Ben spoke briefly to the media today prior to practice. A couple of the highlights:
Q: “How much fun would it be for a quarterback to have guys like T.O., Ochocinco…”
Ben: “Mike Wallace, Hines Ward, Emmanuel Sanders. I love them. I wouldn’t trade my guys for them, and that’s no offense to either one of those two guys. They’re great receivers but I wouldn’t trade my receivers for anyone.”
Q: “Would you make room for Randy Moss in the offense?”
Ben: “Uh, you know what? He’s a great player. Like I said, I like the guys we have and I wouldn’t trade them for anybody.”
