Cooz loves the way Farrior is playing, but he can't help thinking about his possible replacement - rookie Lawrence Timmons. He admits Timmons isn't necessarily the next Brian Urlacher, but given Tomlin's experience with the Tampa 2, and Timmons skills in space, the idea isn't far off.

I don't think Timmons is as good a player in the Tampa 2. Timmons is at his best when he can get after the quarterback, he can't do that in the Tampa 2.

Timmons has shown great speed rushing the passer as he gets off the line very quickly. His problem, that I have seen, is that he is almost always a step or two behind his man.
I think Woodley has the better chance to be a cover-type of backer. He showed great speed in the preseason, and that's why we have seen more of him covering a TE/WR on third down during the season, whereas Timmons has been in more on the line in those situations.
I think both have bright futures though.

Woodley may be the better linebacker, the 3-4 is still the better D for the stillers! If it ain't broke don't fix it!
