From the moment Hines Ward waited to walk with him to the practice field at Saint Vincent College, lending moral support for his first appearance in public on the opening day of training camp, to the night he stood in the locker room at Heinz Field, knowing it was the last time he would be with his teammates until Oct. 4, Ben Roethlisberger impacted the Steelers in more ways this summer than probably anyone even imagined, maybe even more than when he was helping them win two Super Bowl titles.

The Steelers players need to concern themselves with their own performances on the field and not give Ben's absence a second thought. As I always say - good teams overcome adversity. As long as everyone does their job and does it well, they'll be just fine.

Hopefully he stays at home and watches the game with no beer and stays out of trouble. It would be interesting to see if he meets a nice girl whom he can settle down with during this period.
