No LaMarr Woodley. No James Farrior. No James Harrison.
Problem.
Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, whose bag is full of tricks and treats, may have to pull many of them out this week. The meeting room for Steelers linebackers could move to a Red Cross tent. Such is the state of their injuries that coach Mike Tomlin talked Tuesday about the possibility of playing all kinds of different defenses Sunday to compensate.
It's not a good time to be losing your best linebackers when the Baltimore Ravens come to Heinz Field for a rematch and perhaps the showdown that ultimately will determine the AFC North Division champion.
But Tomlin declined to list any of his linebackers as "out" for the game Sunday night when he reviewed his injured players and their prospects.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, however, reported that Woodley will miss the game this week and might not play until Nov. 27 because of the hamstring injury that forced him out of the fourth quarter of the 25-17 victory Sunday against New England. Woodley leads the AFC with nine sacks after sacking quarterback Tom Brady twice.

It would be great if they could put up about 50 against the ratbirds and give the defense a break. It would certainly be nice to have a 2 to 1 T.O.P. this week as well. _________________  60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION  I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND

 The offense needs to come up big and have the defense's back this time around. I'd like to see more of what we saw last week. Keeping the opponents offense off the field means the defense won't be exposed as much. Let's hope they can dial up another solid, time-eating game plan. _________________  -"I stand corrected...
