Tomlin just said that Woodley and Harrison will be practicing and that their availability for the game will be based off of how they practice. He also said that depending on the LB situation, we may play some 4-3 on Sunday.

According to the report we're also going to be without Farrior and Harrison for at least this game and probably wont have them again until after our bye.

You can't rush a hammy. Best to bite the bullet and let him regain full health for the final 6 games.Originally Posted by steeldevil
I'm guessing Harrison needs a couple weeks to get his core strength back? With a broken orbital I would imagine you'd have to go easy on the weights, and without leg drive and body torque Harrison isn't Harrison.
"A man's got to know his limitations."
Yeah. Tomlin basically said the story is just that...a story. Woodley is questionable and will practice in some form or fashion and a decision will be made then.

Trying to be glass half full, here....that should give the ratfilths something else to plan against and think about during the week.

Steelers lose this game vs the Ravens , hello fighting for the Wild Card

While obviously that's not the path any of us would choose, 3 out of the last 5 Super Bowl winners traveled that path, so it wouldn't be the end of the world either.

That's gonna really suck if Woodley's out too. Not having James is bad enough but without Wood and also Farrior, we're gonna be hurting. We NEED to win this game and it's gonna be real tough without those guys available.

I'm guessing we'll see a lot of Cameron Heyward this week. Maybe Worldis will get his ass out of the ice tub too this week?
"A man's got to know his limitations."
Woodley posted of Facebook from the trainers room "Don't rule me out just yet"... So well see... I would like to see another game of man to man D though.
This is really bad, we really need Woodley or Harrison playing

Worilds has to step up!
or at least play....

...and the panic ensues.
He's listed as questionable...why panic?!? From Tomlons mouth.
Worilds...lol. Wrong answer.
Array title="GodfatherofSoul is a jewel in the rough">
Maybe the same guy who started supplying Woodley with smelling salts will call Timmons? He needs to wake up now, too.

My first reaction is to panic.
Then I calm myself down, and remember all the other times I paniced and this team surprised the you know what out of me. We are in a much better position than if the Rats were missing Suggs and Ray Ray. Our offense is fully capable of outscoring Flacco any day if the defense is not up to par.

The STEEL CURTAIN!!!!
All Defense!
That's why these kid are on the team being groomed...this is "birth by fire". What they lack in experience, they hopefully will make up for with youthful exuberance.
All they need to do is play within the scheme...the rest will take care of itself.

Not good news. Let's score 40 and be done with the Birds.
Yeah hopefully the offense just scores a lot of points. And hopefully Flacco has one of his "I suck" games. If we can play like we did against the Pats* then he just might.
Well at least our secondary has been stepping it up. Let's see if they can keep doing it while our linebacker corp gets healthy. Any word on Chris Hoke's health?
OK, no time to panic. Just time to adapt. As much as I would like to see some more of Carter. How about moving Keisel to OLB for a game and go with Heyward and Hood on the D-line. A LB corp of Foote and Sylvester inside with Keisel and Timmons outside. Put your best players on the field!!!
I think if Woodley misses this game, we better start using Timmons a little bit at ILB and OLB. I just do not feel comfortable about the pass rush we're going to get out of Timmons/Worilds/Carter from the outside. And Im not comfortable with Sylvester holding it down in the middle the entire time. The Ravens will try to pound Rice at us a lot if Foote an Sly are there. I know stats dont tell the whole story but Sly didnt even record a stat in the Pats game as a starting ILB.
Array title="The Duke is just really nice">
if we were playing someone other than Flacco I'd be worried. The Cards made him look silly, I think we can handle him even with inexperienced players
didn't really see Sly much on the field anyway. After all the pats ran what, 10 times? And a good chunk of those were shotgun draws to Faulk. Foote on the other hand was out there practially every play
Rice will be a real test for Sly, especially if he's put in coverage

I wouldn't be laughing so hard Worilds is a good linebacker and I have seen him play alot if push comes to shove he can step it up, give the man a chance.
