Big Ben Has No Recollection of Ravens Beatdowns From last Season

If you're a Steelers fan, you probably have this picture indelibly etched within your memory. That strike was a microcosm using the 2006 season, especially toward the Ravens. there is some thing beneficial to occur of it though: Ben Roethlisberger obtained knocked so silly that he doesn't remember linebacker Bart Scott operating by means of him.

... [T]he Steelers who performed in the 27-0 bashing at M&T loan provider Stadium as well as the subsequent 31-7 humiliation at Heinz Field, the know-how was distressing sufficient without reliving it. "It's beneficial to possess short-term memory space loss," Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger stated before to practice right here yesterday.

I desire I could neglect those two ass-beatings. Some using the gruesome details: huge Ben was sacked nine instances in two games (Pittsburgh didn't touch Steve McNair), the Steelers have been a blended three of 26 on 3rd down, and Roethlisberger was a blended 36 for 72 for 370 yards, a solo touchdown and 4 picks.

And the reason the Ravens have been so successful? They forced the Steelers to throw and, to quote shield Alan Faneca, "It performed into what they would rather hold out on 3rd straight down - confusion - plus they have been accomplishing it on major and 2nd downs, as well." This season, the Broncos featured this type of the fixture method with comparable results, but that loss falls an ideal offer more toward the defense than Roethlisberger, who threw 4 touchdowns and truly tied the rating previous due in the fourth quarter.

Still, until huge Ben proves he can consistently beat teams with his arm, you presume defenses to key on Willie Parker first, and be worried about Roethlisberger later. We'll see how lengthy that lasts.
