I don't think Fisher is a good head coach, but this Tweet -- which, in true modern journalism fashion, has been regurgitated by practically every sports news website -- is pushing the "Fisher is an idiot" narrative a little too hard. He was likely referring to Danny Amendola (he only referred to the player by his first name, he didn't ever say "Woodhead"), a player whom he coached in St. Louis and one with excellent YAC ability. He probably just conflated the two players for a second, which is understandable because they are have similar builds and skillsets.
The idea that Fisher thinks Woodhead is still on the Patriots and that this was anything more than a spur-of-the-moment mental lapse is just preposterous.
