GREEN BAY, WIS. (AP) - Linebacker Desmond Bishop says the Packers began preparing for Ben Roethlisberger by watching video of how other teams failed to bring down the Steelers’ big quarterback.
The Packers could’ve been featured, too, in defensive coordinator Dom Capers’ highlight package as they work toward Super Bowl on Feb. 6.
In last year’s matchup, Green Bay sacked Roethlisberger five times, but missed several other opportunities as Big Ben threw for a career-best 503 yards and three touchdowns in a wild 37-36 victory.
Bishop says the video review was meant to remind them that there are no easy ways to bring a 6-foot-5, 241-pound person to the ground. Cornerback Charles Woodson says Roethlisberger is elusive enough to avoid a blitz and too big to trip up with just an arm tackle.
