Steelers | Ryan Clark critical of fine

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 05:53:32 -0800

Pittsburgh Steelers FS Ryan Clark was critical of the NFL for the $40,000 fine he received for a helmet-to-helmet hit in Week 9. Clark believes there was nothing malicious about the hit. "There wasn't anything malicious about it," Clark said. "It wasn't a spear. It wasn't a forearm to the head. It wasn't any of those things and to be fined $40,000 for that? To me it's either targeting me as a single player or it's targeting this team." Clark will appeal the fine. Clark was also critical of commissioner Roger Goodell. "I did everything I was asked to do and (NFL commissioner Roger) Goodell and all those other guys, they sit in their office with their suits and make these decisions on what a split-second reaction by the player is and this time it's wrong."

Steelers | Ryan Clark believes lockout may help defense

Sat, 28 May 2011 14:38:48 -0700

Pittsburgh Steelers FS Ryan Clark said he believes that the lockout may help the defense because it has some older starters that can rest up for the season.

That dog blitz will still be deadly. We'll be fine," Clark said.

They don't understand the work you put into it every day. A lot of people think we come in here and practice a couple of hours and then go out on Sunday and go play the game. That's not how it is," Clark said.
