Interesting read.

Roethlisberger says he likes the dink-and-dunk offense
Posted by Mike Florio on October 26, 2012, 10:36 AM EDT Pittsburgh Steelers v Cincinnati Bengals Getty Images As Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Steelers offensive coordinator inch toward a confrontation that coach Mike Tomlin regards as inevitable, Roethlisberger is fashioning a tapestry of passive-aggressive sound bites aimed at needling Haley or building support from the fans, or both. Over the weekend, Roethlisberger referred to Halleys offense as a dink-and-dunk attack. Though the term widely is regarded in football circles as derisive, Ben now saws that he actually is a fan of dinking and dunking. That wasnt meant in a negative way, Roethlisberger said Thursday, via Jarrett Bell of USA Today. Coach Haley and I had a laugh about it this morning. To dink and dunk, thats moving the chains, and it will open up big plays. The Patriots dink and dunk, too. And when those big plays come, maybe Roethlisberger will refer to the offense as chuck and duck. In a positive way. Heres the reality. The Steelers got rid of offensive coordinator Bruce Arians in part because he and Roethlisberger were regarded as being too close, to the point where there was real concern that Arians was creating game plans with an eye toward showcasing the quarterback, which could have impacted the broader effort to win games. Right or wrong, Haleys presence is aimed in part at enhancing the overall effort by not allowing Roethlisberger to get too reckless with the ball or his body. The fact that Haley has yet to engage Roethlisberger via the media is a good sign. The Steelers knew that it would take time for Ben to buy in to the new approach, and theyre wisely tolerating his periodic public pissing and moaning about dinking and dunking or chucking and ducking or whatever he may publicly piss and/or moan about. |

Todd Haley, Steelers offensive coordinator: I realize he had a tumultuous stint in Kansas City and was just fired from there in 2011 and he could be a bit of a hothead ... but he has been a changed man in Pittsburgh and he is doing tremendous work.
Ben Roethlisberger was having his best season ever prior to getting hurt, playing more consistent and restrained football, cutting down on the turnovers and sacks he took with that improvising. Haley has subjugated his ego to work with a quarterback who can be tricky to deal with at times, and he just orchestrated a season-saving road win with Charlie Batch at the helm. Haley has learned from his mistakes, he has overcome a slew of offensive line and running back injuries, an awful year from Mike Wallace and losing Big Ben, handled everything with class, been cool and calm on the sidelines and certainly seems to have learned from his time with the Chiefs. Some might say that next head-coaching gig is another year or more away, and Haley is totally content where he is, but I get the feeling he will have suitors this offseason. http://www.cbssports.com/columns/sto...son-approaches Faster then i thought. |

Really?!
Apparently not. Normally I'm this infatuated with some asian or redhead I've seen on a porn site but whatever floats your boat. The Haley experiment failed no matter the cause..Pioli Cassel Haleys beard. I'm shocked nobodys bumping Gunther threads lately. |

2. Any Chiefs fan who says "could it be any worse?" after 2012 should be forced to take a 3 minute MoHillbilly beating. |

I would have preferred to hire both a competent HC and GM...
