View topic - NFL's league leaders in sacks...

I found this kinda funny:

John Abraham, ATL 7.0
James Harrison, PIT 6.5
Joey Porter, MIA 5.5
LaMarr Woodley, PIT 5.5

Look deeper and you'll see Abraham with 15 tackles and Porter with 16 (albeit Porter in one less game). Harrison has registered 31 and Woodley 23.

Got to admit, love those LBs. And then we have Timmons coming on.

They are on pace to shatter other Steelers LB'ing combos from the past (stat wise).

This may be the best LB's the Steelers have fielded.

And we are all witnesses.

McLovin loves the enthusiasm nic and totally agrees Woodley and Harrison playing great ball but to say this may be the best ever is a little too optomisitic. For whatever reason Timmons isn't even a starter over an average at best LB in Larry Foote and I'm not going to go as far as Mill to rip the play of Farrior but he makes very few impact plays. If Timmons is allowed to emerge as Woodley has then I would agree they have the potential to be as good as the Lloyd/Brown Kirkland/Greene group under Cowher. But lets save the best group ever for the Ham/Lambert/Russell group...2 hall of famers and 4 Super Bowls.

Five games, 12 sacks. On pace for 38.5 between them. To put that into perspective, here are the numbers past combinations put up:

Greene & Lloyd

1993: 18.5
1994: 24
1995: 15.5

Brown & Gildon

1996: 20

Gildon & Porter

2000: 24
2001: 21
2002: 18

Haggans & Porter

2004: 13
2005: 20.5

Sacks aren't everything but as you know Woodley and Deebo are all over the field making tackles and big plays. IF they keep it up they are going to notch a place with the best.

Good research bro..still too early to promote them as best ever. Harrison only starter for one year and Woodley in his first year. Here's hoping that Harrison and Woodley keep up their pace and stay injury free and that Timmons gets on the field full time and adds another element of speed and explosion to the lb corp.

Deebo=Silverback

Thank you Captain Obvious

After the game, Harrison, who also answers to "Silverback" and "Deebo" (presumably due to his sunny on-field disposition), pretty much guaranteed he'd be receiving one of those "please pay by" letters from the league office

What error?

Where'd you go?

Nice post.
Don't think they'll make 38, but am almost expecting them to break 24.

It may be that some of our fellow fans aren't as seasoned as some of us and didn't have the privilege of watching that group.

And Harrison/Woodley together costs less than that absurd contract Miami ran out for Peezy. Here's props to the FO for making the right call on this one.

I love the fact that we're getting back to being a D that can make a big stop late in a ballgame... if the "league's #1 D" from last year could have shut ANYBODY down in the last 5 minutes of a tight game, we win at Denver, against the Jets, BOTH Jax games... Speed = game changing turnovers, big stops late in games and more W's. Here's to Larry Slow - a - Foote finding his way to the bench SOON.

This D could be the equal of Blitzburgh if that happens, and with Big Ben instead of Neil O'Suck at the helm, I smell Super Bowl. Who else is out there? Our O is FAR more dynamic than Tennessee's, Indy can't stop the run, Denver's D is Gawdawful, San Diego can't stop anybody anymore, Buffalo is green, and Matt Cassell? Good luck. I see us going in as a 3 or 4 seed because of the schedule, but taking care of business in the playoffs on the road.
