Hines Ward said Ben Roethlisberger's six-game suspension is "justified" and that it is "disappointing" that the Steelers will be without their franchise quarterback for at least the first quarter of the 2010 season. But the veteran receiver, who last season questioned whether Roethlisberger should have played a week after suffering a concussion, said he is standing behind the two-time Super Bowl winner. "I will reach out to (Roethlisberger) to see how he's doing," Ward said Friday after the first of two minicamp practices. "Just get away and talk about life in general." And when Roethlisberger returns after the suspension from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the league's personal conduct policy? "We'll welcome him with open arms," Ward said. "He's still our quarterback, and he doesn't have to win over anybody." Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
As they should if they are a real team and I hope he finaly listens to some of the veterans on the team should pull the team closer!
Funny I just had a dream we beat the Chargers again and Ben hit Hines Ward with a touchdown in the middle of the end zone and then Hines Ward started doing the John Wall dance.
Better to stand behind him than anywhere else where you can't keep an eye on what he's doing. I don't want that man sneaking up on me.
This is a load of crap. He will reach out to Ben? Why hasn't he already done that? I don't recall anyone other then their kicker having Ben's back when this was news.
Little do they know his rapping abilities have evolved to the point that standing behind is actually more dangerous than in front. He has grown a rod on his back with its own Laser Guided Laser System similar to this one
Over time, he will reach out to see how things are...like every now and then...is how I understood it...
