The Ben Roethlisberger Show

Did you miss Ben’s show yesterday?

Re-cap provided by 93.7 The Fan & KDKA:

110216With a bye week to rest up his surgically repaired knee, Ben Roethlisberger joined “The Cook and Poni Show” for his weekly “#1 Cochran Ben Roethlisberger Show” and talked about his progress.

Ben described his knee as “OK” and said he’ll “be careful” and addressed the contradicting reports that surfaced over the weekend.

“It’s amazing how these reports come out when it’s not like we had practiced all week. Nothing has happened. Nothing has changed since last week when I did some individual work. I’m not really sure where the reports come from,” he said.

Ben takes as many hits, if not more, than any other quarterback in the league. The one quarterback on par with him is Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers. Newton spoke out this week about the hits he has been taking and how he sometimes doesn’t feel safe on the field.

Ben shared some advice he’d give Newton about protecting himself.

“The thing I would say to Cam is, he is a big guy. He is a guy that makes plays when he shrugs people off, or he makes people miss. The other thing that when I was talking to some of the guys yesterday at practice, you know, we were discussing this…the thing that I would say to him is, that’s their offense. Maybe he should also talk to Coach [Ron] Rivera. Their offense is a read option, they do a lot of running of the quarterback, so he’s going to take a lot of hits. The referees, they walk a fine line and a judgement sometimes of, is he a runner? Is he a quarterback? Is he in the pocket? Is he out of the pocket?”

Ben went on to talk about what it’s like for the bigger quarterbacks in the NFL.

“It is different when you’re a big guy like he is and I’ve kind of gotten used to it myself. You’ve just got to deal with it. That’s what I’ve done and he’ll be fine. He’s a big guy and he still makes a lot of guys, linebackers and lineman included, look small,” he said.

After seeing the second tie in the NFL this year, and this one happening within the division, Ben was asked […]

The Cape Coral Police Department shows off their grant check

…from The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation!

capecoralpd
From CapeCops.com:

NFL Star, Ben Roethlisberger has made a big donation that will help the Cape Coral Police Department keep citizens safer.

On October 13th, Pittsburgh Steelers’ Super Bowl Quarterback and Findlay, OH native, Ben Roethlisberger, announced the third and fourth grants of the 2016 season from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation at The Giving Back Fund. The Foundation announced that it was distributing grants to the Cape Coral Police Department and the Davie Police Department.

Today, the Cape Coral Police Department was presented with a check, care of the Cape Coral Community Foundation, from the The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation in the amount of $9,974. The Cape Coral Police Department will use this grant to build a new obedience obstacle course to assist with the training of its K-9 Unit.

Lieutenant Dana Coston, Cape Coral Police Department Public Affairs Officer said, “Police K-9 are the pro-athletes of the dog world. Keeping our K-9 partners in top form requires daily training and agility equipment is one of the best tools we have to keep our K-9s fit, agile, and ready for anything. I’d like to thank the officers of our K-9 Unit, Officers Jason Matyas, Bob Reese, and Brian Aponte, without whose expertise we would not have even been able to apply for this grant. Thank you to the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation for making this possible. This generous donation will help our K-9s continue to keep the citizens of Cape Coral, and the officers who protect them, safer every day.”

Fans can support future K-9 grants by joining Ben’s crowdfunding campaign on https://pledgeit.org/big-ben. Big Ben is pledging $1,000 per touchdown this season to his foundation. Supporters can increase the impact by pledging to donate any amount per touchdown.
