Steelers offensive coordintor Bruce Arians touched on a number of subjects today during his weekly Q&A with reporters. Among them were the change to his delivery made by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the Ravens defense.
Here are excerpts from Arians' chat with reporters:

Q: Do you have to do anything special with Terrell Suggs?
A: “Yeah, you’ve got to block him. I think he’s their best player along with Haloti Ngata and Ed Reed on that team. They’re very good, they’re solid. There’s nothing you can do as far as double teaming him because the rest of the guys are pretty good. Whoever draws his number, which he flips both sides, you’ve got a job.”

The guy that’s assigned to him’s got to cinch it up and play hard. There really are no guys on that front that we can say ‘We’re double teaming this guy.’ ”

Props to George W


Q: How has he changed his motion?

A: “He’s shortened his delivery. He worked extremely hard with (personal quarterback coach) George Whitfield during that time, and George helped him out fundamentally. It’s kind of like a golfer changing his stroke. It was a minor thing, really, just to get it out of his hand faster.”
