August 1, 2010746 viewsFrom Ben's chat with the media on the first day of camp:
Q: Other than all of the questions, did it feel like a pretty normal day at camp?
Ben: “It did, surprisingly enough. Once we started walking down the stands and hearing them cheer and giving them high fives, we got on the field and I kind of got lost in just being out here at camp and being at St. Vincent’s. That’s what we said getting here, everything that has happened we’ve put behind us because it’s time for football now. That’s what it’s about, is getting out here and winning championships.â€
Q: Were there butterflies?
Ben: “Oh absolutely. There always are. It’s the first say of camp you always have a little bit. There was a little bit more for me.â€
Q: Did they pretty much settle down by the time you get on the field because of the reception you got from fans?
Ben: “Yeah, they did. During stretching I felt pretty good.â€
Q: Did you dread coming out to practice in the afternoon?
Ben: “Not dread it. I was nervous. Nervous and scared and anxious. A lot of emotions.â€
Q: How do you separate football from your personal life? Is that difficult?
Ben: “I feel pretty good about being able to compartmentalize. It makes you human when you’re scared. It’s a challenge and there’s going to be more challenges ahead of us but football is kind of my escape, my getaway.â€
Q: How has this offseason changed you?
Ben: “I feel it’s humbled me and made me a better person. All of the things that have happened are all behind us now. Now it’s all about moving forward and football and focusing on that.â€
Q: Did you chose to walk out to practice with Hines or was that coincidental?
Ben: “I was getting ready to walk out and Hines was there and he said, ‘Hold on, let’s go out together.’ â€
Q: Did that help?
Ben: “Yeah, it was nice.â€

August 1, 2010678 views From Ben's chat with the media the first day of camp:
Q: Was it important to you in the morning practice to open as the No. 1 quarterback
Ben: “It felt good to be able to get in there with the first group and it felt pretty special.â€
Q: Is it strange not to know the full rotation?
Ben: “You guys probably know as much as I do. We’re just taking it one day at a time and tomorrow could be completely different.â€
Q: Are you comfortable with the rotation of you and Byron (Leftwich) so far?
Ben: “I’m up for whatever they want. I’m helping any and all of the quarterbacks, the young receivers, the tight ends, running backs. Byron and I are communicating a lot about different things that we see out there and Charlie’s still in there and Dennis so whatever rotation they want me to do. I’d run the scout team if they wanted me to.â€
Q: Can you talk about your conditioning?
Ben: “I feel great. I feel I’m in the best shape. I know I’ve said that before but I feel better than I ever have and spent a lot of time working out and still am. Every night I’m up here working out. We have to do it because I want to be the best, and that’s what it takes.â€
Q: How close do you feel you are to having a great season when you do get in there?
Ben: “Right now I feel great. It’s a matter of being able to work out and do stuff during the (suspension) however long that may be. That’s going to be the key, how long it’s going to be and how soon can I get back out there.â€
Q: You’ve played great football in the past. Can you play better?
Ben: “I think so but you never know. I’m not a fortune teller. You’ve got to deal with injuries, you’ve got to deal with a lot of elements. If I can just continue to improve every day I think that will be good."
Q: Do you plan to talk to the commissioner (Roger Goodell) when he visits Thursday and are you optimistic of getting your suspension reduced from six games to four?
Ben: “I think everyone made a big deal that he’s coming here just to see me, and he’s kind of making a tour of all the camps. But, yeah, I’ll talk to him, I’m sure a lot of people will. I don’t know what we’ll talk about, it’s hard to say but it’s ultimately going to be his call and his decision on what he does with each individual player. And he’s the commissioner and boss that makes the decisions. He’ll do what he feels is right, I’m sure.â€
Q: What is your goal personally and professionally coming out of all of this?
Ben: “To be the best. I hope we can get past this, get on the football field and win championships. That’s always my goal, and that’s not going to change. I want to win a championship this year. That’s my ultimate goal.â€

2008 Training Camp - July 28, 20081120 viewsPlenty of players stopped and signed, but none longer than safety Ryan Clark, wide receiver Hines Ward and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
“It might be the only time the fans get the chance to get this close and try to get an autograph,†said Roethlisberger, who gave away his signed wristbands and shoes to kids before calling it a day. “It takes some time, but I try to do it for them because I think they like it and enjoy it.â€
