In the aftermath of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss to the Arizona Cardinals, The DVE Morning Show had Ben Roethlisberger on to discuss the loss and the state of the team. He was asked about the Steelers’ conservative approach on offense since he retired.
“What happened early in my career, and when I had some of the best defenses, the ’08 group around that time and early on, as a quarterback you should be able to play more free. And I did because I took the mentality of if I turn it over or if something happens, this defense is gonna go three-and-out or they’re gonna get us the ball back.
