Ben Roethlisberger says he and Bruce Arians wanted to pass more

[polamalubeast]

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wanted to throw the ball more than he did in 2010. He says Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians wanted to throw the ball more in 2010, too.

So why didn’t they?

Roethlisberger doesn’t come right out and say why, but he implies in an interview with Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Arians was prevented from passing as much as he wanted to because of outside pressure, perhaps from head coach Mike Tomlin or perhaps just from a general sense that NFL offenses need to be balanced.

“If he were, I don’t want to say ‘allowed,’ but his preference would be to throw the ball more, use the weapons we have and throw it,” Roethlisberger said. “Mine’s the same way.”

Not really news. Any QB wants to pass more.
