I'm not sure if it's true Steelers dedication or simply a warning sign that I have no life, but here I am, two hours into the new year, checking up on the latest BTSC activity.  I want to wish all of you a safe, healthy, and prosperous new year, as well as pose the following question:

If you were any particular Steelers player or coach right now, what would your new year's resolution be?

I am Big Ben Roethlisberger, and my resolution is to make quicker decisions.  During my rookie year, if my first option was not there, I took off running.  This year, I am staying in the pocket and scanning my first, second, third, and check-down options.  By the time I realize that my check-down option is covered, I am usually picking grass and dirt out of my facemask and popping my shoulder back into place.  In the new year I will gain positive yardage on every play.  If my receivers are covered, then a 3 yard QB scamper is better than an ill-advised incomplete pass, and certainly better than a bone-jarring sack.  Early in my career I used to love to take off running with the ball, and I'm gonna bring that back in 2009.  Play me to pass, and I'll run for five yards.  Play me to run, and I'll stand in the pocket and deliver a laser to a streaking receiver.  It's a lose-lose situation for you, NFL defenses!

One for the other thumb!!!
