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.
