Eyebrow raising quote from Ben

[Mister Pittsburgh]

The coaches want to "keep the media and fans happy" by their play calling? That is a pretty bold and interesting quote...and kind of inflammatory. I don't think that by using 2 tight ends it's making any fans happy. Most just want to win and have the team employ play calls that give us the best chance of winning, period. I don't think I fully understand what Ben is talking about.

I kind of agree with Ben. In Pittsburgh it always comes down to running the ball, burning clock, keeping the game close (most weeks no matter the quality of opponent), and the defense being set up to be the star. This overall philosophy is part of the steelers 'brand'.

I really think this town is happier with 10-6 defensive games with a 120 yard rusher than if we had a team with a stronger offense & weaker defense so we gave up 21 but hung 35 on teams.

And the results are without equal:

has Ben been listening to Crash again?

Yeah, Ben can hear him yelling all the way from Western Psych.

[aggiebones]

Hmmm, a QB that wants to throw the ball...surprising.

[Jigawatts]

Nothing more than Bens attempt at some deadpan humor that some people just don't get. Like when he makes cracks about holding onto the ball too long.

[feltdizz]

The "keep the fans and media happy" is all Crash..

Ben = Crash?

A lot of what players and coaches say to the media is "blah ba blah blah blah"

Another much ado about nothing.... Roethlisberger likes to toy with the media, and they soak up every bit.
