Tackling Big Gay Ben

The Browns Board

  • Big Gay Ben

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Big Bum

    I did find this on Foxsports regarding Pittsburgh: http://msn.foxsports.com/fantasy/football/story/9460410

    Offensive line remains a big need for this team. Roethlisberger has been sacked 46 or more times in each of his last three seasons, and eventually, he's going to suffer a serious injury blow because of it. They paid him a truckload of money, so now it's time to start worrying about his protection.

    Glad I checked. Maybe Big Ben deserves a bit more credit than even the Steelers fans have given him. It could be argued that

    he's been carrying his o-line the last three seasons and they still won a SuperBowl. IIRC Detroit gave up 52 sacks last season.

    EDIT: Seriously, if the dude would just get rid of the ball like his coaches have probably told him many times, he'd probably cut the sack totals in half. But he loves to force the issue.

  • 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

  • And to answer the question, I don't think Willie Mcginest had a problem tackling Big Gay Ben as this video shows evident! You just follow his guideline except with a little more enthusiasm. I think the whole defense should be shown this video and told that "this is the way we tackle Big Gay Ben".

    I think it's kind of silly or childish myself..........But damn man! That may be a bit of over reaction there!

    Well how would you feel being a homosexual Brown's fan for life and being compared to a Steeler? Not to mention that I dealt with that crap far too often in HS and college. I won't apologize for being offended by my lifestyle being reduced to a mean spirited label, not anymore

  • I vote for the Turkey Jones method of tackling him.

    Closing this thread and moving on to the next one wouldn't have required any apologies. Probably would've been easier. That label you referred to gets thrown around on the board quite a bit.

    Did you really just today decide it's time to be offended? Maybe you should checkout the cheerleader thread. 🙂

  • sorry had to try it. Big Gay Ben

    Homosexuals are more than welcome on this board, but never, never, never talk about soccer.
