If any player should understand the importance of sacking quarterbacks, it's Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley. He's the only player in NFL history to record at least two sacks in four consecutive playoff games.

Woodley's final sack in Super Bowl XLIII preserved the Steelers' 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Woodley dropped Kurt Warner for a 5-yard loss and forced a fumble. Brett Keisel recovered with 5 seconds remaining, and Ben Roethlisberger took a knee to end the game.

"When your number is called, you have to take advantage of it," Woodley said.
Woodley is a pass-rushing specialist with 39 career sacks in 60 regular-season games, placing him 10th on the franchise's all-time list.

He's even more dangerous in the postseason, registering eight sacks in only four career games..................

It is time for him to get hot and start getting to the quarterback it is now or never it is crunch time.

Time to move up that list and get out from under the shadow of Polamalu and Harrison. Timmons is on your tail too, better look in the rearview and stop thinking about your current game check.

The Steelers are famous for showcasing star linebackers such as Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, Andy Russell, Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd and Joey Porter. Woodley, defensive captain James Farrior, Lawrence Timmons and fellow outside linebacker James Harrison represent the team's newest tandem of playmaking linebackers.

That is one hell of a list!!!!

Most of his sacks this season came when
1. The QB tripped
2. A TE goes 1on1
3. They completely ignored him

We're going to need their pass rushing prowess more than ever for our divisional game. We're gonna get the Colts, aka the #1 passing attack in the league. Bank on it!
