    As much as I dislike Ben, I would have to say that he is probably one of only 3 QB's who actually do as well, if not better, under pass rush pressure than sitting in the pocket. he's elusive, fearless, and know's coverage breaks down if it looks like he's going down and therefore gets great plays off. If we get that type of pressure against the other 26 QB's in the league the team will rack up a lot of sacks.

    If he wasn't great he wouldn't be playing for the Steelers right now.

    this has been our problem for ten years,and the reason why we can;t get past the hurdle of Brady,Manning,Ben etc. W'ell get them every once in a while,but for the most part they either have all day and pick us apart,or we lose a man in coverage and they get a quick one off.

    We got hands on him, improvement from the first week. It was frustrating to watch because we were so close a couple times.

    Against Tannehill I expect big things from the front 7.

    or the fact that Roethlisberger would swat him away like an annoying fly, if he could do it to Harris.
