“I wasn’t surprised at all,” Ryan Shazier insisted to reporters Monday when asked about the almost barbaric punishment being doled out in the Steelers’ annual backs-on-backers drill. “We’re a hard-nosed team. We’re in Pittsburgh, Ohio.”
He caught himself immediately and laughed a bit.
“Pittsburgh, P-A. I’m sorry about that. Went to Ohio State. We’re from Pittsburgh, P-A. We play dirty.”
Caught himself again.
“Not dirty, but hard-nosed.”
Nah, that last one was fine, actually. And the other one wasn’t all bad, either. The way Shazier competed Monday — in backs-and-backers and all that followed on the first day in full pads (http://www.steelers.com/video-and-audio/videos/Steelers-complete-first-day-in-pads/81118082-5a8c-49a2-863c-ebd93611e316) — I’m guessing no one would care which Pittsburgh he’s from, so long as it’s the only one in the world ending with an H.
I’ll say it yet again, Nation: You will love this kid........
