Colon Playing; Woodley Out...Again!

[Oviedo]

Woodley is really getting to be unreliable

Guard Willie Colon participated fully in practice Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers at Heinz Field. Colon missed the previous two games with a knee injury.
If Colon starts, the Steelers are expected to move Maurkice Pouncey back to center. Pouncey started at left guard for the first time in his career against Baltimore last week, while Doug Legursky got the start at center.

• Linebacker LaMarr Woodley will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury. Also out is cornerback Ike Taylor (ankle) and tackle Mike Adams (ankle), while quarterback Byron Leftwich (ribs) is listed as questionable.

Yep and the way Worilds play on that side, it wouldn't hurt me a bit if he's a cap casualty.

[pittpete]

This will be the 9th start he missed in a year and 3/4's

[Steelhere10]

Maybe being a little overweight for a LB has something to do with it.

I hear what all y'all are saying. He is too fat and he is hurt way too often. Being that we are going to be so over the cap, I wouldn't mind seeing him go, at this point, in all honesty. If you miss this many games, what good are you? Worilds is playing BETTER than him any how.

so we are cutting woodley now too, huh.

lol.

lol.

Yep! lmao. People are crazy. 1. You don't cut Woodley. 2. I haven't looked in to it but wouldn't cutting him cost the Steelers some significant cash against the cap? 3. Moronic notion no matter the answer for 2.

according to posters here Woodley, Harrison, Troy, Ike, Hampton, Ziggy, Foote, Mendy, Wallace, Colon, Leftwich, and Batch are not earning their money.

cut them all...

Woodley isn't apt to be cut because of the cap hit. But as far as the return he's provided on that big contract? He's getting to be pretty expensive.

Ben, Heath, and Clark may be the only players left standing if the board decides.

according to posters here Woodley, - Yes, totally isn't worth the $ spent.

Harrison, - No one is saying that now, but when he wasn't playing and then when he came back as a shell of himself, yes
he wasn't earning his $ them, but he is now, starting like 2 games ago.

Troy, - Ummm, how can you even attempt to argue he was worth his $ before last week. He should earn it now, unless he gets hurt, AGAIN

Ike, - I didn't see anyone post that, other than after the one game where he got scorched and flagged all day

Hampton, - He's started to play better, but he wasn't doing jack to start the season.

Ziggy, - Some claim he is soft and worthless, but I don't. He has come on.

Foote, - Some think he's soft, I think he has been a good player for us this season

Mendy, - He VERY MUCH isn't worth his $. Or why did Tomlin not even dress him? Are you suggesting a player who is told not to even dress is worth his $?

Wallace, - 46th-best receiver. He is just producing wonderfully.

Colon, - Once again, missing games from being hurt. Back this week.

Leftwich, -

and Batch - After the Cleveland game, what did you expect people to assert?

Ben, Heath, and Clark may be the only players left standing if the board decides.

No one has been griping about Pouncey, Dwyer, Starks, Foster, Brown, Heyward, Keisel, Timmons, Lewis, et al. You guys have just exaggerated to a simply silly level with these assertions.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

actually it was your "assertion" that we think about cutting woodley that took it to a silly level.

Someone griped about Pouncey's injury in the post season. Dwyer was ripped for being fat and lazy. Everyone gripes about the OL... Timmons is still considered a bust by some on the board.

People are insane for wanting guys cut for missing a few games. Its football, it happens... the only guy I ripped for injuries is A. Smith late in his career because every injury was season ending.

i cant believe how many 'fans' are ok with players that fake injury or dont play thru minor bumps and bruises, dont give their all and underperform just because they wear the black and gold.
