    The Steelers need Ben Roethlisberger upright, but he won’t change to stay healthy

    LATROBE, Pa.— Few NFL quarterbacks can be properly described as playing the game in rugged fashion. But Ben Roethlisberger, along with Cam Newton and a couple others, is among them.

    Roethlisberger, listed at 6 feet 5 and 240 pounds, is difficult for even the burliest of defensive linemen to haul down in the pocket. He takes hits, often requiring a second defensive player to arrive and help out to complete a sack. He holds the football in the pocket, risking further punishment but giving his receivers a bit more time to get open.

    This is a season in which the Steelers have Super Bowl aspirations, even with wide receiver Martavis Bryant suspended for the year and running back Le’Veon Bell reportedly facing a four-game suspension. But they almost certainly need Roethlisberger healthy and on the field to be the team they plan to be.

    No Ben, no chance. It's as simple as that.
