Anybody else wondering where Lawrence Timmons has been?

Re: Anybody else wondering where Lawrence Timmons has been?

Every team has a player that has the most tackles but, it doesn't make them an all pro. Some positions just allow for those type of stats. Three sacks are nothing to brag about.

I'm talking about Timmons being a guy that is distruptive, causes offenses troubles and the need for offenses to focus upon.

Put any other average Joe in at Timmons position and you get the same production.

Okay, then...he had 7 sacks in his first year as a starter in 2009. He had 5 sacks in 2008 (when he only had 2 starts).

I can't go back and watch game films to see what sacks he got where he runs over someone to get to the Qb though I doubt that is the case.

We had Gildon that I think is our sack leader of the team and to me he was still a scrub. If it wasn't for QB's running into him he wouldn't have 75% of his sacks. The other 25% were when no one was blocking him. I'm talking about wanting Timmons to be a a distruptive force on our team like Woodley and Harrison and he is not.

Fine, you like the guy and I have no problem with that. I'll go with, what has he done of late ?

I'll keep my eye on him this Sunday and try to see what you guys are seeing.

Ah so! I just started checking some of his posts and see where you're coming from. Already found some references to identities suggesting this in several posts. Need more time. The "Domino" post and "The Biggest Crock" seem to fit the profile.

Is this speculation on your part? "My bad" is I read almost all these posts but since I have a small screen I frequently have no idea who is doing the posting. Regardless, that's the kind of stuff that makes these boards interesting and fun to read.

That's not very disrespectful to Gildon is it.

Re: Anybody else wondering where Lawrence Timmons has been?

I guess I am being rough on Timmons being he is doing a lot of aout of position playing. Lots to think about during those out of normal position playing.
I still think he is an underachiever but I will echo again, tough to be at your best when your asked to shuffle around so much.

He beat a guy for a sack today and played well in coverage..

Re: Anybody else wondering where Lawrence Timmons has been?

Timmons did have the kind of game I've been expecting out of him so congradulations to Timmons.

Did I hear the annoucer correctly that, they had taken the sack off him and said the QB gained a yard on the play ?

Re: Anybody else wondering where Lawrence Timmons has been?

Timmons was our leading tackler today and was credited with a sack, a tfl, a pass defensed and another QB hit...not a bad day at the office.

thanks. that was a great play by troy. if there are any other teams or fans that wouldn't want troy on their team they would be nuts.

Re: Anybody else wondering where Lawrence Timmons has been?

Chadman will just say, again, that when the players around him perform their jobs excellently, Timmons excels. Case in point today- the DL played very well, Harrison was back taking some of the blocking away from timmons- the result- outstanding game.

It all depends on what you expect from each INDIVIDUAL on the defense. Do you expect Harrison to cover WR's? Troy to nullify OL blockers?

Timmons is a missile, that, when given the right opportunities, can make game changing plays.

If you expect him to be an EVERYTHING player, you're looking at the wrong guy. But as a pass covering, fast, impact ILB that can tackle- he's your guy.

Some just can't quit questioning a decision that made in a draft years ago and actually watch what is happening on the field. Timmons was actually covering WRs yesterday. Pretty impressive for anyone willing to give credit where it is due because he has done that in spots all year long.

Timmons is by far our best coverage LB, something that is very necessary in today's pass-happy NFL.

Timmons played well yesterday, good for him and even better for the Steelers.
Heres to hoping he continues this type of play in Denver.
I'll take nothing less than 2 forced fumbles on Tebow.
