    You know who the forgotten one is in Steeler playoff success?
    Lamar Woodley. Fans bashed him for showing up fat

    But during his short 8 game playoff career, his number of post season sacks are insane.

    He has more than the likes of HOFers Lawrence Taylor, Kevin Greene, and Mike Strahan who had much longer careers and more playoff games.

    Nobody in the top 20 in career playoff sacks has a higher average per game than he has.

    Since TJ was drafted THE ENTIRE STEELER FRANCHISE has less than HALF the post season sacks (5) than Woodley had during his run

    He got all kinds of heat by fans for showing up fat, gets no love, but there is no denying his impact during the post season.

    So Woodley was Bizarro Watt. He saved his best for the postseason.
