August, 2014 - Training Camp503 viewsâ€œEJ 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 â€” who has a big arm, can move his feet and is a handful to bring down â€” 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 Roethlisbergerâ€™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.

â€œTheir toughness and their idea that nothing less is expected than a championship,â€ Whaley said. â€œThatâ€™s what weâ€™re trying to get to.â€

Whaley has a particular vision for his second-year quarterback, EJ Manuel. He thinks he can be the Billsâ€™ version of Roethlisberger â€” a big, strong-armed quarterback with some mobility. So Manuel was paying extra attention to the Steelersâ€™ quarterback on Wednesday to see how he prepares and how he handles himself.

â€œItâ€™s huge,â€ Manuel said of practicing with Roethlisberger. â€œIâ€™ve always been a huge fan of Big Ben. Growing up in Virginia, itâ€™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 viewsâ€œBen Roethlisberger relishes teaching roleâ€

From Scott Brown, ESPN.com:

he most hands-on training camp of quarterback Ben Roethlisbergerâ€™s career ends Friday when the Pittsburgh Steelers break camp after spending the last three weeks at St. Vincent College.

That doesnâ€™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.

â€œItâ€™s been fun itâ€™s something that I need to do and want to do.â€ Roethlisberger said Thursday after the first of two joint practices with the Buffalo Bills. â€œThe coach can tell them what theyâ€™re supposed to do but if I tell them what I want them to do itâ€™s a big difference. Itâ€™s been a good [camp] in that sense.â€

Roethlisberger said heâ€™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 Steelersâ€™ 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.

â€œThey have just such a cohesiveness as a unit,â€ Roethlisberger said, â€œand itâ€™s something special.â€
