Is Ben going to play tomorrow?

[BuckeyeSteel]

I'm guessing he plays...

[Steelerfan81]

Ben took all the snaps in practice yesterday, according to John Clayton yesterday on ESPN.

[Pitt Charlie]

Tomlin downplayed the injury said it wasn't significant

[CAH]

Player Injury
A. Frazier/ LB Q - Groin
B. Roethlisberger/ QB Q - R Shoulder
B. McFadden/ CB P - Ankle

[Doc]

Glad to see Santonio and Troy off the injury report.

Ben's gonna play. Not like he has enough time to launch a deep ball anyhows..

Perhaps Tomlin took a few notes from the Belicheat notebook,.....and will leave Ben on the injury report for the rest of his career.

none the less, I hope that he plays

[Lunar7]

I hope he plays Thursday.

[SteelerFan448]

Sounds like it was a big deal made about nothing.

[fdsannie]

I read that it was a game time decision.

[Supersteeler]

I didn't catch the entire comment, but I just heard Paul Alexander on FSN Pittsburgh say that he would not be surprised to see Ben sit out tomorrow. Don't know what that's about.

[LeXX75]

from what I read..the longest pass he threw Friday was 15 yds and it had no zip..so we shall see....

Where did you see that? I don't remember reading or hearing that anywhere. I saw that he was evasive when asked about airing it out, but it wasn't that specific. Do you have a link?. Thanks.

saw it on rotoworld

[mightyguru]

still listed as questionable....Coach Tomlin with a little bit of gamesmanship hopefully.

[OhioSteel]

saw it on rotoworld

Thanks, I hope they are wrong. We need this game bad.

[Jmat]

I was hearing on the radio that Ben didn't have much on his throws Friday when he practiced.
I reckon we'll find out.
Ben has a bad taste in his mouth from the last time we played J'ville.

[In Ben We Trust]

If you get the chance go to kdka's web site and look at Ben's practice throws yesterday. If that is an indication of how he feels....he's not playing.

[Chicoman]

I don't want to see Ben go if he's not 100%. All this talk about no zip on this throws is not a good sign. My only concern with Charlie is he might get killed behind that O-line against the Jags D.

[Quick Draw]

Ben has a shoulder.

[Stoney]

All the sacks were Ben's fault for holding on to the ball too long. The line is going to look great with Charlie back ther, you'll see.

[TDX27]

We will need to score in this game but if the weather is bad, running and short passes will do. So, if he can't go, let's hope Batch can manage the game. He has done well in the past when Ben has sat.

[GoSteelers]

anyone hear what exactly is wrong with the shoulder? rotator cuff injury, would be cause enough for no zip on the ball

[Lunar7]

Anyone? anyone?

[Scott T]

why would he not?

[Tempest]

Still questionable on injury report buy I can't image him not playing.

[slanchor]

well he did practice fri so he probaly will if not batch can do the job

[SteelChamps]

Knowing Ben, he will play.

Batch is a good backup, and I would feel comfortable if this was any other team but the Jags...

[GoSteelers]

Still questionable on injury report buy I can't image him not playing.



MY (image) of Ben? 5 td's and 300 yards passing.

[Steel Conviction]

Short passes? What are those? I don't think Arians has any of those in the playbook. :D

[TDX27]

True, very true

[SteelerFan448]

Short passes? What are those? I don't think Arians has any of those in the playbook. :D

He hasn't had many deep throws in the playbook either.

[SteelerinMD]

From what i have read and what i take from what i have read...Ben will play and be fine. I think it was a chess match with the Jags. Ben passed and played the entire game against the Cheats and nowhere did i see any problems with his shoulder.

Batch has a quick release, so that should offset the pass rush of the Jags.

[Stoney]

Should we sign Vick and get him on a work-release program?

[steelrazor]

Just reported on CBS -Ben will start.
