Bruce Arians’ Thursday chat with reporters resumed following the Steelers’ bye week, and the offensive coordinator said, among other things, that the return of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will open up the playbook.
Arians also said that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will dress instead of Antonio Brown against the Browns. The two have been waging a weekly battle for what coach Mike Tomlin calls a game day “hat.”
Sanders will serve as the Steelers’ No. 4 wide receiver and primary kickoff returner Sunday at Heinz Field while Brown won’t dress for the first time since the season opener.
What follows is a transcript of Arians’ talk with reporters following Steelers’ practice today.
Q: With Ben is everyone less afraid to make mistakes and therefore it makes everybody play better?
A: “I think he brings an air of confidence to the whole group because of what he has done in the past. Because of what he has done in the past, his resume, as coach (Mike Tomlin) would say is pretty daggone good. It brings an ‘OK’ we’re not afraid to call this’ because if we get behind the chains we have a chance to get back out. That makes it a little easier. And I’m excited to see him play. I think he’s more than ready.”.......
