Richard: Tackling Big Ben key on Sunday

Seattle's first-year defensive coordinator respects the unique challenge that "Big" Ben Roethlisberger presents, pointing out that the key to Seattle beating the Steelers Sunday could be eliminating his ability to throw the ball to his talented receiving corps the old fashioned way - tackling him.
