Woodley showed up today....wonder why?

Hoke was holding his own up front instead of Casey Hampton getting blasted back.

Ziggy Hood and Kiesel also did a great job on the line today, and it showed in the play of the linebackers.

Amazing how good a 3-4 D looks when the D-Line does their job.

...because he sucks and we shouldn't have resigned him?

LOL!!!!

Woodley got off to a slow start, everyone did. When everyone does thier job its easier to get the job done.

Well said Dom, that's exactly what we've been missing all year. A defensive line that gets penetration and holds their own to allow the linebackers to make plays. The credit for his good day goes as much to Chris Hoke and the defensive line as it does to Wood himself.

Having a guy with fresh legs in at NT position helps the entire defense, because when they go into zone blocking if the NT can't or won't move his feet there will be a gaping whole all day for cut backs which we were the victim of for 2 weeks in a row. Having Hoke with fresh legs and McClendon rotating your solid in the middle again.

I don't think most were saying Woodley shouldn't have been resigned...The point I was trying to make and many others were since he did get his big contract it was time for him to step up and play better.....Timmons included.......that was the point....

Yea no doubt......I wasn't calling for Woodley's head or anything but when these players get these big contracts they need to produce......I hope Woodley is back to being Woodley since he is needed big time especially with Harrison out....

I just hope nobody's surprised when we don't hear Woodley's name called as many times next week as it was this week.

I don't care how many times his name is called in week....anybody watching the first four games saw Woodley struggle...Was it all on him?...no not all but at the same time he flat out stunk the joint up for the first four weeks....especially against some OT's he should have owned....He went up against one of the best RTs in the NFL today and played great.....
