Vorstellung des Teams » The Pittsburgh Steelers franchise quarterback

Youth Bud Dupree Jersey , Ben Roethlisberger, is known for a very unique skill set. There are just certain aspects of the quarterback position which Roethlisberger just does better than almost anyone else does, and maybe ever has. Try to think of a quarterback of his stature who can elude, fend off, pass rushers and still have the athletic ability to make a play downfield, and you would be tough to find anyone in comparison.Roethlisberger isn’t a runner, like Michael Vick or Robert Griffin III, he is a passer first, and his game has evolved throughout his career. Going from a game manager who would hand the ball off to Jerome Bettis and Willie Parker, and make throws only when necessary, to a field commander who has complete control over the offense, and has put up amazing statistical games/moments.One of the aspects of Roethlisberger’s game which is still improving, is his pre-snap defensive recognition. Some pick it up better than others, but in 2018 Roethlisberger has been able to read the defense far better than he has in the past. The proof is in his passer rating when blitz. Check out the stats of ESPN’s NFL Matchup’s Twitter handle:Possibly one of the most underrated aspects of Roethlisberger’s game has nothing to do with athletic ability at all, yet helps in his passing against the blitz. That would be his hard count. Roethlisberger’s ability to have the defense show their hand by faking the cadence before the ball is snapped has helped him read what the defense is going to try and do Cheap Antonio Brown Jersey , prior to them actually executing the play. The perfect example of this pre-snap read was the game-winning pass and catch to Antonio Brown vs. the Cincinnati Bengals in the waning minutes of the Week 6 contest in Paul Brown Stadium. Roethlisberger gets to his pre-snap reads, and you see the safeties starting to inch closer to the line of scrimmage. Roethlisberger motions Brown into a stacked formation, and the rest is history. Roethlisberger saw the defense bringing the house before the ball was snapped, and was able to adjust. This is something he has done well this year, and if he can continue on this trend will help the Pittsburgh offense move on to bigger, and better, things.Steelers vs. Chiefs: Three Winners and a ridiculously long list of Losers The Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs took part in the home opener at Heinz Field, and the Steelers presented their loyal fan base with a big, fat, ugly loss. The 42-37 defensive stink-fest was nothing to write home about, yet there were some good performances at least worthy of recognition.During the game, some perform well while others fall short of the standard. This is where the Winners and Losers column comes in. After the game, when the dust settles, we decipher who falls into which category. As always, feel free to comment on the list in the comment section below. Be part of the conversation!WinnersJuJu Smith-SchusterStat Line: 13 receptions Authentic Artie Burns Jersey , 121-yards, 1 TD, 19 targetsDon’t look now, but Smith-Schuster is becoming a star before our very eyes. Maybe he’s a beneficiary of the extra attention going to Antonio Brown but, whatever the reason, he’s taking advantage of his opportunities. He may not be the fastest receiver in the league, but he looks every bit the part as he has now gone over 100-yards receiving in back-to-back games.Jesse JamesStat Line: 5 catches, 138-yards, 1 TD, 5 targetsSteelers need a tight end, you say? Jesse James just showed what he was capable of by catching every pass thrown his way and cashing in on his opportunities. Like Smith-Schuster, he may not be the best or most athletic at his position, but that doesn’t make him less valuable. Great game by ‘The Outlaw’.Ben RoethlisbergerStat Line: 39/60, 455-yards, 3 TDs http://www.pittsburghsteelersteamstore.com/joe-haden-jersey , 2 rushes, 9 yards, 1 TDRoethlisberger chucked the ball around the yard 60 times and only completed 39 of those. He looked a bit off at times, missing some open receivers, but Roethlisberger kept the Steelers in this game — not to mention helping to bring them back from 21 points down in the first half. The Steelers lost, but not because of Ben.LosersMike TomlinStat Line: This team is a hot messI’m a staunch Tomlin supporter, but this is getting ridiculous. This team might be one of the most undisciplined in recent memory, and the defense — which should be Tomlin’s forte — is anything but good. Time for the team and Tomlin to put-up or shut-up — and you can feel a seat getting warm.Keith Butler & Randy FichtnerStat Line: This team is a hot messTomlin deserves a lot of blame, but so do the coordinators. The plan for both sides of the ball coming into this game was as bland and ill-advised as any I can recall. When the offense scraps its game plan in the first quarter, that tells you the defense has collapsed and the offensive plan is failing in every sense of the word. Unacceptable.The entire defenseStat Line: Patrick Mahomes threw more TDs than incomplete passesThere isn’t enough space on this platform to write about how poor the entire defense played on Sunday. One sack and the lone turnover — a Cam Heyward-forced fumble — happened after three missed tackles by the Steelers. Just read the stat line over and over again — this defense was awful from top to bottom. No exceptions.Jordan BerryStat Line: 5 punts, 46.4 average, 59-yard long, saved by the 59-yard puntSure, Berry had a great 59-yard punt which led to a Chiefs’ safety, but Berry’s performance this season hasn’t been good. Wouldn’t be shocked to see the Steelers bring in a few punters to make a change Authentic Chris Boswell Jersey , or kick-start Berry.Chris BoswellStat Line: Hasn’t made a field goal yet this seasonWhat is the deal with Boswell? Last year he missed three field goals all season, this season he is 0/2 on field goals, and he’s already missed an extra point as well. Like a golfer struggling off the tee, it looks like Boswell doesn’t know where the ball is going when he kicks it. Boswell is in a bad place right now. Antonio BrownStat Line: 9 receptions, 67 yards, 17 targets — stormed off like a little baby after the gameBrown’s stat line isn’t horrible, but if you witnessed his demeanor and early exit out of the locker room, you’d assume he hadn’t caught any passes vs. the Chiefs. I don’t care about sideline antics. Tom Brady yells at his coordinator and is dubbed a “fiery competitor,” but when others do it they’re “divas” or “pouting.” What bothers me, though, is Brown not facing the music after the game. You think anyone connected to the Steelers actually wanted to talk about this game after the fact? Nope, but they did anyway. Brown still has a lot to learn. Custom Seattle Seahawks Jerseys
