON WR, the best.

Agree about Gebhart, except "Every" catch might be a stretch.

[ndsubison1]

Hurts depth and had a chance to take the next step. Oh well.

PS?
As far as Geb catching every pass you and I must have watched different games.

This is the Carey Woods thread, and he was a Bison, not an average WR at best. Trevor is done playing and he got plenty of accolades and love around here, primarily for his excellent downfield blocking.

[A1pigskin]

Absolutely..........
