The National Football Post reports (http://www.macsfootballblog.com/2011/02/roethlisberger-ward-plan-off-season.html) that a couple veteran Steelers will be holding some passing camps this offseason should there be a lockout.

If there is a lockout, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and wide receiver Hines Ward have discussed holding some passing camps during the off-season, reports Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Ward turns 35 next month, but leading Mike Wallace and 2010 draft choices Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown are all under 25. They’re development would be negatively affected by a prolonged work stoppage. “We have to,” Ward said recently. “It’s more for the younger guys. They won’t have any workout programs. A lot of those guys have been going since the combine last year, training hard and then going 28 weeks of football.” Ward’s plan includes workouts in Pittsburgh and each of the receivers’ hometowns during the off-season.

Bbbb-but Ben's a bad teammate and is lazy in the offseason, so this can't be true.

I heard Hines had to handcuff Ben down to an electric-chair and force Ben to agree to have this camp since Ben hates all of his teammates and wants everyone one of them to fail. Thank GOD Hines is such a good teammate and teaching Ben how to be a good teammate so we can win games.:noidea:

Seriously, I read this last night and it makes me smile since I think this Super Bowl REALLY left a bad taste in these guys mouths. I mean, it doesn't get MORE competitive than a player like Ben and Hines. I like next years chances if there is one.:tt04:

Anything to provide structure for #7 in the offseason is good

Hiring the coach he worked with during the suspension would also be good news - it would give Roethlisberger an opportunity to work on his throwing mechanics that for some reason were screwed up in the playoffs (my guess is due to the injured foot but regardless of the reason breaking whatever habits caused it would be positive)

Im glad to see they would make a possitive out of this.....I think Hines knows with alittle bit more practice it will pay off in the long run.
