Question: In Sunday's article by Ed Bouchette, Willie Colon says "It takes time for Justin to declare the defense they're in". I am wondering if Ben's role has changed this year in calling blocking assignments. Didn't he have more responsibility in this area last year?

Tim Tarr, Middletown, Del.

BOUCHETTE: They did put more responsibility in his hands in 2007. Roethlisberger can audible into a different play or change the pass protection at the line, but it's up to the linemen to determine what defense they have to block.
