Noticed since Ben's return, and not just last nights game... that there have been several times when Ben has stepped up, or outside of the pocket with lots of free room to easily scramble for a first down, but chooses to pass like everytime.
I know this is when Ben is at his best making plays on the run, so I say this with some reverence, but if he is coached to take check downs sometimes and not always try for the big play, should he not at least consider scramble & slide and take the guarnteed yardage once in a while.
If he would scramble and run even once, it may pay dividends later in the game and take some coverage away from the receivers when he steps up...
Am I way off base with this thinking? Thoughts Steeler Universe....?
