Lawrence Timmons has a new job again. It’s the same new job he had to start the 2014 season, but that did not last long. Now he’s praying for Ryan Shazier’s good health so he can stay at it a little longer this time.
There are many descriptions that can go after the word “linebacker” in the Steelers dictionary. They have outside linebackers and inside linebackers and those can be broken down further. On the inside, there is the mack and the buck.
Timmons played the mack most of his career when he wasn’t called upon to fill in at outside linebacker after injuries.
