    BigRob I agree with you and felt the same way when I heard the annoucer speak about Worilds and Harrison. Who better than Harrison to lead by example on how to be a linebacker that gets to the QB and can stop the run and can play the pass ?
    I was a little taken back with Worilds at the start because I thought he was too good to be real when I heard all the positives about him. I hope he continues to prove me wrong.

      The weight room with Harrison and the buffet with Hampton. Whatever it is, he's gotten big and he's the next big thing on this defense.

        Worilds on the rise, but what about Woodley. Is playing OLB and chasing in coverage causing his legs to give out and have problems? He is a big, solid muscular guy who IMO best fits as a 4-3 DE.

          They should move Woodley to the middle but as some say, he doesn't like to make the run stops. I understand you need to be smart to play the middle since your the QB of the defense. Woodley doesn't seem to have the desire to be that guy.

            As much as we all hate to think about it, James Harrison is closer to the end of his career than the beginning. The fact that Worilds is playing well is a good thing, because it will be him and Woodley for the next 6-7 years (hopefully) wreaking havoc on NFL football fields near you.

              Unfortunately, they're both built to play the same position.

                I would still grab a pass rush specialist in the upcoming draft because I'm not sure we can rely on Woodley...and I don't mean a 2-3 year conversion project!!!!!

                  That may be, but Worilds has filled in for Harrison with Woodley on the other side and I would have to think that is plan 'A' when James hangs up the uniform or maybe they go 4-3.

                    Well, I have to think safety and NT are at the top of the hit list this upcoming draft, but I'm sure if a player they covet happens to fall in their lap they'll take him like they always do when the BPA is player that they never expected to see at their draft position. I don't think there's any need to panic on a pass rushing specialist. I believe James has at least one more good year left and maybe two.

                    They might have to ask him to restructure, but that would be okay, if he's a candidate for such a tactic.

                        James is so 1970s football; one of my all time favorite Steelers to be sure.

                          "4-3" Now you're talking Pappy!!!!!

                          Put Woodley at DE and he may actually be able to play in a few games.

                              Move Woodley to the middle of what? Levon Kirkland only comes around once in a lifetime.
                              Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                              Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                              We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                              We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                                Kirkland was a beast in his day. I swear, had we won the 95 Super Bowl against the Cowboys, I bet Kirkland would have gotten MVP of thegame. He played that well that day.
