March 24, 2013Quick-hit thoughts around NFL and Pats
New England Patriots Blog | ESPN Boston — Quick-hit thoughts around the NFL and with the Patriots: 1. The Seahawks used running back Leon Washington sparingly on offense in his three seasons with the club, with Washington playing 372 total snaps from 2010-12. His 73 offensive snaps last season were a career-low. For perspective, Danny Woodhead played 423 offensive snaps last season. It's possible the Patriots see something the Seahawks don't, but if I had to guess, the New England coaching staff probably views Washington as the club's primary kickoff returner and more of an emergency option/niche player on offense.
