A Worild of Difference

Explosive! He now leads the Steelers with 5 sacks.

And, despite what you may read on this board, he beat a blocker to earn that sack...he can do that...

4 tackles, 2 sacks, holding penalty called because of him, and he played the run well. Sometimes it just takes a guy a few years to get going.

Just ask James Harrison.

I didn't know what to think of Worilds when we drafted him. I know the coaches or at least Tomlin was excited about him if I remember correctly.. Worilds shows he has the ability to be good to great and I hope gets it all together for this team and that the coaches play him more if he does.

Worilds had a 1.58 ten yard split at the combine on his forty.

Consider that Bruce Irvin (Seattle) was considered a one trick pass rushing pony and had a 1.57 yard split at a lighter weight. Anything sub 1.6 is considered elite pass rushing explosiveness.

Be glad to see if he can stay healthy through this season and the offseason.

Yeah, health has always been a big question with Worilds. He played well yesterday.

In addition to his stats, he also broke up a pass when he rocked the guy bobbling the ball.

[RuthlessBurgher]

It is weird seeing that big ol' 93 running around...I always think of Joel Steed...if Worilds shed a few pounds, maybe I wouldn't anymore.

Worilds seems to play a lot better when he plays on the left in place of Woodley than when he fills in for Harrison on the right. if I remember correctly, Worilds played LDE at Va Tech, seems like he is a lot more comfortable on that side.

[flippy]

Worilds is a beast at LOLB. He's mediocre on the right.

I keep thinking he's fast Casey Hampton. When you look at the 3 quickly, sometimes it looks like an 8.

[Steelerphile]

I've liked the guy for a while. It seems he is finally about healthy. He has the ability to be a real playmaker.

Next year put Woodley on blind side. Woirlds on left side and put Harrison next to Timmons. Think James could handle the middle? I do he can"t be weaker than Foote.

Harrison is only going to be here if we re-sign him to the veteran minimum after cutting him in February.

Our cap condition is atrocious. We are conservatively going to be 20 to 30 million dollars over the cap. This factors all of the URFA, RFA tenders, and players who have huge cap hits.

[Chadman]

Wasn't Chris Carter's combine stats comparable to Worilds as well?

How did it get so out of hand ? I thought the Stelers always did well in this area ?

By doing something they never used to do in the name of the Superbowl chase: Sign players to a third contract and keeping players on the wrong side of 30.

Perfect storm of trying to keep a Superbowl team together as long as possible and the contraction of the cap after the lockout.
