‘Not Utilizing The Guys:’ Steelers’ Offensive Approach ‘Frustrating,’ Ben Roethlisberger Says

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has had its struggles in back-to-back losses, especially in the first half. But former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger thinks one issue is the team not utilizing the skill sets of the guys it does have.

“It was never more apparent than it was [Sunday] night that we need a number two receiver. And Van [Jefferson] is doing a great job and he’s making plays when he gets a chance. But you’re not taking advantage of the slipperiness of Calvin Austin [III] and George [Pickens] is not getting involved,” Roethlisberger said on the latest episode of his Footbahlin podcast.
