September 12, 201412 yr Double team Brown, watch Bell closely, keep Miller in front of you and you have them. No one else is near the playmaker they need. Brown is a very good wideout and really would be my #1 priority. He is a YAC guy, he is not going to win jump balls. That hurts Ben in that he doesn't have a Green, Johnson, Bryant where you can just throw it up there 3-4 times a game and the WR wins the jump ball. Brown ain't that guy. He was decent the 1st half, nothing the 2nd. He may not have been right after the big hit. Big Ben missed some easy throws, also.
September 12, 201412 yr I wouldn't worry because it's week two...I've seen teams get blown out the first two weeks and go on to win super bowls.

September 12, 201412 yr Has Roethlisberger ever had a Green, Megatron or Dez? No but he did have plax who while not an elite wr he was able to win jump balls which he was talking about in that post.
September 12, 201412 yr Has Roethlisberger ever had a Green, Megatron or Dez? He had some of the fastest WR's in the league and he's had hall of famers like Hines Ward. To think he hasn't had weapons is false.
September 12, 201412 yr No but he did have plax who while not an elite wr he was able to win jump balls which he was talking about in that post. You forget the speed he has had with some of his WR's and you also forget Hines Ward.
September 12, 201412 yr The Upshaw hit on Big Ben was nasty and I don't get why it was a penalty either, I guess the crown of the helmet thingy. Regardless, he knocked Big Ben off his feet. I have seen Ben take some hits but never where someone lifted him off his feet and deposited him to the ground.

I have seen Ben take some hits but never where someone lifted him off his feet and deposited him to the ground. It was only a penalty because of using the crown of the helmet. Funny thing about that rule is that if that sack took place 10-15 years ago it would have been shown as the perfect tackle.
September 12, 201412 yr He had some of the fastest WR's in the league and he's had hall of famers like Hines Ward. To think he hasn't had weapons is false. One trick pony Mike Wallace, how are his numbers in Miami? Hines was a chain mover, never an elite receiver, but did everything in the offense that you'd prefer him do. Who else? Plax? Um no. Holmes? Um no. No elite receivers. That is until now, I think AB is an elite receiver, regardless of size.

He will be in the HOF as the Steelers all time receiving leader, how that isn't elite I don't know. They also as it was mentioned also had Plax there too. Basically if someone is trying to make an argument that Ben didn't have weapons like they say about Brady, well that argument doesn't really hold water.

Funny thing about that rule is that if that sack took place 10-15 years ago it would have been shown as the perfect tackle. It was a perfect tackle and shouldn't have been flagged. Hochuli was behind was the one that threw the flag. He saw Ben's head snap back and assumed it was a hit to his chin or head. Upshaw didn't get him with the crown. He put his face mask in Ben's chest and drilled him. Ed blew it.
