Jerome Bettis : "Give Ben Control"
Very rarely do I agree with Jerome Bettis but he actually gave pretty insightful analysis about his former team on SportsCenter. Bettis said that the Pittsburgh Steelers need to blow up the offense and give Ben Roethlisberger more control. It's not a new take on what the Steelers should do on offense, a lot of people including myself have shared that same opinion for years now.
Fact: The Steelers are extremely predictable right now on offense. They can't run the ball, at all. The Steelers offensive line also sucks. So basically, every defense is going to crowd the line of scrimmage and blitz Ben and the Steelers more than 50% of the time. One way to combat that would be to use the no-huddle even more. Now, it doesn't have to be a hurry-up offense, just a no-huddle, with the Steelers' best player, Ben Roethlisberger in control.
For those that are still defending Todd Haley and his playcalling, the only two Steelers offensive touchdowns this year are via the no-huddle with Ben calling the plays.
