So pro football focus senior analyst Bruce grad Kowski this is what he does he looks at tape he looks at numbers and it's been interesting

You know you get into this off season with quarterbacks and teams have to make decisions and Bruce is now joining us live

So I want to talk about big Ben for a while their GM came out last week and give a very lukewarm response to Ben

And as you know as quarterbacks get older drew breeze struggled later in a year

You know there's a big difference Ben was pretty effective early as the season went on that body doesn't react the same way and he had an ugly last five games

What are the numbers say on what big Ben is today?

Well, I mean you're right Colin and there's a reason Ben led the league with the most past attempts out of the shotgun 640

Most past attempts under 10 yards

You know there's a reason this offense was 26th in past play

Explosive past play percentage for us at pff so this offense needs a remake so whether Ben's back or not this offense needs some shaking up

It needs some shifts it needs some motion. It needs some play action pass

They're one of the last in the league with the most pay action pass and Ben was was pray one of the worst quarterbacks in that area

So there is room to develop for this offense now when it comes to Ben and the Steelers look what he has done at Pittsburgh has been remarkable

That though just the backyard type football player he is just give him a ball let him play I've never been around a guy like that

I mean the closest pray Jeff Garcia definitely not on Ben's level, but just a guy that has a knack to play football and make plays

We'll see what happens you know the runes you know that stills organization
