"I almost made it through my workday without having to blog about someone talking about Joe Flacco, but unfortunately, Steelers safety Ryan Clark was asked on Tuesday to give his take on the Ravens quarterback. Clark took it easy on Flacco, passing on an easy opportunity to make fun of Flacco's facial hair and saying that he is a good quarterback who is "still trying to take that next step to become an elite quarterback."

"You know what? I really don't pay that much attention to Joe Flacco or the Baltimore Ravens for it to be my concern," said Clark, who laughed when he heard LaMarr Woodley's comments for the first time when two Pittsburgh radio hosts brought them up. "The times that we play them, I'm excited to play them. It's a physical game and we're going to go out there and play. Do I think Joe Flacco has a very tough time against the Pittsburgh Steelers? Yes. Do I think he has a really, really hard time against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger? Yes. But that's not because I'm cocky. That's not because I'm guessing. The stats show it."

Clark, who was appearing on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, pointed out that Flacco is 2-6 in his career against the Steelers, including playoffs, and is 0-6 when they have starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger."
