Ben Roethlisberger leading way at OTAs

[stillers4me]

Ben Roethlisberger merely confirmed after the Pittsburgh Steelers' final practice this week what his actions on the field the last two weeks have shown.

"I feel younger than ever," the Steelers quarterback said Thursday.

That much is evident by Roethlisberger doing some extra jogging in when he is not running the Steelers' offense during organized team activities. Or directing a two-minute drill that ends with him firing a touchdown pass to Pro Bowl wide receiver Antonio Brown on a slant pattern, something Roethlisberger did Thursday.

The only time Roethlisberger shows his age -- he turned 32 in March -- is when the 10th-year veteran is directing an offense that is his now more than at any point of his decorated career.

Roethlisberger may not be Peyton Manning with all of the hand gestures and barking of signals, but he is not far off.

And it is only June.

No one is more responsible for an offense that came into its own in the second half of last season integrating new players and inexperienced ones than Roethlisberger........

Assuming the injury bug stays the hell away from Pittsburgh, I can see big things from this team this year... a lot of young blood and a team that has the taste of 2 straight subpar seasons in its mouth. Look for Ben to have a very good season this year.

Chances Ben makes it through two full seasons healthy?

Steadily increasing, especially if Munchak the Savior accomplishes half of what we expect from him.

What are the odds of Pouncey playing a full season?

What are the odds of Marcus Gilbert and David DeCastro not taking the whole line and each other out?

This is possible


Between 2006 to 2010, Ben has only missed one game due to injury
