The World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers received good news and bad news this weekend.
The good news, Big Ben Roethlisberger is looking even better this spring than last. The Pittsburgh coaching staff felt that Ben use to rely on physically ability and will to win in his first couple years. They feel the playoff experience has given Roethlisberger the confidence needed to excel even further as a leader on this Steeler squad. Pittsburgh’s not ready to become a throw first team, but they do believe Ben’s decision making and confidence will make it easier for the team to throw when the run is not successful.
The bad news, Santonio Holmes, the Steelers first round pick was arrested this weekend for disorderly conduct in South Beach. The Steeler organization has little tolerance for off the field problems. They released Plaxico Burress because of his attitude and continuing problems away from the gridiron. This won’t sit well with the Rooney family and I’m sure Holmes will feel the wrath of Bill Cowher.
