Wow, a panicky thread on Linebackers, who'd a thunk it?

Someone could argue there is a worse starter on the D than Woods, but it would be a tough battle. One way to look at it is someone has to be the worst, and it's Woods.

Look on the bright side -- the Steelers worst player on offense was their left tackle, and yet they still were able to win the SB.

Hopefully the Pats can overcome Woods lack of ability. (Or preferably, someone else steps up -- because I agree he has yet to show starter ability.)

That was a fumble recovery. If you recover the ball on the ground, and no one is around you, you have possession. As soon as the defender touched him, he was down. Bad call by the refs.

And even worse NO CHALLENGE by Belichick, one of many mistakes BB made that game.

Obvious statement of the century : Woods isn't LT. SBs have, however, been won without LT.

BradyFTW!

Who *would* be sold on Woods? There's nothing to be particularly sold on at this point. When he started last year, he was capable. Not great, not irreplaceable, not even necessarily good, but he didn't make the team worse by being out on the field. If that's the worst-case scenario for opening-day OLB, which it seems to be, then I can live with it. Maybe Crable will supplant him soon. Maybe not. Either way, the extent to which people are freaking out and harping on this is kinda stupid.

The is one dumb thread as the DPY was harrison a UDFA like woods someone who got kept getting cut and was a fringe player .woods was never a fringe player. Yet harrison took a few years to move from DE to OLB........

I am sure you knew he was great when he was being cut and was 25 ?.

Woods and Wright did a good job in the 3 games he played. when thomas was swapped from ILB and OLB he played behind seymour. raven ran just right at him.Look at the game woods started ,him and wright held up better than expected. Warren is a upgrade over Wright so woods is going to better this year.

Guyton!!! He is a good 3rd down player. He has the speed and lanky presence to be in on 3rd downs.I have no clue why you want to beat him up against gaurds and pulling tackles and put him IR.

Crabel - This guy could not even make the active roster till he got IRed.Yet you feel he is better than woods ?. I have to see him perform against 1st team offence before i believe.the guys he played against are in walmart now.


The steelers have drafted 10 LB and 4 in the first round ...btw and yet the LB that is DPY is a UDFA fringe player for years and did not start contributing after 26-27

The problem is that the facts have been pointed out to these people time and again. They either don't care or they aren't capable of processing the ramifications of those facts.
