He's no longer a shy, quiet, southern kid. Get to know the next captain of the Steelers' defense: Lawrence Timmons.
On one series at Tuesday's OTA, new Steelers starting inside linebacker Ryan Shazier (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6935925) was upending Maurkice Pouncey (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6981413) on one snap and then on another he was flying over to the sideline to make up for a missed tackle by cornerback Cortez Allen (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6980424) and hold the explosive Antonio Brown (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6980455) to a short gain.
But on the next series, Shazier is getting blocked easily by one grown man -- David DeCastro (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6980513) -- so that another grown man -- LeGarrette Blount (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=7570603) -- can rip off a chunk run right through the gut of the Steelers' defense.
Those will be the ups and downs of a first-round pick who's going to be free to make plays from coordinator Dick LeBeau's playmaking position, the mack, because the old playmaker, Lawrence Timmons (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6981471), has moved his considerable skills over half a click to the buck, a playcalling bastion of team tradition that's been home to captains Levon Kirkland and James Farrior.
It's now home to the guy Mike Tomlin likes to call "Law Dawg.".......
