This is an area I tend agree with the NFLPA...measure the full contact days in camp...Shazier only knows one speed which is good, but his body can't handle it...Tomlin always seems to understand injuries so it's hard to tell anything from his comments, but this one doesn't sound too bad.

I certainly hope Shazier's injury is minor. But I'm all for the brutal camp as I think its great for character. Injuries are part of camp. I'm pretty sure it would be more concerning if the team were to stay completely healthy throughout the entire month of August. lol. Maybe suspicious is the word that would be better suited for that?

I think injuries are part of the game period, so from that standpoint I'm with you, but losing guys before you even play a game kinda sucks.

You're right about the temperament of the team though...the Falcons ran a soft camp under Mike Smith one season, and I think it was the Bengals they did a joint practice with picked up on it...felt they were soft and that season they won like 4 or 6 games.

So on second thought...bang away...***fingers crossed***...lol

The prudent # should be $5 to 6 mil per, and I'm guessing 5 to 6 yrs being an OL...that should free up some cash as I"m sure they will convert much of his money this yr to bonus to prorate. He could have like a 2 mil CH this yr by the time this deal is done.

Man...do you think like MT on this.

Cut-n-pasted from NFL.com

Sticking to hard-hitting football. Nobody who passes through Pittsburgh Steelers camp can miss it: the sounds of hard hits and big collisions during practice. The Steelers may run the most physical camp in the NFL, providing a slice of what training camp used to be like when players endured two-a-days in full pads, before rules legislated such experiences out of the game. A highlight of Steelers practices -- and the unquestioned fan favorite -- is the ferocious backs-on-'backers drill, in which running backs and fullbacks seek to pass protect against onrushing linebackers.

"You need to be prepared, No. 1, and No. 2, I want to provide clarity from an evaluation standpoint," coach Mike Tomlin said Wednesday. "And I think taking our approach does both. It prepares them for the physicality that is still very much a part of our game. Blocking and tackling is never going to leave our game. And we've got 90 guys out here, many of which are new, and we're searching for clarity, division of labor, who does what, who is capable of what. Playing with that level of intensity eliminates some of the speculation involved in evaluation. It's really definitive when you're playing tackle football. I like that element of it, and I think our guys do, too. I respect the risk. I just think that's a tightrope we walk daily in our business, and I don't mind doing it." -- Judy Battista

Dodged a bullet.

Matakevich is lookin like the Steelers struck gold with another late round pick

Can't wait for the first preseason game to see what he's got.
