Footbahlin with Ben RoethlisbergerShow Notes
One preseason game can’t crown a season, but it can expose a direction and the Steelers finally looked like they’re choosing one. We hit record right after the opener to talk through what jumped off the screen: the offense has a different feel, the play design creates cleaner windows, and the overall approach looks more like an NFL scoring plan than pure survival football. We also get into the chess match of preseason tape, where Mike McCarthy can show just enough to build timing while still ...

We’re back in the basement after a big win, cracking open a West Virginia wet hop ale (shout-out Turtle on a Post Farm and Big Timber Brewing) and then getting straight into what Steelers fans actually care about: why it felt like nothing worked for three quarters, and why it finally did when it mattered most.&n...
FOOTBAHLIN MERCH: https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/products Poison ivy can put you in a dark place. So can a long NFL season. We start with Ben’s all-time backyard disaster (invasive vines, one missed patch of poison ivy, and the kind of itching that ruins sleep), then we lock back in on what you’re really here for: a Steelers win and what it actually tells us. We unpack Steelers vs Colts from the most honest angle possible: we’ll always take a win, especially one yo...
FOOTBAHLIN MERCH: https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/products Losing in Cleveland doesn’t just mess with the standings, it messes with your head. We’re still trying to make sense of how a game can start with a promising opening drive and end with that familiar feeling of “what did we just watch?” So we go straight through our notes: protection issues, why the road environment changes everything, and the moments where the offense flashes the version of itself we keep wai...
FOOTBAHLIN MERCH: https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/products A session IPA called Trophy Wife, a father-son golf trip in Raleigh, and a steakhouse meal that might crack the top three of all time somehow lead perfectly into what we really came to talk about: a Steelers AFC North win that felt like a full personality change on offense. We break down what flipped from last week to this week, starting with the offensive line. The protection looks calmer, the pocket looks ...

After the Patriots game, we’re in the basement with beers and a stack of ugly facts, trying to explain how the Steelers can win time of possession and still look nonfunctional on offense. We start where football usually starts: the offensive line. When protection breaks down, the run game dries up, third downs become a cliff, and even a ...
