For a few years now there's been a Rumour that Big Ben has tipping what the play is going to be by his stance.
Steeler Depot just did a tape breakdown to prove this true or false.

Apparently Ben tips run on 95% of their run plays by keeping his back foot flat and just below 90% of their pass plays by lifting the heel on his back foot lol.
I have the Heart of a Lion! I also have a massive fine and a lifetime ban from the Pittsburgh Zoo...

Hopefully it's so subconscious that, even if he tries to stop doing it, he keeps doing it lol
Stupid of their team to tip the rest of the league lol
I hope we take notice

He likely does exactly that. He's also likely been getting away with it for quite some time, because their team was strong and bold enough to telegraph the play, and dare teams to stop them.
Things are different, when your OL is in disarray..
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I was going to say, it shouldn't have taken years for the rest of the NFL to notice this, right? This seems like day 1 stuff.

It would only have taken Luther Van Dam about 3 Qtrs to identify this flaw.

I always assumed Luther was his last name...I had to google it. Now I'm sad because I remembered Jerry Van Dyke is dead.

I stream it often but I subscribe to a VOD and live streaming service for about $400 a year. I don't miss a thing and I love it.

Ben is a fat pig. And I hope the likes of Hendrickson, Hubbard, Reader, Ogunjobi, and Ossai make bacon out of him.
