[TazManianDevil]

Torn biceps, done for the season per Ian Rapoport.

He's always been lazy.

Woodley was "Mr. Durability" his first few years as a starter with the Steelers, but he failed to realize the effort it requires to maintain that status as a latter 20-something, as opposed to an early 20-something.

Woodley will go down as one of the large talent/small brains noteable players in team history.

He's been done for a while now. That was one move the Steelers correctly made this offseason, though the cap hit really sucks.

He should not have been kept at that crazy contract when the deal was done in the first place.

True, but they just came off of a second SB with him and three seasons of double digit sacks. Plus, they needed cap relief at that time. I can understand why they did it. Unfortunately, they didn't know he'd become fat, lazy and often injured. He's been totally useless since 2012.

Woodley with a torn bicep would be the steelers best pass rusher this year.

Woodley reminds me of our last great rookie LB that i thought was going to become the next Lambert. Cant even remember his name # 97 i think

Kendrell bell?

Get REAL ??!!!!

Kendral Bell. I remember him blowing up the center, right back into and sacked the QB. Talk about a show of promising ability!!!!! Then the injury bug






Salute the nation

His motor was non-stop in Super Bowl XLIII. I'll never forget the strip on Kurt Warner to end the game.

I think a bit too often "injury prone" and "out of shape" are tossed out there as if they are somehow related. A torn bicep can happen to anyone, and I doubt his workout, or lack thereof would have much effect.

That being said, it does look like we let him walk at the right time.

If he loses 40lbs and will play for a cheap 1 year league min deal with incentives I would rather bring him back that Worilds.

 

[JupiterBnG]

At least we're not paying $5M for him to tear it up for the Raiders.

True, but his recurring hamstring problems with us at least suggest a lack of conditioning

 

[Superman]

saying Arians Foster suffers from lack of conditioning, too?

"at least suggests"

 

[Superman]

so you are suggesting that Foster suffers from lack of conditioning.

please, do explain your reasoning.

 

[bermudasteel]

Guess Coach Tomlin and the FO made a good decision dumping him. No???

 

[NC STEEL]

I've kept an eye on his production. Zero sacks, five tackles total. Not sure if apathy, injuries or what. But, moving on from him appears to have been a sound decision.

 

[Idioteque]

"Suggest" means "it's possible"

Here is one of many, many, many easy-to-find articles that correlate conditioning and chronic hamstring injuries.

Worilds is getting paid 10 million to do squat. I would rather have Woodley as a rotational guy for 1 million.

it's also suggesting it's possible that hamstring injuries can be from overuse.
i wont post a link since it makes you soil yourself.
