For the first time since he became offensive coordinator, Todd Haley will be relaying play calls to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger from the coaches booth when the Steelers play their third preseason game Saturday night against the Indianapolis Colts.
Haley has been upstairs calling plays for the first two preseason games — something he hadn’t done in 19 years — but Roethlisberger did not play in those games.
“We’re going to see [how it works],” Roethlisberger said. “We’re going to give it one more shot this week and just see what it does, if it makes communication easier, more difficult, what’s going to happen.
