Could you imagine how good we would be if Ben only has 14 sacks all season like DA?

props to the sigmaster,AsianSteel.
One thing that even Ben clearly admits in the article is that many of the sacks are on him not the OL. No OL in the league can hold off a pass rush as long as the Steelers OL is asked to do because of Ben's ability to move and extend plays. I hope Ben does get smart and take the easy checkdowns versus trying to be the hero and force a big play.

I seriously expect a big reduction in sacks. The situation seems to just be set up for it. I imagine it will still be north of the 14 for the Stains, but under 30 should be a real expectation.

We can only hope. I think Ben will look more to his outlets this year.Originally Posted by Oviedo
I mean how much confidence did the man have in Parker? None.
I would hope he will throw to Mendenhall.
Trolls are people too.
Good read, man... Thanx!
We keep hearing how he is more understanding of the system, and better aware... It was the same story last season to an extent (being better aware, taking more control...). While I do agree with it, and understand that it also plays a part in how much dirt he accumulates on his uniform, there are alot of other issues that contribute to him being sacked that this article doesn't go into by design. .... Just sayin'
Sacks don't mean diddly squat to passer rating...
Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

Let's hope our OC learned to play chess this year. He has the pieces to attain success, how well he moves these pieces is the real story.
