Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger: 'All' of Todd Haley's offense suits me
Jeremy Fowler, ESPN Senior NFL Writer
PITTSBURGH -- When Ben Roethlisberger watches film of last season's games, he can see what about Todd Haley's offense suits him well.
“All of it,” Roethlisberger said in an interview last week. “We work well together. Guys believe in it and believe in each other. That’s one of the biggest keys.”

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and offensive coordinator Todd Haley found a groove during the second half of last season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers open minicamp Tuesday with the optimism of a 6-2 finish to last year's regular season, a stretch during which Roethlisberger threw for 2,572 of his career-high 4,952 passing yards, completing at least 63 percent of his passes in all but one of those games. Roethlisberger’s quarterback rating jumped from 92 in 2013 to 103.3 last season thanks to 32 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
This is a sizable jump for a team that got trounced 31-10 in Cleveland on Oct. 12.
Both Roethlisberger and Haley, who is entering his fourth season as Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator, have expressed happiness with the balance struck between implementing Haley’s quick passing game -- with an emphasis on yards after the catch -- and utilizing Roethlisberger’s ability to improvise, or make “Ben-like plays,” as Haley calls them.
Roethlisberger was sacked 33 times last season, his lowest total since 2005.
