PITTSBURGH -- The collective groans that echoed off the hills Thursday night in western Pennsylvania were a result of what the Pittsburgh Steelers' brain trust decided when a player who seemed to be a perfect fit -- and would have filled their most glaring need -- was still on the board at No. 15.
The Steelers (gasp!) passed on a physical cornerback who can cover and hit to take an inside linebacker who can run and hit.
It is way too early to tell whether the Steelers erred in bypassing Michigan State cornerback Darqueze Dennard with the 15th overall pick and taking Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier.
But I like the decision because it turned out to be a bold one rather than a safe one. And the Steelers need bold rather than safe after consecutive 8-8 seasons.
[+] EnlargeAP PhotoJay LaPreteThe Steelers' selection of Ohio State's Ryan Shazier took everyone by surprise -- including the hard-hitting linebacker."What we needed is a defensive playmaker Panthers Tomas Fleischmann Jersey ," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said, "and he fits the bill in that regard."
He does on paper.
Shazier is ridiculously fast -- he said he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds at Ohio State's pro day -- and the 6-1, 237-pounder has the kind of range that general manager Kevin Colbert said is needed to defend against offenses that become more spread out with each passing year.
As glowingly as Colbert and Tomlin spoke of Shazier shortly after they made him the third Ohio State player the Steelers have picked in the first round since 2006, they caught just about everyone off guard with the selection.
That includes Shazier as well as anyone who did a mock draft.
"I didn't see it coming at all Panthers Roberto Luongo Jersey ," Shazier said during a teleconference with Pittsburgh reporters. "I feel like it's going to be great that I'm in Pittsburgh. I'm happy I'm here."
Steelers fans who were upset by this pick will be too if Shazier helps shore up a run defense that allowed 6.5 rushing yards per carry outside of the tackles in 2013, according to ESPN Stats & Info. And he bolsters the inside pass rush, something Colbert said he will do.
The Steelers will play Shazier at weakside inside linebacker, pairing him with Lawrence Timmons Authentic Brad Boyes Jersey , the player they took when they last had the 15th overall pick in 2007.
They will turn a position that had been suspect into a strength if Shazier is as good as the Steelers think he will be after finishing among Ohio State's career tackles leader.
"This guy can flat-out run," Colbert said. "We're well aware of who we have on our team, but when we can add a player of quality it will override the need at any time. This kid has a unique ability to make plays. We're super excited he was there for us."
The fans might not share Colbert's view, and they surely took note that the Bengals were more than happy to take Dennard after he slipped to them at No. 24.
But it is better for the Steelers to make fans happier in October than in May Authentic Tomas Fleischmann Jersey , and they will do that if Shazier becomes a playmaker in the middle of Pittsburgh's defense.
"Quite frankly the young man's got no holes," Tomlin said. Horse Care & Stabling April 23, 2011 | Author: Jannet M | Posted in Basic Horse Care

There are a lot of considerations in your goal of safe surroundings and room to roam in the company and security of other horses. By its nature a horse is most relaxed while grazing leisurely. So a fenced in paddock without grass is not ideal in the horse’s terms, although he may tend to move about more playing with a mate in the paddock. A pasture suited to a horse will fend off many injuries and health problems.
Stabling Your Horse
Whether a horse can be stabled depends on the work he will be doing and his breed. Certain breeds that have thinner skin and ancestry from very warm climates are not hardy and must be stabled during the coldest of winter. Such breeds would be Thoroughbreds Authentic Roberto Luongo Jersey , Arabs and Andalusians. A stable blanket fitted to them may be needed too. Whenever a horse is required to do hard work or endurance it should be stabled and fed accordingly.
A stall-kept horse is protected from inclement weather, especially cold and rain. The added security of knowing where your horse is and having convenient access to her is better than having her out of sight and difficult or impossible to catch. She will be cleaner as she will not be running or rolling in mud and water. You don’t have to sustain a pasture of edible grasses and depend on rainfall, or live on acreage. The possibility of your horse eating poisonous plants or trees is erased. Also, she won’t suffer from high level contamination of worms from a field overgrazed over many years.
She would never suffer from laminitus by eating too much newly sown grass. You will be able to carefully control what food she ingests. This is especially useful for an active horse needing grains. Cold weather may cause agitation in the form of “the need to move” to get circulation going. Ample bedding encourages lying down to provide warmth and completely rest her. See why it’s called bedding! Covering the floor also removes the harsh long-term effect of standing on a hard floor.
Various types of stall flooring to choose from follow. Studies have shown that horses differ in their own preference.
Straw: It is economical and can be spread over fields to dispose of. The best comes from stems of oats Brad Boyes Jersey , wheat, rye or barley. It drains easily and is usually pretty widely available but is highly inflammable.
Wood Shavings and Sawdust: They provide a hygienic bed and don’t contain spores like straw, as long as it is the dust free kind. If your horse develops respiratory problems it is an alternative to straw. They are commonly stored in bags, s
