WATCH: Ben Roethlisberger gets owned during pass-rush practice

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger

Ben Roethlisberger had better thank his lucky stars opposing NFL teams can’t defend him by rushing blocking pads at him.

Both Roethlisberger and backup Bruce Gradkowski were charged with avoiding blocking pads being thrown at them during a day of practice. While Gradkowski adequately dodged his “rushers,” Roethlisberger was not so fortunate.

The first one seemed to legitimately get the better of Roethlisberger. On the subsequent two, Big Ben seemed to almost go out of his way to make contact, swatting one out of the air and bowling the other over.

It’s not a bad strategy, and if anyone can do it it’s Roethlisberger. But as big as he is, something makes us doubt that even Big Ben would try to employ such a casual strategy when players like J.J. Watt and Geno Atkins are charging.
