Any Word on Roethlisberger? **UPDATE** Doctors Examine Big Ben...

**DanRooney** · 09-22-2008, 01:27 AM

Hey just wondering if any of you have any word on his injury he sustained due to Tomlin and Arians' poor gameplaning. I also would like to know what Roethlisberger had to say about the game if there is an interview up somewhere. I surely hope he isn't shouldering the blame for once. I would really like him to call out his offensive line like Peyton Manning did with his team when we played them in the playoffs

A lot of it was play-calling. Bruce Arians needs to forget about his stupid "first 30 plays."

Wake up man, when you go in at half and come out the same if not worse, it's game planning and coaches fault. Yes the oline sucked but there were ways of beating the speed rush, roll Ben out run some bootleg, keep throwing the check downs etc etc. They were looking for the deep ball which wasn't going to be there!!

Ravens will come at us the same way Monday, Jacksonville will as well, this was a small taste. Just wait until we play the Giants, Boys, Chargers etc etc.

there are many things an O.C. can do to battle against a jail break blitz: roll outs, draw plays, WR screens, screens, reverses, end arounds, flares, no huddle offense... ARIANS DID NONE OF THESE. he's the worst.

You hit the nail on the head! We should of cut his deadbeat ass go in the offseason and hired Cam Cameron!! He would of fit this team perfect!!

Exactly!

The play calling... what can be said about the play calling... For starters, I think when a team passes the ball all of 30 times in two games and then comes out trying to light up the passing stats there are going to be problems. The line hasn't had a chance to get into a rhythm and Ben hasn't been throwing like that much... I really think it's just a combination of things. Hopefully it was a wake up call too!

Offensive line is part of the offense last I heard.

Oh and how many times did Parker try to run to the outside yesterday? Yeah, 0. Arians continued to try to force him to run into a collapsing OL. And how many times did Davis run to the outside? 1. Wait, what? They're trying to get Davis to outrun a speedy Philadelphia DE? Sweet.
