Big Ben

[Drink IRON City]

I disagree, The Ravens won a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer. You can win a championship with a Damn good defense, A solid running game, and a game managing QB. Rudolf can be the game manager, We have a damn good defense, and Najee is an elite runner...All we need IMO is a few pieces to solidify the Offensive line and for Tomlin to GTF out of the way of the play calling.

I agree with everything said but also note the problem of Coach Tomlin. In order for us to get a SB win we need qwicker thinking / little more X - Os / adjustments made on the fly / play calling, all pertaining to current coaching staff including coach Tomlin. We have a GREAT core both "D" & "O" as we have had great Core(s) in the Tomlin past yet I don't see the PO victories adding up and that was with a HOF QB still in near prime at his disposal.

In being optimistic, if Banner can come in and nail down the RT spot, slide Chuks to RG.

Turner needs to be gone.

if Ben has more than 2 seconds to throw, he is still effective. I can see now that he's not too trusting of the guys in front of him. Put a giant like Banner over there, beef up the OL and that might help.

Communication with Ben and the WRs is not going to get better if they're all sitting around this week. I'd have a normal week of practice, but emphasize offense. A good offense is within reach of our offensive offense. If we just become average, the defense can get some rest and keep us in games. Ben and the WRs need to work a lot more in practice on timing, etc. Right now, the closest to a sure thing at WR is DJ. And some say he's soft. Well, those soft shoulders gonna have a bigger payload going forward until Mapletron can get out of neutral. Hopefully Miller can come in and make some kind of an impact.

Regardless, the offense needs a lot more work than what they've been putting in.

The light is turning on for Najee and despite an early bye, it might help keep him and Green from hitting that rookie wall too hard. Shouldn't effect Muth at all, though, considering he's not getting as much PT as the other two.

100 percent agree with this post. However, why are our WRs never wide open? Where is the separation I see for lots of other teams? Is it the scheme? Is it rout running? I'm exaggerating some, but it seems most every throw is in such a contested fashion for Ben.

Agree! Even when the play breaks down and Ben scrambles, nobody breaking free like the old days when somebody would almost always get open.
I'm not sure these receivers are very good at finding that soft spot in coverage. Although this season the play seems to break down after only 2 seconds. Not much time.

Seems it is the beginning of the end for Big Ben my heck of a run. One of two QB's that have been stable in that position over in the Steelers. Other one was Bradhaw.
