GTBF54 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Coward............. Ben Roethlisberger won’t play until third preseason game Posted by Josh Alper on August 15, 2017, 6:09 PM EDT AP It looks like Steelers rookie quarterback Josh Dobbs will get another extended chance to run the offense when the Steelers face the Falcons on Sunday. Ben Roethlisberger said on 93.7 The Fan, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, that he’s been told that he’ll make his first appearance of this preseason on August 26 against the Colts. The third preseason game is typically a dress rehearsal of sorts for the regular season with starters and other key players seeing their most playing time of the summer. Landry Jones has continued to miss time with an abdominal injury, which likely means Dobbs will get his second straight start. The fourth-round pick had a shaky open in last Friday’s game against the Giants as he threw a pair of early interceptions and finished the game 8-of-15 for 100 yards while also throwing a touchdown. The experience Dobbs is getting now should help his development, although the Steelers surely hope that his playing time will be limited to the summer with Roethlisberger taking as many of the snaps as possible http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/15/ben-roethlisberger-wont-play-until-third-preseason-game/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Things aren't quite right in Pittsburgh land...from Antonio Brown's videotaping nonsense, the RB Bell's holdout, and the Oaf's concussions at QB... not sure the HC has a firm handle on things going on up there...

FentayeJones Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Not surprised... I wasnt looking for him to play and quite frankly he doesnt really need to until the third game. I doubt if Ryan even play more than two series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeriver Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Ryan is the only elite QB that plays in the first two preseason games. Maybe that's why he was the best QB last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you...I still can't believe he let Boswell attempt a rabona on-sides kick against the Ravens last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dem Birds Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It's not uncommon for these little diva bitchass QBs to sit in preseason. I don't think Matt has EVER sat in a game. Even the 4th games he usually plays a drive. That's my QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Chief Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Preseason games 1,2 and 4 mean absolutely nothing to starters. Week 3 is when every team will see their respective starters play a lengthy period so this doesn't matter at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonDaLuvMaker Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I honestly don't think that Ben will be playing much longer. This could be his last. Even though he is a load to take down, he has taken way too much physical punishment over his career due to his playing style. The man has always seemed to miss significant time over recent seasons.
