Steelers LOLB LaMarr Woodley’s transition from a defensive end in a 4-3 scheme to star 3-4 outside linebacker in a span of two seasons has been nothing short of impressive. Woodley has also been able to hold up in coverage — part of the outside linebacker’s job that often goes forgotten until it’s not done well. “This year I’ve covered receivers, I’ve covered tight ends, and I’ve covered backs out of the backfield,” Woodley said in the week leading up to Super Bowl XLIII. “That’s just something that we have to do, and when you know you have to do it, you just do it. You don’t think about it, just do it. When you think about it, that’s when you get beat.”
