First of all, let me apologize real quickly for the relatively low volume of posts, particularly from me, this past week. I'm busy with many things, the main one being trying to make some headway on this year's preseason publication about the Pittsburgh Steelers for Maple Street Press. It's coming along nicely and I'll fill you in on what to expect in this year's edition, but it sure is hard to squeeze in as much posting here as I'd like while I work through it, especially when there's not a whole lot to talk about to begin with right now while we wait for a June ruling on the frustrating lockout.Anyway, just a heads up about my whereabouts.
Anyway, prior to joining Ken Laird yesterday on his tremendous Steelers 365 podcast, I came across something he wrote about Cortez Allen (http://sportstalk.triblive.com/node/62), a cornerback out of The Citadel that Pittsburgh selected in the fourth round of this year's draft. Several things that stuck out to me from the post, including:
He's not Ike Taylor fast, but Allen's 4.45 40-yard dash time was a fraction better than Curtis Brown's (4.5).
His speed can be traced back to his days as a track standout during high school in Florida...........
