Ryan Clark (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/nfl/player/ryan-clark/105951) has spent almost a week hearing about New England’s past offensive achievements against his Pittsburgh Steelers (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/nfl/team/pittsburgh-steelers/67067) defense.
He's heard enough.
Speaking with FOXSports.com after practice Friday, the hard-hitting free safety acknowledged Tom Brady (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/nfl/player/tom-brady/70173)’s 6-1 career record and stellar passing numbers when facing the Steelers. Clark, though, is equally upset with how the Patriots (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/nfl/team/new-england-patriots/67054) have responded while enjoying such success. That includes a December 2007 incident in which Brady jaw-jacked safety Anthony Smith (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/nfl/player/anthony-smith/401193) after wide receiver Randy Moss beat him on a touchdown pass. Smith had boldly predicted Pittsburgh would end New England’s then-perfect season.
“When they play against us, they don’t really try to beat us physically but technically,” said Clark, who was replaced by Smith in that 2007 game because of injury. “Tom Brady gets the ball out of his hands extremely quick to try and get run after the catch.
“Also, if you watch the antics of this team when they do score on us — Tom Brady and the running backs spiking the ball, throwing a touchdown and running to talk to Anthony Smith — you see that there’s no respect there. Maybe at times we’ve given them too much respect.
“For me, personally, that’s over.”.....................
