"It was, 'He's our coordinator, if you want to ask questions about play calling, go ask him about it. "It (the comments) was not directed at Coach Haley, like 'Go ask him, I don't know why we didn't do it,'" Roethlisberger said. You could probably ask him," Roethlisberger said to reporters.Īppearing on the #1 Cochran Ben Roethlisberger Show Tuesday morning, Roethlisberger stated his comments were taken out of context. There was speculation that the Steelers' quarterback was at odds with Haley when he was asked on Sunday about the team's game plan in the second half against Miami. Wish he said this to every player.PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan)- Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger reiterated that he has no issues with Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley and that comments he made in regards to the team's game plan Sunday were taken out of context. It's going to be a sad day when #7 hangs 'em up. And I talked with him, I saw him today, and he was focused on this week and what he can do.” But the other side to that coin is you have to move on. You expect a guy that wants to make every play and he wants to do that. I think it will always sit in the back of his head and his mind and his heart that, ‘what if’, ‘I wish I would’ve’, because that’s what you expect from a professional.

I think he’ll always endear himself to the fans and to us as a guy that’s going to never quit and never give up.” Some of the things he did in the end of the third and fourth quarter I think spoke volumes of the person, the player, the heart that he has. I think we had a third and short or fourth and short and he ended up bouncing off three guys, running back this way, running the guy over, catching a touchdown, blocking. And you’re going to have every right to kind of back off and not quit but say let’s send another back in or not run hard.’ I said whatever you decide is going to endear yourself to these fans. Published: at 11:46 AM Jeremy Bergman Digital Content Editor The Jacksonville Jaguars ' secondary shook Ben Roethlisberger to his core on Sunday afternoon, picking off the bulky. I said, ‘Hey, what you do, the rest of this quarter, and the fourth quarter will really determine the kind of the person and the player that you’re going to be moving forward with the city, with the fans, with this team because you’re going to be here for a long time. I told him I know he was frustrated as we all were. “I had to talk with Najee maybe halfway through the third before we really kind of started to make our run last week. ![]()
