Roethlisberger says Steelers line sucks. Picks the Vikings.
#1
Big Ben says it could be a long day for ARod.

"'Olé!' Roethlisberger torches Steelers’ left tackle, flips pick to Vikings"

"Want to see me not touch anybody?" Roethlisberger quipped about Steelers left tackler Broderick Jones.

Steelers great Ben Roethlisberger is picking the Vikings to beat the Steelers on Sunday, mainly because he's extremely concerned about Pittsburgh's starting left tackle Broderick Jones.

"Olé! Olé! Want to see me not touch anybody?" Roethlisberg quipped about Jones on his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger.

"I don't think the line is giving him enough time, and I think it starts with that left tackle," Roethlisberger said, referring to Jones, who has allowed an NFL-high four sacks through three games.

On Thursday, we covered five key stats about Aaron Rodgers under pressure. He's Pro Football Focus' lowest-graded quarterback when under pressure, having completed just 6-of-22 passes while being sacked seven times and throwing a pair of interceptions. According to PFF, 33% of the pressure is coming from rushers blowing by Jones at left tackle.

"I think that the Steelers are afraid to take shots down the field because that forces your quarterback to stay in the pocket and hold it a little bit longer. I don't think the line's playing well enough to do that. I think Aaron's getting the ball out of his hands because he doesn't trust what's going on," Roethlisberger said.

Well, ol' RoethlisBaconDoubleCheeseberger is right there with most of the bobbleheads I've watched this week: A-a-ron can't push the ball downfield due to lack of time, so he's effectively stuck in a "game manager" position. Flores seems to have his number, let's hope for another dominant win against the AFCN...!!
It's officially SKOL SEASON!! LET THE PLUNDERING BEGIN!!

Is it just me and my fantasy team, or does it seem like there are really good defenses everywhere in the NFL this year? Vikings, Packers, Browns, Chargers, Broncos, Seahawks. And I'm not even mentioning the typically good defenses like the Eagles, Ravens, etc. I read somewhere that NFL offenses this year have the fewest yards per game since 2006.
