Nice article by Adam Schefter. Here is one paragraph of note for the upcoming game:


Of all the plays Denver must defend Monday night against Pittsburgh, the one it has to fear the most is the play-action fake: No quarterback in football has been more effective off the play-action fake than Roethlisberger. This season, when using play-action, Roethlisberger has a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating, completing 25 of 29 passes for five touchdowns and no interceptions, according to an ESPN video analysis. Part of the reason might be that, over the years, teams have had so much respect for Pittsburgh's running game that it has aided the Steelers' passing game. But gradually, the Steelers have transformed from a run-first team to a pass-first team. And the play that it has affected most is the play-action fake.

Go to ESPN to read the rest of his article: 10 Spot: Awards for now -- and later (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=schefter_adam&id=4623504)

Equally of importance is its ability to slow the pass rushers.

Ben pump fakes are impressive and he uses it to create space for his WR to get loose. Add that to the play action and that makes him extra hard to defend. It's going to be a serious duel this Monday.

I really, really, really, really don't like Roethlisberger and I adore him compared to Ward. Living in Steeler country, I can't tell you how much I want us to destroy these guys. Steelers fans make Cowboys fans seem tame.
