James Jones Takes a Shot at Big Ben Roethlisberger Over His Tom Brady Comments

Big Ben is staying active this NFL season.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger didn’t like what he saw from Tom Brady over the weekend, and he let everyone know about it on his podcast, but former NFL receiver James Jones says he has no right to be throwing shots at anyone.

On his podcast Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, Big Ben said “there’s no way he’s enjoying this – no way.”

“It didn’t look like he wanted to be out there. I mean, maybe it was the pressure and he was getting hit…whatever what was going on…,” Roethlisberger said. “I’m like ‘There’s no way he’s enjoying this. No way.’”

It did appears as if Tom wasn’t pleased with the 20-18 loss to the hapless Steelers and the moment Brady was caught on camera berating his offensive line. Still, James Jones gave Roethlisberger the ol’ “Those who live in glass houses…” treatment.

Jones was on FS1’s First Things First and laid the ex-quarterback’s penchant for lousy body language.

“I wish I was sitting there watching the game with Big Ben because I would’ve said, ‘Big Ben, shut up!’” Jones said. “Because if there’s anything we know about Tom Brady, Tom Brady’s gonna give you everything he’s got. If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t be yelling at his linemen, dropping all those F-bombs and all of that. And for Big Ben to say that – you are the king of looking like you don’t care out there.”

“Every time you get hit – every time something goes bad – your body language is the worst out there. I’ve seen it with my own two eyes on the same field competing against you,” Jones said.

“For him to say this about Tom Brady knowing that … it ain’t about the passion that Tom Brady plays with. So for Big Ben to say that, that’s crazy.”

Jones would know about Ben’s body language. He was part of the Green bay Packers team that defeated Roethlisberger’s Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.

Big Ben will probably think twice before he talks about Tom Brady again
