Batch or Dixon?
Much has been said this week about the condition of Ben Roethlisberger’s high ankle sprain. Will he be able to play? Better question…. will he be able to move.
There’s no doubt that if Ben CAN play, he will. But will he be able to be effective? Is it even worth having him risk further injury or delay his recovery? With the playoffs coming, would the Steelers be better off taking their chances with either Batch or Dixon to rest Ben for the month of January?
Then the next question is if Ben cannot play, who should? Batch or Dixon?
Here are some great articles that talk about each subject. Make sure you leave a comment so we know how you feel!
