    pretty impressive.

    we have had some great tandems, that is for sure. Greene / Lloyd got it started.

    in the 3 - 4, that is........

    Until the current duo performs a strip sack to seal victory in the Super Bowl Harrison/Woolley are better.

    I figure that’s a feat that’s extremely unlikely to happen ever again so it was left off. A cb might do it or maybe even an ilb, but not an olb

    Plus honestly, I want to see them shore up their individual run defense. Lloyd and Greene rarely were burned on containment losses. Same with harrison and woodley. They will get better!

    the 4 year period the article mentions - Harrison had 20 forced fumbles - that's a huge number. Woodley's sack on Warner to finish the game - Woodley was a beast on that play.

    I thought I remembered Lambert still playing when they started the 3-4, no? What year did they switch over to it?

    1982 so Ham and Lambert played in a 3-4, albeit briefly

    Team sports....This is possible that Woodley and Harrison duo was better and I have no problem with that since they were great but the supporting cast on both side of the ball is not the same too

    Or stop giving up contain like Highsmith was doing all almost the1st half of the Ravens game. Hell He was the reason they scored that td run. Although they pretty much fixed it in the 2nd half. Hmmm:hmm:
    I thought our Coaches didn't make adjustments.

    If Harrison was still on the team and playing we would have beat Jacksonville

    Not sure who the better duo is. It's a good problem to have, debating who is better

    I'll say this though, Harrison was more fun to watch. The dude was just straight up mean and crushed guys. The game has changed though. Can't play that way about.
