picking up gibson might not be a bad idea either, he'll at least be a body which is more than worilds can say

I really would not mind seeing this. That could be a brutal line that would match up well against the Ravens. Perhaps they could fill the gaps a bit better and prevent the stretch plays that tore the team up in week 1.

He also stated that they will incorperate some 4-3 and/or 4-2 looks this weekend.

I can't help but think that the only reason hereof is because they want Ravens to spent time preparing for the possibility of them playing.

Woodley just posted a video on his Facebook page, basically saying not to count him out yet. So...I won't.

Tomlin said on Sirius NFL Radio in his weekly spot that Woodley is listed as questionable and they'll see where he is later this week. I edited the thread topic.

Yeah. That was it.

I would love this. We need to adapt our D to who we play, like we did against the Pats, not just running the same old D no matter who we play. This would be perfect to stop the Ravens run game.

If our offense can play like it did on sunday, there should be no reason why we cant beat the ravens

I'll wait until we get the official word later in the week, but this doesn't look good. I like the way Ktrain is thinking with a 4-3, but I think what you'll see is more of a 3-3-5 with Keisel possibly being used as a "tweener." Sometimes an LB and sometimes a DL. Just thinking out side the box...

This could all be a smoke screen by Tomlin and the Steelers. Perhaps Woodley is hurt worse than we thought or perhaps it's all a ploy to keep the Ravens off guard. It wouldn't be the first time. On Sirius today when Adam Schein asked Tomlin how Woodley was and if he was out, Tomlin said " well you know how those reports can be". Take that for what it's worth.
