Hassenauer Praises Roethlisberger For Leadership, Confidence In Huddle

To hear J.C. Hassenauer tell it, Ben Roethlisberger sounds like Shane Falco. Someone who rallies the troops, believes in his guys, and gets them to believe in themselves. Hassenauer spoke with Sirius Radio’s Lance Medow and touched on what it’s like being in the huddle with Roethlisberger.

“When you go into the huddle with Ben,” Hassenauer said, “you get a confidence. You get a sixth sense that surrounds you. Like, dude, this is intense. Like we are protecting this guy. There’s like a confidence that exudes the huddle when he’s leading. I mean, it’s the same with all quarterbacks, but when you have a guy like him, it’s just different.
