Ben Roethlisberger Learning New Steelers Offense With Help From His Daughter

Big Ben Roethlisberger, who is now known as Skinny Ben, is working hard this offseason. Not only has he shed the weight, but he’s also studying very hard to learn the new Steelers playbook. Steelers new offensive coordinator Matt Canada has installed an entirely new offense, so Ben is doing whatever he needs to do in order to learn it quickly.

He’s even enlisted the help of his daughter.

Via Brooks Pryor of ESPN.com, Roethlisberger said he received help in his attempts to master the terms of the new offense from his daughter, Baylee. She has helped Roethlisberger by creating flash cards and quizzing her dad on the playbook.

“We’ve done that together,” Roethlisberger said. “There have been some quizzes at home. It’s become as much of a mental offseason as it has physical in terms of learning new things. If you talk about the percentage of new, the run game formations, everything, it’s a high percentage of new. It’s a challenge.”

“If you notice, I’m looking at the wristband quite a bit,” Roethlisberger said. “We all are. All of the quarterbacks are trying to look at it and figure it out.

“New isn’t always bad, new is new.”
