Maybe LaMarr Woodley has been more effective than we think.

On the Ravens’ preview podcast (http://www.steelerslounge.com/2010/12/steelers-lounge-podcast-21-steelers-ravens-preview-tony-dungy/), Ryan, Gretz and I mentioned how we hoped Woodley would have a big game against the Ravens, and how he’d seemed somewhat disappointing as a pass rusher.

But that was before I saw these stats. Football Outsiders has a team of volunteers that chart each and every game. And among their stats they log are quarterback hits, hurries and who induces holding calls.

According to FO’s stats (http://footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2010/2010-hits-and-hurries), Woodley is fourth in the league in quarterback hurries this year in addition to his 6.5 sacks. Through the first 10 games of the season, Woodley is averaging 2.4 hurries per game. James Harrison is averaging 1.8 hurries per game (tied for 15th in the league)..........................

Good info stillers. Thanks for posting.

I still wouldn't re-sign him if he's asking for $45+ million in guaranteed.

I'd rather put the tag on him and get a deal done the next year where the 30% rule doesn't handcuff us.
