There's no way around this: Big Ben is probably just old and the injury basically killed his ability.

[@jordan390a]

The Steelers biggest problems last year were: Ben's surgically reconstructed throwing arm/elbow which they tried to protect later in the season. He may have partially re-injured what what had been repaired. Loss of key defensive players down the stretch led to them not being able to get off the field to protect the offence. One of the worst Steelers O-lines I've ever seen. They couldn't run block at all or pass block for more than 3 seconds. Pouncey and De Castro were clearly done, and defences figured out how to beat Villanueva. Schedule disruptions due to Covid-19 and no real off-week. Too many cooks in the kitchen and not enough focus.

[@Leeedy_1]

As a Steelers fan I agree with everything you said. And speaking of Villanueva, he was a guy that I never liked. Even in his prime, I always found him the weakest of our what was a great offensive line.

[@praetorian9823]

A large part of it is having 38 year old Ben Roethlisberger throw 50-60 times a game, and having no running game. Believe me, as a Packer’s fan who shudders every time I think of 2011, not having a running game, will screw you over bad.

[@Austheboss-kc6dm]

Guess the Steelers really were afraid of his elbow injury popping up again. Elbow UCL tears are no joke, Ben’s beyond lucky to be back in pads honestly

The fact of the matter is, the Steelers need to start looking into the 2022 draft QBs now because even with Najee Harris and a full offseason for their receivers, their offense won’t be significantly better due to Big Ben’s age.

I went back and watched Super Bowl 43 recently, and it's pretty remarkable to see the swagger of the old Big Ben. He used to pocket waltz through defenders trying to take his head off. Great that he has a new offensive coordinator now. The Steelers have a really rough schedule though, and David DeCastro was just released. They're gonna have to figure something out so that Ben doesn't get popped and dropped every snap. I still think they should have done something else than get a new running back as their first round pick.

[@Leeedy_1]

Well David decastro showed how washed up he was last year and he’s been very injury prone the last 2 years so it’s not as surprising as people think that we cut him. Besides, the RB’s on our roster are ok, but they’re definitely unproven so that area did need to be addressed, too while we also drafted 2 o-lineman later in the draft that many people forget about

It was not Ben. It was the o-line. No time to throw more than short passes. It was not technique or assignment issue it was just an issue of getting over-powered and pocket compressing quick. I think o-line was main issue (why we can’t run either), and not sure enough was done to address the issues. I think Ben has a couple years left in the tank but it won’t matter if line doesn’t get a lot better.

[@stephenw1240]

Remember the pistol formation the Bronco's put Payton in? He said he felt more comfortable there and the OC went with it. When your QB gets older you may want to change things to protect them, but in the end they need to feel comfortable. That pistol set up makes the play action even more difficult to read. I wonder why no body ever copied that championship winning old man formation?

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

The Steelers actually used Pistol here and there this past season. It's more of a comfortability thing, so if Ben likes it maybe they'll use it more. Ben is pretty particular with what he likes, so we'll see if they use it more

[@neimie2697]

I agree for the most part. I will say Ben has been a quick release guy for like 5 years now but he was at least still aggressive before. He barely played 2019 but He was fastest 2018, I think he was 7th or 8th 2017, and middle of the pack 2016. He has been getting rid of the ball quick for a while now. The line falling apart and zero running game consequently I think has a lot more to do with it then Ben's play style being different which I know you addressed. Hopefully with a the majority of the pieces being different next year it will look better. Gotta believe in Matt to make something less predictable

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

You're 100% right! I was surprised to see he was top ~10 in release in those years you mentioned. But 2.11 like it was this year is a pretty shocking difference. I hope it's not cause he doesn't want to get hit, cause that would be a major issue

[@zakaryw]

As a Steelers fan, there’s no denying that Ben played poorly towards the end of the season. There’s definitely lots of reasons for concern for the upcoming season, but Ben had to learn a new throwing motion due to his injury. Combine that with an incapable OC and a mid season knee injury that destroyed his lower mechanics, it’s definitely understandable. I believe Ben could be able to lead a winning team with a good running game and a new OC

"Is Ben Roethlisberger the reason the Steelers offense crumbled?" Yes, and yes. The PIT-KC game was the only sure bet in this years' playoffs. Big Ben's set up to throw until releasing the ball took circa a lifetime (I first realized this in the reg. season game against KC), the velocity must have been below zero. There are not that many opportunities to have a relative safe bet in the super efficient NFL betting market... I dont know what happened to the arm of Roethlisberger, but it looked more dead than McMahon's arm when he threw knuckleballs whith his nerves damaged and the neck broken (and only God knows what else)... Big Ben should have been benched, as bad as it sounds.

