Ben Roethlisberger says he can’t name all Browns quarterbacks he’s faced
“I think we were penalized four times in the game, but two of those were in the last two possessions”. The Steelers have struggled to find room for running back Le’Veon Bell, but the Browns are 31st in the National Football League against the rush, allowing 144 yards per game. “They’re 0-8 or 0-9 and we’re freaking 0-4 in our last four games”.
“We’re not doing enough of the good things well enough to win on a consistent basis”, Tomlin said.
Browns QB Cody Kessler vs Steelers DE Cameron Heyward – If the Browns are to stand a chance, then they’re going to need an improved performance from their quarterback (if he is chosen to start of course). “I think we have really read into it a little bit more last week. The physical 5’11″/225 pounder had more success at the beginning of the year and Hue Jackson has recognized that fact and wants to get back to running the ball more with his lead rusher. “I have to put him in better situations because he is a very, very talented player”. We can’t have an excuse.
“I would like to thank everyone who has been in my corner this season”, Heyward wrote. “We’ve got to change that”.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, one of the three players who have been with the Steelers throughout Tomlin’s tenure along with linebacker Lawrence Timmons and long snapper Greg Warren, says that is not the case.
“Antonio, he is one of the best receivers in the game”, cornerback Joe Haden said of Brown.
I predict a forced ball (or two) to Terrell Pryor, and one of them resulting in a pick… similar to what [Joe’s] saying, the Steelers need to get up early to also help increase the sense of urgency in Cleveland. While, Wheaton has seen his production and playing time down this year due to a shoulder injury that has kept him off of the field for weeks. “I have to go against him twice a year so just so much respect for him”. He has an attitude to do everything he can to be successful.
The report claimed Big Ben “wants greater seriousness of goal from younger Steelers”.
Roethlisberger recalled former Browns coach Butch Davis traveling to Miami of OH where Roethlisberger attended college to work him out in 2004.
Another glimmering hope for the Dawg Pound has been the play of linebacker Christian Kirksey, who leads the National Football League with 94 tackles. Having said all of that, if the Steelers can’t get well in this game, there may be no hope for the rest of the season. Normally, that is where you want to be. We all know about the unbeaten 1972 Dolphins side and the Patriots near miss a few years ago. Ben Roethlisberger is 19-2 against the Browns.
The Cleveland Browns have another divisional matchup this week against the arch rival Pittsburgh Steelers.
You are talking about two young men on our team that I have a lot of respect for, who have a voice in that locker room and that when they come back, there are messages that they can bring back. “Especially for me personally”.
Pittsburgh’s prodigious quarterback grew up in OH, and as the 2004 draft neared and after a workout for Cleveland, he thought the Browns would select him in the first round.
Kim: Thankfully for the Steelers the AFC North division is going to take relatively minimal effort to win.
Roethlisberger’s dominance has taken some intrigue from the Browns-Steelers rivalry. Yes, these are the Browns we’re talking about but since the Steelers are on the road they should stick with pounding the rock.
