I think you're missing some context here, Jason... Worf created his forcefield in TNG "Fistful of Datas", to defend himself against some safeties-off holobullets. I highly doubt that his concoction would have enough power to stop a phaser blast, but it'd do against bullets for a few seconds as he demonstrated.
Obviously, personal forcefields are not yet practical in TNG, or else at least some of the troops we saw during the Dominion War would have been equipped with them.

Oh. I thought he'd rigged something in the escape pod when Ezri went looking for im or something... I always turn off "Fistfull of Datas" when I see it on TV.

Hell, if you've got a whole lifepod screw the communicator [well save for turning it into a great big broadcasting unit], you don't need it to make a personel shield... you've got bigger and better things to deal with.
Then again, it's a Klingon lifepod, which means it worthless even as a lifepod.

And how do you know they weren't?
