Tackling Big Gay Ben
-
IMHO we have lost some games because of the inability to tackle Ben R. To his credit Ben is a big guy who doesn't go down easy, he isn't playing touch football. The question is what will the league consider a penalty when tackling him and what will be considered legal.
I think it is a mistake to try and tackle him high, especially from behind, I think you need to aim for his waistline instead of his shoulders. You also cannot hit him and expect him to drop, you need to keep pushing until he is on the ground. But, will the refs allow us to do this?
Any thoughts?

I didn't use the word 'gay' when I posted this, evidently it must be an automatic thing the board does when someone types in Big Gay Ben
It does happen when you type in Ben Big in reverse, definitely funny

Big Gay Ben - Just wanted to try it

I blame in part the rule change where is a qb is wrapped up outside the pocket the ref can whistle a play dead to fault.
It's a sport for sissies and qbs should be wearing flags if Ben can break a big one because the guy tackling him unwraps and puts his hands in the air after thinking he heard a whistle.
It's total bullshit and ruining the game.

If we really have an automatic gay added in to typing roethlisberger's nickname, the mods ought to be ashamed. We can be grown up about a rivalry w/o acting like jr high kids. I'm out for good and heading for a message board that isn't operated and frequented by childish fans...Looking at you Inspecta and Riffer

Pittsburgh might be our rival, but we are not their rival any more.

I enjoyed that, well done childish mods.
Getting back to the topic. You're right, the big lumbering gay fella is pretty good at staying on his feet and sadly making a good pass at the end of the tap dance with the defense. I think our chances this year come from a much improved inside pass rush and strong side pressure to assist.
Hit early, hit middle, hit hard.

Big Ben does have a hell of a talent for keeping a play going.
Lotsa sacks though. At least 40 three years in a row.
Maybe the browns can add to the sack total with the new faces that have been added on defense.

he still fights you off when you try to tackle him at the waist and can "hip-out and sprawl". it's gotta be a huge hit or at the ankle. twist that foot--not only will it throw his balance off when he gets rid of the ball going down but it might hurt his mobility for the rest of the game and beyond.
ankle ankle ankle ankle ankle.....i just like saying it.
