Anybody else wondering where Lawrence Timmons has been?

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.

He was drafted to do exactly that. Great forethought and an essential on any resume is a LB who can cover RBs and TEs.

From D!ck Lebeau:

LeBeau on…

How the defense has played at a high level despite all of the injuries
“I think you have to give a great deal of the credit to Lawrence Timmons. He played about four different positions for us this year, that’s hard to do. Sometimes two or three of them in the same game, and that is really hard to do. He has been the guy that we have wheeled around as we have lost some of our players. I think the other factor is that they have all been in the same system, and they play it pretty well. The whole group has assimilated to each new guy as they came in there, and I am very proud of them.”

Yea, what does he know and how dare he complement Timmons who experts on this message board have already determined to be lacking. He doesn't even post at PlanetSteelers and how many games has he watched from his living room lately? Without those two qualifications I think we can safely discount anything he says.

exactly...

Timmons should be tearing it up at every position he plays. Dude is a bust.

This is a fact because I post on PlanetSteelers a lot!

Yes, just because a guy misses tackles on TV doesnt mean he misses them live.
Also, some TV's actually make a guy look like he is getting stonewalled while blitzing but that depends on the resolution

I don't expect someone who is playing 4 positions to never miss a tackle or get stonewalled.

Given how good he looked last year I think shuffling him around has something to do with has lack of splash plays this year.

Felt, that wasnt directed towards you.
I was just having a little fun.
I mean honestly what else would LeBeau say.
