ILB Breakdown: 'We Don't Have Another Ryan Shazier'
By JIM WEXELL
PITTSBURGH -- That salty dog Vince Williams put the playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars this way:
"You just gotta eat something like that," said the Steelers' buck inside linebacker. "It just sucks that it happens in the playoffs. That's terrible. You don't want to play the worst game of your season in the playoffs."
Williams was talking about the entire defense, but he could've been talking about himself. Or Sean Spence. Or the safeties. He could've been talking about anyone in the middle of the field.
"We just couldn't stop the run. Obviously," Williams said. "Leonard Fournette's a great guy. That offensive line catches a lot of flack -- [Blake] Bortles catches a lot of flack but he's pretty good on the play-action -- and they were able to generate enough run to where they could trick us with the play-action, because we didn't know it was coming."
Thus, the constant, chronic, consistent calls from the media for the Steelers to draft an inside linebacker.
