Ben Roethlisberger (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/nfl/players/6770;_ylt=Au1iP6uE5PPg8r1VIDucVck97Ox_;_ylu=X3oDMT FycHRwNmxkBG1pdANBUlRJQ0xFIEFydGljbGUgQm9keQRwb3MD MQRzZWMDTWVkaWFBcnRpY2xlQm9keUFzc2VtYmx5;_ylg=X3oD MTJtc3NxaWpjBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDZG FiYjg5ZGMtODI1Zi0zZDllLWEwMDctNTk1YWNlYzQ4YWY3BHBz dGNhdANuZmwEcHQDc3RvcnlwYWdl;_ylv=3) would like to clarify something. Pittsburgh's new ''no-huddle'' offense doesn't mean ''no rules.''

Nor is it an invitation for the quarterback to turn every snap into a chance to chuck it deep.

''I think people need to realize that just because we're in the no-huddle and we're calling the plays doesn't mean I'm calling all passes,'' Roethlisberger said.

And I never suggested otherwise. HOWEVER, the stats don't lie on this one. No-huddle is primarily a pass-first mode. i believe it's something like, ON AVERAGE, 70/30 pass when teams run it.

PLEASE don't misquote me. I can barely tolerate your misguided and misplaced condescension, but I really don't want to see you constantly misquoting me.
