Roethlisberger sees offense improving 'as a unit'

[polamalubeast]

Ben Roethlisberger believes the Steelers' record-setting offense can be even more dynamic this year, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will put up better numbers.

Roethlisberger threw for nearly 5,000 yards and 32 touchdowns in helping the Steelers put together their most prolific offense season in franchise history that included 129 catches by Antonio Brown and more than 2,000 total yards by Le'Veon Bell.

A year later, and Roethlisberger's biggest challenge may be to help the offense duplicate those stats that helped the Steelers to the AFC North title and a playoff appearance.

Roethlisberger told Trib Total Media on Sunday before the first practice of training camp at St. Vincent College that those numbers might be difficult to attain for a second straight year, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a less of an explosive offense.

What can the Steelers’ offense do one season after its best production in history?

More, Ben Roethlisberger said today in an interview with the Post-Gazette. After scoring a franchise-high 436 points last season, their goal is to score at least 30 points a game in this one.

“We want to start fast and we want to be able to put 30 points on the board in every game,’’ said the Pro Bowl quarterback as he enters his 12th NFL season.

At 33, Roethlisberger said he and his arm are in tip-top shape and that he is surrounded with perhaps the best talent he’s ever had from offensive line to Antonio Brown and his receivers and Le’Veon Bell at halfback.

“That group in front of me is as good as any in the league, and as good as any I’ve ever had. It’s great.

“Then you look at outside receiver. AB is as good as anybody in this league and arguably one of the greatest that I’ve played with. Just all around on offense, we have just a special group. It has a chance to be really good.
