Timmons: “The Playoffs are Different”


Steelers second-year LB Lawrence Timmons has updated his blog over at his official site. Here is a tidbit of the article:

Playing in the playoffs in front of our home crowd was crazy, man. It was a great experience.

You can see how the playoffs are different, especially with a veteran team like we have. Everyone takes the game so serious, everyone plays so perfectly. People are way more emotional, and the older guys on this team have always shown the way. That’s why I love this team so much. No matter who a guy is, if he was drafted in the first round, second round, whatever, the older guys take it like its their job to make us better.

They say that in the playoffs, the team that makes more mistakes is the team that goes home. So they’ve been hard on us young guys. During the bye week they had me, Wood, a lot of the younger guys taking all the reps so we condition ourselves not to make mistakes. That’s helped a lot. When they put that much work in us, you can tell they really care about us, you know?

The harder you are on a guy sometimes, the better off that guy will be. They like to show us some tough love and that’s helped us a lot.

Everybody’s pumped up for the playoffs, but I know that in a game like this you’ve got to know your job. Don’t try doing someone else’s job and you’ll be fine.
