Pittsburgh Steelers Safety Ryan Clark - Ingles

Press Conference

January 17, 2011

Question: The secondary had a good game, and people had been down on them in the past, did they do anything differently against Baltimore?

Ryan Clark: I think if you look at what Ike (Taylor)’s been doing, Ike’s pressed every receiver he’s played this year, and guys aren’t catching balls on him. That’s nothing new or out of the ordinary for the way Ike has been playing. I think we just matched up well against those guys. I know teams say it all the time, if they give up big plays that we gave it to them, but the long pass to (Anquan) Boldin at their place was a miscommunication. We didn’t rotate the defense like we should and he got open. Then the other pass to (Donte’) Stallworth was the same thing. So it was just things we had to shore up and do. People are always going to be down on you in the secondary here because nobody can run it. So they throw more passes, they throw more five-yard passes, and so they complete a lot of balls. But we think we tried to shore some things up and not give up the big play as much, and we were able to do that this week.
