The Doctor is In: Ben Expected to Beat Odds

[Steelman]

This is a very good, detailed report from Melanie Friedlander, a surgeon who happens to be a Steelers fan and is now assisting the fine folks at Steelers Depot. She also illustrates shoulder injuries, specifically the AC joint sprain.

If you're on Twitter, be sure to follow her. She posts all kinds of great takes.

I think Roethlisberger will play, but I am afraid that Ben be too limited for this game, which is far from being ideal.Only the dink and dunk not work in the nfl.

You could be right, but I know for sure Landry Jones will not work in the NFL.

Sure...I prefer a Roethlisberger limited than a Landry Jones 100% healthy.The games against the Cardinals were a fluke, since the cards were not prepared against him.

Please be type I. Please be type I. Please be type I.


EDIT: Ben isn't wearing a sling today, makes it likely a Type I sprain, and manageable at that!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Cardinals thought Jones was just going to hand off all game. When Jones came in they were probably like "LOL this guy is just going to hand off - OH SHIT HE THREW A TD PASS! WTF!?" The Cardinals actually seemed rattled by it.

Obviously a fake photo. Ben doesn't study film. :sarcasm:

Simple, if Ben doesn't play we lose.

What do you mean the dink and dunk can't win, the Cheats have been doing that Brady's entire career . . . and it seemed to work pretty well against the Bengals that last drive. We have 2 of the most dynamic after the catch WR's in the game and Wheaton is becoming a clutch over the middle difficult catch WR. Add to that Heath and any of the 3 RBs out of the backfield and we have a very good dink and dunk game. If that has to be out gameplan, that will certainly work against anyone.

Dink & dunk is about all Manning can do. Plus I don't think Manning will hold up if butler blitzes often. I really feel good about this game big underdogs.
