During a recent interview on 93.7 The Fan, Steelers starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he’s not expecting to play in the team’s Sunday night game against the Falcons..
“That’s what I’ve been told, yes,” Roethlisberger said when asked if he’ll sit out the team’s second preseason game.

I do want to see more Dobbs. See if shook off his butterflys and if he can really play.
Re: Roethlisberger Expects To Sit Out Second Preseason Game
Since Jones is not the answer for Ben's replacement, I hope they play Dobbs as much as possible in order to determine IF he has the potential to be our long term answer at QB.

This. Game 3 is the real practice game for the starters.

Good, he doesn't need it anyway.
Looks like Dobbs may get another start, unless Jones returns from injury.
Re: Roethlisberger Expects To Sit Out Second Preseason Game
That's what usually happens. Ben and the starters usually don't play until Game 3.

Why? Jones hit his ceiling and he'll never be more than what he is. He took that role and he appears satisfied and content in keeping it. If Jones was the next man up, the Steelers wouldn't have drafted Dobbs in the first place.
It's Dobbs time. Time to see what he can really do.

Yeah I would like to see what Dobbs can do and, look at Connor at RB.