[@Hollowsmith]

To All You Media Clowns that hate on Big Ben, please read this: it's his ACTUAL career resume. - Since the Steelers hired him 18 years ago, they've had ZERO losing seasons (the Steelers had 3 losing seasons the prior 6 years before his arrival, so don't claim "the Steelers are always good". No. The reality is they were losers for awhile before Ben arrived, but Ben's style keeps teams in ballgames via backyard-football ad-libs that coaching and player talent struggle to account for. This is the same guy that took Miami of Freiken Ohio to end the season in ranked Top-10 in the country in 2003 before going pro. A school that hasn't even been ranked since he left and hadn't been ranked for over 20 years prior to his arrival! He has a knack for winning football games consistently no matter who is the coach or what level of play he's at. I don't know about you, but "usually winning the game" is up there in quarterback statistics I value. - That 18 year run of ALWAYS having the Steelers at least in the hunt, has included 11 playoff runs, 5 conference championship games, 3 Super Bowls, and 2 Lombardis...including the most epic touchdown pass (and catch) in Super Bowl history. In fact, he's 1 playoff win away from a tie for 3rd all time, and a Super Bowl run would tie him with Montana at 16 playoff wins behind only Tom Brady. Why don't you portray him in a way that reflects how much success he's had? - He can pass Marino for 5th in all-time yardage this year. He can pass Brees for 4th on the all-time wins list. Own it. Own his level of greatness. Own the company he's in if you're portraying him honestly. - His A-game is as epic as ANY quarterback in history. That's not my opinion. That's a statistical face. He has the most 500 yard games in history. He's also tied with Peyton Manning for the most perfect passer rating games in league history so it's quantity AND quality A-game stats. The man threw 6TD's in BACK TO BACK GAMES. No other quarterback in NFL freiken history has ever done that! Ben's A-game has been otherwordly, at the level of Brady, Rodgers, Montana, Mahomes, ANY quarterback you name. Again, ignore your "opinion" and acknowledge these statistical facts. - Even NOW, you clowns can't shut up after he JUST GAVE YOU the AFC North crown over media darlings like Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield. He gave you an 11-0 start that put him top-5 in Vegas MVP odds 3/4ths of the way through LAST SEASON, off 5-tendon surgery in his throwing elbow at age 38. You pricks, you. Listen to yourselves. - Even the playoff game (which required making the playoffs- something most quarterbacks fail to do each year), saw him throw for over 500 effing yards and four touchdowns. Yes, he threw too many picks that game, but the defense played like swiss cheese, he had no running back worth a damn, and his offensive live was in tatters. And he STILL damn near got them back in that game until Tomlin (inexplicably) punted on a 4th and 1 midfield on a drive that could have gotten the Steelers within 1 score with 10 minutes to go. Ben did his job to atone for his mistakes and get us back in the game, and Tomlin made a poor coaching decision. I mean for god sakes. What does Ben Roethlisberger have to do to get media respect? OH I KNOW! He has to win popularity contests like MVP's and All-Pro awards. A lack of popularity the media has always maximized on Ben. I get why. We all do. Ben was accused of sexual assault when he was younger. But the thing is, not only wasn't he convicted, he wasn't even charged. This is a country of innocent until proven guilty for a reason, and I'm going to respect that principle with regard to Ben, and also acknowledge the man he's become over the last decade which appears to be a much better man regardless of what actually happened. We all know that has fueled the media blackout on Ben's greatness. But don't forget, these same media clowns acted like Ben/AB feud was "50-50 to blame" until time proved AB to be clinically insane, and now Ben looks like a magician for dealing with AB for nearly a decade. I'm not going to pretend I know his early allegations for the same reason- I have no idea what the reality was. But one thing is for sure...Ben Roethlisberger has proven himself as an all-time great QB. The evidence is overwhelmingly supportive of that reality. Human voting awards are the ONLY THING that Ben is not "elite" at. And that makes me love the guy even more!

