    I'm bored and I know it's a little silly but I can't help but wonder how a guy can kick over his head when he gets a sack but has repeated hamstring issues. Anyone else think he should bad the celebration until he proves he can stay on the field?

    I don't see the connection. Playing football is far more demanding on his muscles than a simple kick. Besides, I wouldn't say he kicks over his head, that's a slight exageration

    Really? You don't see the connection?
    Try to kick as high as you can and tell me that your hammy doesn't take the brunt..

    He's not kicking that high, I've seen his celebration as much as you have. I don't have an issue at all with the celebration. It puts far less pressure on his hamstring than playing football does. I'm not in football shape whatsoever, but I can easily kick as high as Woodley does without hurting myself. Put me on the field though and ask me to do what he does, and yeah, I'd probably pull something. That kick he does isn't overly demanding on his hamstring.

    it isn't much of a kick , he jumps up then kicks down, not up.. but if i were him I'd chill out on anything that could tweak it.

    I have been wondering the exact same thing. The next time I see him do that and then see him on the injury report the next week with a hammy, I'm going to de-friend him on Facebook!

    This.
    Over his head is a big exaggeration. He's not even kicking waist high.

    Over his head may be an exaggeration but I just watched his highlight. He definitely kicks shoulder height at times. Anyhow, I just want to see him stay on the field.

    Why don't you just wrap them all in bubble wrap?

    Didn't a kicker do that one time and blew his knee out?

    You know when I first saw this topic I thought the original poster was going to say that there is a correlation between this kick and Woodley's hamstring issues. I thought this because I tried doing his celebration before and I could feel tension on my hamstring. Maybe I'm crazy but I would prefer that he doesn't do anything that could increase the risk of reinjuring his hamstring. I say find a new celebration or stop doing it. Just sayin that I'm just sayin to just say. :cool:

    And you're at the same level of physical conditioning as a professional athlete right?

    No kidding eh. If our guys can't kick the air without hurting themselves, we have much bigger problems than ever before in the history of the NFL. Woodley's celebration is fine. He's not going to hurt himself doing that. I can do the same thing right now and not hurt myself, and I'm not in shape he is.

    I understand you're bored, but this may be the weakest post I've seen in a while and that's saying a lot around here lately. :-D. You may only be outdone by the guy who says he once tried to copy Woodley's sack celebration, now that's just wierd. Lol!!!!!!!

    SteelerGlenn,
    Sorry that you disapprove of my post. It looks like about 50% agree with me.
    I'll make sure to check for your approval before I start another thread... NOT

    Don't get your panties in a wad, I was just kidding around with you. And as far as the 50 percent thing have you seen some of the nutty posts around here lately? I wouldn't put much faith in some of these guys that agree with you! Particularly the guy who copys Woodleys sack celebration! In the future if you want to send me a draft before you hit the submit button I'll be happy to help you. Lol.
    By the way I'm just having fun with you.
