The Facts: Todd Haley's offense has something for everyone. For Roethlisberger, there's the promise of virtually free rein to run the no-huddle offense. For RBs Isaac Redman and Rashard Mendenhall (when he gets healthy), there's the promise of a blocking fullback. For the wide receivers, there are simpler pass routes that don't require as much reading as they do reacting. For the linemen, there aren't as many blocking adjustments as before (at least they're saying there aren't).

Diehards Line:According to the Tribune-Review's Alan Robinson, the offense seems designed to run when it has to run and pass when it has to pass. Roethlisberger , the NFL's most-sacked quarterback, should benefit from a system that's designed to keep him upright, in rhythm and on target all while getting rid of the ball as quickly as possible. Kurt Warner loved the Haley offense, and Haley seems confident Roethlisberger will, too. Meanwhile, assuming Mike Wallace eventually shows up, the simpler pass routes seem to play to his strength -- which is speed rather than route-running -- and help him get up to speed more quickly.
