Big Bad Ben

[SteelerSteve]

Oh my gosh!!! I know he only played one series, but is anyone else as excited as me for how Ben played tonight? I was so pumped on his first pass and cant wait for the regular season I dont want to jinx him by making an early prediction(even though I have previosly in the off-season) but I see a BIG year for BIG Ben

I was mainly excited just to see him healthy and back on the field again. He hit Cedric in stride on that long play and even though he had limited game time tonight he seemed to be confident.

I'm anxious to see what he does next week when he'll get atleast a few series under his belt.

I was just glad to see him looking healthy and relaxed again. I don't know what his weight is but he looked to not be quite as chunky as he has been but not as thin as he got last year......I think juuuuust right.

It was so awesome to see them tonight!

We definitely have a few kinks to work through-- but overall--we were MUCH better prepared than the Saints!

[Prosdo]

He looked sharp out there.

[steelersgal86]

Yeah...It was just nice to see him out there...He looked great!!!

[DIESELMAN]

He looked really smooth in the pocket, like it was the middle of the season. His play action on the deep pass to Wilson was really nice.

Well......we have a long way to go. Ben looked good and.....................So did Cedric! I thought he sucked. I also thought the defense looked very good.

[PsychoWard]

yeah ben looked very confident for the time that he was in. just seeing if in there was nice i can't wait for the regular season!

What I saw from Ben is a QB who is MUCH more comfortable in this new system than the old one. After listening to several interviews this past weekend, it sounds like he digs Tomlin much more than Cowher. At times, Ben sounded like his relationship with BC was very strained.
