Roethlisberger Injured

[Drink IRON City]

this offense isn't great with Ben. cant imagine how ****** it would run without Ben

Slight chance of seeing that Monday. I hope he is healthy enough to play (Ben).





Salute the nation

I don't want to see Rudy running it that's for sure. But, if Ben is hurt he's hurting the team if he's not playing to his potential.

I hope he plays but Rudy better be ready...

A hell of a lot "BETTER READY" than our back up feild goal kicker was.!!

Meh you all know that I have faith in Rudy but I still rather would have Ben play well

The one thing I don’t want to see is Rudy start … not because I don’t think he can cut it, because no matter the result that comes from it, it will cause some major. Kneejerk reactions from the media that will hang over the season

Ben is our best shot at a super bowl.. period

I would have said the same thing BUT...

After watching the performance of some of the backups in the league this year (Dallas, Jets, etc...) I wonder 'what' Rudy/Dwayne would look like? As long as Ben plays like the last 3 weeks we'll be fine (I think).

This is the same as Tom Brady being questionable every week for 10 plus years.

Did you know earlier this year Rudolph actually was ranked quite well as a backup… now that might be saying something about the state of backup qbs.. but still last year he was rated in tge bottom ten in every major publication, but this year he was all top half… as high as sixth by nfl.com

NFL's top 10 backup quarterbacks in 2021: Where do Justin Fields, Jacoby Brissett, Taylor Heinicke rank?

It's only Week 3, but a number of teams are already dealing with injuries at the game's most important position. With that in mind, Nick Shook ranks the top 10 backup quarterbacks in the NFL today.

The guy has some potential.. he does. But that doesn’t mean that even now he is even close to Ben’s stratosphere…

No one Wants to see Rudolph start though if it gets to that I bet he will do way better than most think.

 

[SanDiegoSteeler]

This is probably naive thinking but if the ratbirds and bungles lose sunday and ben ain't at least 90% give rudy a chance.

I think you are right on this. When Rudolf had to start it was under Randy Fitchner toolage, not a good thing. Randy never opened up the play book or so we thought but found out Randy only had 14 plays in his playbook.

If Reindeer has to start I hope like hell they don't cut down his playbook or handicap play calls to him. Canada should be better at matching plays to Rudy unlike Fitchner did.


Ben will start.

Ben will start.

I think so too on both points. I hope if Ben is still hurting he doesn't wreck his shoulder.

A brief clip showing the offense practicing without Ben:

Not promising.

HILLARIOUS

Couldn't tell if that was practicing without BEN or celebrating no Odell.

They should just list Ben on the injury report every week as OLD

Old guys are creaky

What? No love for Haskins today? 🙂
