James Harrison Out for a few weeks

[Knox Harrington]

I don't see that at all. He's their long-term stud ILB.

If Worilds isn't up the task of taking over for Harrison when he's done, they'll draft someone else.

so why is he taking over for Harrison then? Worilds reminds me a little of Paul Kruger. It might take him a couple of yrs to develop. Should be interesting to see.

Well Timmons played outside at Florida State so this may not be that much of a drop off to doom the Steelers for this game.

Jason Worilds must not be panning out if he can't replace Harrison for a couple of games.

That leaves two VERY slow ILBs to cover the middle of the field. Timmons on the inside is crucial to their defense. They are going to get lit up over the middle.

I'd say it's an indictment of Worilds.

They are essentially saying Foote is better at ILB than Worilds is at OLB...and the difference is enough to shift their best overall LB to another position and (IMO) significantly weaken their defense.

I think Hasselbeck is going to eat them up.

I played Arian Foster in my FF league with zero remorse...
Pitt aint what they used to be.

I guess I should clarify that I mean Harrison's position will be filled properly by Timmons, but I fully agree the middle of the defense will get murked by the fastest RB in the league.

Ouch! That must have been one hell of hit he took.

I believe Mike Tyson broke somebody's eye socket before

This, in other words, sums up what came to mind when I saw the replay.

I can understand the thought process: They want to try their best to keep Johnson off the edge. However, I am having a hard time seeing them weaken two positions on the 'week eve' of playing the most explosive RB in the league.

GIVEN that this is not a life-threatening or even permanent injury, it was well-deserved. Good to see a mugger get mugged.

I don't know. I thought the reason they moved him inside was because he wasn't working out as an outside linebacker.
