Lawrence Timmons arrived at the Steelers (http://triblive.com/sports/steelers/)' training facility earlier this month without the burden of logging a heavy chip on his shoulder.

The seventh-year inside linebacker appeared remarkably calm during mini-camp, in part, because of a solid 2012 season that helped lift the shroud of doubt cast by his critics. He even allowed himself to laugh out loud — a seismic change in attitude for the usually stoic Timmons.

No one, though, should expect Timmons to smile much when training camp begins July 26 at St. Vincent College in Latrobe. Besides, the pressures may be considerably greater than last year when he felt compelled to prove himself after an uneven 2011 season............

While veteran linebacker Larry Foote returns to anchor the middle of the NFL's reigning No. 1 defense, lofty expectations remain for Timmons. The Steelers will need the Florida State product to step up his game even more with the departure of former All-Pro linebacker James Harrison, who bolted for AFC North rival Cincinnati.

We are fortunate to have Timmons. He is a great team player who leads by example.

Pressure?

Diamonds are made from pressure.

great point , but Diamonds are pretty ugly stones when they come out of the ground it is only after cutting and polishing that they gain their appeal ..... hopefully the past few seasons where the cutting and polishing period and it is his time to shine ?

LOL.

Linebacker could really go one or the other this year.

If Timmons has anothers solid year, Woodley uses the thigh master, and Jones transitions quickly (or Worlids kicks it into gear), we could have a formidable corp of linebackers this year....if not, well....Ben may have to light up the scoreboard this year.
