August 16, 2014 - Pre-Season Game against Buffalo Bills1075 viewsFrom Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Roethlisberger looked to be in mid-season form. In two series against the New York Giants last week, he did not run the no-huddle. In three series against the Bills, he ran it all the time.
It took only two plays for them to score. Roethlisberger looked left and then over the middle, where he found Antonio Brown 10 yards deep and the Pro Bowler ran untouched for a 76-yard touchdown.
“It was a great read by Ben," Brown said. “The defensive back got caught up with another guy. Ben hit me in the spot, and I was able to get up to speed and turn the corner.â€
Shazier’s interception return set up their second series on offense and Roethlisberger had to work a little harder this time. They nibbled a little with the running game and some short passes and came to a third-and-11 at the 16.
Roethlisberger dropped back and threw a perfect pass to the back left corner of the end zone, where Markus Wheaton caught it over cornerback Stephon Gilmore for the touchdown.
“The line did a good job," said Roethlisberger. “They had a nice pass rush on the outside. I stepped up in the pocket. Markus stayed outside and ran a great route. I just put it in the corner and he did the rest.â€
Roethlisberger completed eight of his 11 passes for 128 yards and a near-perfect 150.8 passer rating. He was not sacked over three series, which was another benefit of the no-huddle last season.

August, 2014 - Man of the House9768 viewsHi everybody! Hope you’re enjoying your summer.
I’ve been kinda busy myself! Dad told me to take care of mommy and Baylee while he was at training camp, and that’s just what I’ve been doing!
I’ve been keeping my toys picked up (mostly), taking my naps without complaint (pretty much), and I’m trying really hard not to run like a crazy man in the house. I’m also giving mommy lots of hugs.Aug 15, 2014

August, 2014 - Training Camp503 views“EJ Manuel pays close attention to Ben Roethlisbergerâ€
From Matthew Fairburn at the Syracuse Post-Standard:
The Buffalo Bills have a vision for what they want to be.
They want to be a tough, physical football team that depends on their defense and running game to win. They want to give their young quarterback — who has a big arm, can move his feet and is a handful to bring down — a chance to succeed by surrounding him with talent. Most of all, they want to get back to the playoffs and snap a 14-year drought.
In other words, they want to replicate what the Pittsburgh Steelers did early in Ben Roethlisberger’s career.
Yes, a Super Bowl is a lofty target for the Bills, who have gone 6-10 in each of the last three seasons, but general manager Doug Whaley spent time in the Steelers organization and wants a few things to rub off on his current team.
“Their toughness and their idea that nothing less is expected than a championship,†Whaley said. “That’s what we’re trying to get to.â€
Whaley has a particular vision for his second-year quarterback, EJ Manuel. He thinks he can be the Bills’ version of Roethlisberger — a big, strong-armed quarterback with some mobility. So Manuel was paying extra attention to the Steelers’ quarterback on Wednesday to see how he prepares and how he handles himself.
“It’s huge,†Manuel said of practicing with Roethlisberger. “I’ve always been a huge fan of Big Ben. Growing up in Virginia, it’s not too far from Pittsburgh, and obviously early in his career he took those guys to a Super Bowl, so like I said earlier, to get an opportunity to come out and practice with him is awesome.â€Aug 14, 2014

August, 2014 - Training Camp564 views“Ben Roethlisberger relishes teaching roleâ€
From Scott Brown, ESPN.com:
he most hands-on training camp of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s career ends Friday when the Pittsburgh Steelers break camp after spending the last three weeks at St. Vincent College.
That doesn’t mean that Roethlisberger will stop going over painstaking details with his wide receivers or surrender his duties as a de facto coach when the Steelers start practicing at team headquarters next week.
“It’s been fun it’s something that I need to do and want to do.†Roethlisberger said Thursday after the first of two joint practices with the Buffalo Bills. “The coach can tell them what they’re supposed to do but if I tell them what I want them to do it’s a big difference. It’s been a good [camp] in that sense.â€
Roethlisberger said he’s never coached the wide receivers as much as he has this camp, and it makes sense that he has assumed even more of a leadership role. Roethlisberger is entering his 11th season and has never had more ownership of the Steelers’ offense. He is also working with a wide receivers unit that is generally young.
Just as Roethlisberger has high hopes for that group, he is also pleased with how the offensive line has come together in camp.
“They have just such a cohesiveness as a unit,†Roethlisberger said, “and it’s something special.â€
