I'm calling it now, Ben is going to play Sunday. I sure hope he does not do damage to that knee against a team we may be able to beat with a back up QB.
Ben: "i felt good". Quote after practice on thursday.

I don't see any way that Ben is active as the backup.
If Ben is good to go medically, he starts. End of discussion.
If he's not good to go medically, he'll be in his Duce Staley uniform on the sidelines again.
I expect the team to bring up Murphy from the P.S. to be Landry's backup in KC.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

Yup. Landry took all the snaps with the 1's and Tyler Murphy took more than he has all year on Friday. I don't see any way they risk Ben against that pass rush on the road.I don't see any way that Ben is active as the backup.

The week of work was good for him, though. He should be back for Cincy.
As for LJ, just keep getting the ball into the hands of the best collection of playmaking skill players in the league, and don't sit in that pocket waiting for your 4th option to break open.Comment

Tyler Murphy, huh. I was wondering who the backup was going to be.
We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!Comment

Ben isn't dressing as a backup. If Tyler Murphey is activated from the PS before 4:00 today, he's the backup. If he's not, Landry is and Ben is starting. Those are the only two options at this point.
Not for nothing, David Todd from ESPN Radio said that reports on Friday were that Ben was having trouble stepping into his throws. If that is true, he should sit another week.Comment
