“The Steelers will go as far as Ben Roethlisberger can take them.”
That used to be the popular refrain when discussing the Steelers and their prospects for an upcoming game or season.
That actually may still be the case, but only in the most negative sense because Roethlisberger doesn’t appear to be capable of taking the Steelers very far these days.
Now, can this happen if Roethlisberger quickly learns Matt Canada’s offense? Perhaps. Can he do it if the offensive line eventually becomes a cohesive unit that affords the 39-year old great protection? Maybe.
