Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger Says He Won't Change His Style Of Play

[SteveRobWhatever]

Team president Art Rooney II recently talked about Ben Roethlisberger adding a “tweak” to his game, but don't bank on it happening. "I'm not going to change my game," Roethlisberger said, per a Friday CBSSports.com report. "Coach (Haley) can do what he wants to add protection and things like that, but I'm going to play the game the way I know how. It's worked OK for me so far." Pittsburgh wants its 30-something starter to play safer football, with less scampering through front sevens into the heart of the opposition. Haley's scheme caters to this, but here's the problem: Big Ben has played this way from the start. This is what got him here. Tight end Heath Miller agrees, sort of: "I don't think you ask him to change the way he plays, but obviously you want any quarterback on the football team to get hit as least amount of times as possible."
