2011 Super Bowl: Big Ben Roethlisberger Will Struggle

One of the bigger storyline heading into the Super Bowl is the injury to Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey in the AFC Championship game. 

He was a huge part of the offense and the Steelers paid the price with their back-up Doug Legursky. A botched snap ended up turning into a safety.

The center is one of the most underrated positions on the football field and the Steelers need Pouncey. Problem is, all reports out of Pittsburgh say he is not going to play.

That means Big Ben has to play with a center he rarely takes snaps with. This could really throw off his timing and confidence and an aggressive Packers defense goes into the game already knowing this.

The Packers should blitz the Steelers early and often and force the new guy’s hand.

One miss handled snap early could really rattle Roethlisberger and alter the way he plays.

In related news, a bad game by Legursky means he will be looking for a new team. Here are 25 other players that are on the move in 2011.
