Trubisky And Pickett’s Mobility Will Unlock Canada Playbook

It’s easy to sit here now in retrospect and look back at the 2007 season, but little did we know it that we were witnessing the finest season running the ball that “Big Ben” Roethlisberger had to offer during his illustrious 18-year career with the Steelers. That season, he had 35 carries for 208 yards, with two scores and a 5.8 YPC. This seems like eons ago, as the last few seasons have featured a statuesque Roethlisberger in the pocket, whose game was predicated on a quick-strike passing attack. But how quickly people forget that in his heyday, Ben was considered one of the toughest QB’s to bring down, as his capability in the pocket to make chicken salad out of chicken-you-know-what as 300-pound defenders grasped at his legs was considered one of the finer aspects to his game.
