Linebacker LaMarr Woodley Lobbying Hard For Return Between The Bengals And Steelers

by Josh Kirkendall on Nov 8, 2011 1:29 PM EST in Game Previews

According to Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley is lobbying hard to return for this weekend's pivotal AFC North game with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Following a hamstring injury against the New England Patriots, the expectation was that Woodley would sit for two games (Ravens and Bengals) and return after next week's bye.

The last time the Steelers played the Bengals, Woodley posted an interception return for a touchdown and two quarterback sacks.

Also wide receiver Hines Ward is "doing fine" according to head coach Mike Tomlin after Ward was pulled last week dealing with "concussion-like symptoms." Hopefully both will return. We want both teams at full strength so the excuses are limited to "thank you, sir. May I have another?"

Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will be out a couple of weeks after having his knee scoped on Monday. Sanders is the fifth-leading receiver with 18 receptions this year. However before missing last week against the Ravens, Sanders posted 10 receptions for 116 yards receiving and a touchdown combined against the Patriots and Cardinals.

Dent was a 4-3 right DE. Woodley is a 3-4 left OLB.

Aside from sacking the QB, the two players couldn’t be more dissimilar Woodley is actually decent in pass coverage, too. I don’t think Dent ever covered anyone his entire career.

Again with the comparisons

So far we’ve got Marvin Lewis = Sam Wyche and Dalton = Anderson. There’s another I’m forgetting.

Conflicting sides

The novice football analyst in me would like to say something smart, but I’d really just like to beat the snot out of these guys. My steelers friend (I know, please forgive me) bet me 100 beaners we wouldn’t win once and I was shaking his hand before he finished the sentence.

I really, really hate them.

For the Steelers sake, Woodley had better play

He’s one of the few defensive players that they have that aren’t senior citizens.

No excuses

Hell I hope they bring mean Joe Green back. I hope everyone is healthy. I don’t wanna hear any excuses when we beat them. That won’t happen though , as we all know they only lose because of refs. Just ask them.
