Will the real Woodley please stand up/ DL play man?

[Clevelandsux]

postgame interview last nyte, woodley noted to pompieni that he was in coverage about 60 percent of the game, again, lebeau's decision....cant be rushin the passer when you're not assigned that for most of the game.

i think they all were because half of our secondary was out.

i want to disagree about Woodley... but i really cant

[LatrobePA]

Was Woodley in all game?

[BstripeYpaint]

I heard something in the direction that Woodley may not be doing the kind of work in the off season that he should do. Man. I hope that's not the case. He would benefit from a higher level of fitness.

Woody needs to do one of 2 things:

1 - Drop about 15-20 pounds and really stress lower body conditioning.
2- Move inside next to Timmons - which would be unnatural to him.

Realistically, #1 makes the most sense, especially with the uncertainty of James Harrison's return to the team in 2013.

That's right. Give an emphasis to the lower body in the off season. Lamarr would gain a lot from regular workouts on an indoor rowing machine. That activity is at least 70% in the legs; indoor rowing will also benefit his aerobic fitness greatly. At the very least, he should be on a spinning bike for at least an hour a day, in addition to the weight room stuff.

When used properly, those concept 2 rowing machines are awesome. We need Woodley. I hope he reads this.

harrison would be an absolute ****ing monster at MLB.....woodley definitely would not. He would be useless, id say let him play with his hand on the ground more in a 4 man line....keisel, hood, heyward, woodley would be tough to block as a both run stoppers and pass rushers. Wouldnt work as a base 43, but every now and then thats where i see woodley at his best, bull rushing RTs or beating guards to the inside.

Harrison looked like an awesome MLB when he was in for farrior a few game way back when, he was a complete unknown at the time and n one knew hed slide in for porter so easily (hence the drafting of timmons to be an OLB), but he could take on guards all dayand get under their pads with his freakish strength and it would be less stressful on his knees than trying to get the corner and being held all the time...and we know hes a beast against the run

wouldnt mind seeing:

ROLB: Draft pick this season (Jordan, Mingo, Jenkins....my god jarvis jones<3)
RDE: Keisel
NT: Hood/Mcclendon/Woods
LDE: Heyward
LOLB: Woodley
MLB: Timmons
MLB: Harrison

Hopefully land Rhodes, Amerson, or Elam in round 2

I meant to write "70 percent" in the legs. The drive in rowing comes from the legs.

Source?

They want him to better condition his hamstrings. Butler did however give him credit for reporting to Latrobe in 2012 lighter than he was in 2011.

But they have to keep him out of coverage. He doesn't have the body for it. He's a pass rusher.

Use him that way or ship him out too.
