View topic - Woodley or Wouldn't He?

I was looking over some stats and came across some info on the rookie right tackle Bryan Bulaga, who was actually drafted as a LT, but injuries forced him to switch sides. He was flagged for nine penalties (three holds and six false starts) in the reg season, and allowed eleven sacks. While Woodley often gets slammed here (and rightfully so, to a degree) for his velcro blitzes and poor pass coverage, I have a feeling he could have a big day against this kid. Lest we forget, Woodley is the fastest to reach 10 career playoff sacks (6 games) and is the only player to record a sack in six consecutive playoff games. Granted, much of LaMarr's success, especially in the playoffs, is due to DeeBo lining up on the other side, but he has been effective in rushing the QB in both the regular season and the postseason. Mind you, I can't take credit for the research into these stats, as they are pretty much repeated verbatim from an article I found on the NFL's website,

but I thought the readers here might appreciate them. Even if DeeBo is responsible for scarier pressure from the blindside, this could result in Bulaga having to handle Woodley with little or no help. It could result in some damage, even if it just means Rodgers sees him coming and rolls the other way...right into Harrison.

Interesting...

This does show the real possibility of the Pack leaving in an RB and/or a TE more often on Harrison's side. What's the record for Dong Sacks in a game by any player? If it's known we may see Woodley break it tonight. Even if Woodley did, I know at some point I'll see him lock up with an OT and say "Shed goddammit!"