Simple: they passed it too much, and they only used about 3-5 route combinations which made it easy for the defense to predict what was coming next. Other pass-heavy teams like the Chiefs have great pass protection, something that the Steelers lack, and yet they still resort to throwing it 40 to 50 times per game. Their inability to throw it deep also limited their offense greatly. In short, they were one-dimensional, and they weren't even good at the one thing they could do best.

I have one thing to say to all who say Big Ben's washed up lost 4 of his last 5 ,play 4 NFL games in less than 3 wks and tell me how you make out that goes for ex player and you other talking heads,when Ben ran the offense they either one or ran out of time making a come back .

[@bowlchamps37]

Big Ben is also not a good pre snap QB and he never really tried to correct this. His problems with his OCs over the years led to his absurd low number of video sessions and I doubt he does it at home.

[@patrickwilliams4533]

Think I'll take a knee LOL

[@hughmungus8320]

Before I watch the video, I can’t stress enough how bad am OC Randy Fichtner was.

[@hughmungus8320]

I think a lot of the quick release was Fichtner trying to substitute the short passing game for the run game.

[@deonspann6124]

I’m tired of this steeler slander

[@aj6795]

He’s shooting blanks

[@yaahlabanyamyan144]

All those flaws in 2020 and they still made the playoffs. Tomlin is a HOF worthy coach. Belicheck missed the postseason with a better roster. Nevertheless 2021 Steelers : 5 - 12

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Tomlin doesn't get enough love, but their roster was STACKED compared to the Patriots

[@Burgher1605]

Who ride!?!?

[@caseylaster1784]

Yeah he didn’t want to bring up week 15 against Cincinnati 😭

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Oh trust me I watched it, it was absolutely attrocious

[@migueltorcuator2152]

Another one!

[@berinmind]

When you are top five in passing attempt and bottom five in rushing attempt. You will fail

[@cptjaxie1925]

Bens going out. But in an arm sling not slinging. I give it 4 weeks

[@supersonicsandshrew9742]

Big Ben Is the least mobile mobile Qb in history Or the most mobile non mobie qb up to personal preference

[@thomaspetrik6572]

Man, shouldn't they let you at least be a coaching assistant?

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

They would've missed the playoffs if I was coaching for them!! 😂

[@lamontrankinjr.280]

First

[@thompsonappliance3078]

Pitts should have moved on four years ago

[@coyrollins6319]

Love your content! Are we related, btw?

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Yes. Hey

[@chadbrisco4042]

It's hard to admit but we crashed and burned because we were not a good football team anymore. I'm not gonna make excuses about our Offensive Coordinator, Run Game, Defensive Injuries, Wide Receivers not Catching Balls, a Quarterback who's missing throws, a torn up and aged offensive line, other teams horrible COVID habits or the fact that we had no middle linebackers towards the end of the year except for a backup Strong Safety. The point I'm getting at is I expect my team to go out there and play through adversity anyways like they did in 2005 and won a super bowl, like they did in 2008 and won another one and like they did in 2010 and made it to the super bowl. I thought for sure this was gonna be another case of fighting through adversity but we just absolutely sucked. Plain and simple, point blank absolutely SUCKED. Just because we sucked then is no sign we'll suck this year and I'm optimistic but you have to be. Who goes into a season not optimistic? No-one. I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic however just in case. Pittsburgh's my team win, lose or draw. Here we go Pittsburgh, let's go get number 7. #Herewegosteelers

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

I love it Chad! I certainly agree, and they're still one of the most talented overall rosters in the league. The receivers and Ben looked more and more frustrated as the season progressed, I think the receiver corps is seriously underrated

[@nrg6245]

I mean literally they went 12-4 w out a running back so i think they are ok. Its sad when people make careers off of bashing others.

[@nocapvisualz]

Only running 8-9 yards a game, it’s hard to win every game lol

[@jperry200044]

Steel City ya heard meh 💯💯💯

[@BBAERSTANCE1]

Dude it was one season, chill

[@shanedukorn4854]

The offensive coordinator called the quick pass offense, your obviously have no idea what you are talking about... also the running game last year was nonexistent making the passing game worse by becoming too predictable and one dimensional

[@h1m37m]

Nice video, but how tf is mahomes already an all time great?? You could've mentioned manning, brady, or rodgers.
