On target since the Steelers convened in late July for training camp, Ben Roethlisberger has looked every bit like a quarterback in command of the offense.

In three Steelers preseason games -- he didn't play in the final warm-up in Carolina as a precaution -- Roethlisberger threw for 361 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions while posting a 146.6 passer rating.
Roethlisberger, entering his eighth season as a starter, seems as confident and comfortable as ever. Right tackle Willie Colon said there is good reason for that...................

Its going to be the year of Big Ben.

As long as the O-Line is the way it is, I will wait and see how the offense performs in tough situations and in crunch time when it's really needed. Like 3rd and Short or Goal to go situations with a chance to put the game away in a tight game. The Steelers O couldn't do that in 2009 and subsequently had to watch the D fail and lose the game. The first perfect test is the Ratbirds next Sunday.
