slowly ??

he played 80% of the def snaps so slowly is a curious word to use IMO LMAO

I'm guessing by "slowly" they mean that they'll gradually start working him into stunts, spies, blitzes/ etc instead of using him primarily for containment.

Coach Mike Tomlin said the Steelers will plan on Charlie Batch being the starting quarterback against the San Diego Chargers, but added Ben Roethlisberger will return to practice tomorrow and play on Sunday if he can prove he is capable enough to do so.
"We'll see what it looks like on the football field," Tomlin said today at his weekly news conference. "He'll be given time to prove he is healthy. We'll see where the week takes us, particularly tomorrow.
But he added, "Ben is our quarterback and if he's capable of playing, we'll play him."
A team source told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the Steelers expect Roethlisberger to play against the Chargers on Sunday.
Meantime, Tomlin confirmed that cornerback Ike Taylor has a hairline fracture in his right ankle and will not play against the Chargers. Taylor is expected to miss at least two games, and possibly more.
