The offense looks like the freight train has officially left the station and the only thing that can take these guys down are injuries. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley talks about the improvement to receiver Sammie Coates while he becomes more than just the deep ball threat.

I have to admit, though, I do love me a good deep ball.

"“He is not just running paper routes where you see the drawing and you know in a broad sense what you have, but there are so many finer details to it. He is not just running the paper routes. He is fine tuning what he is doing. That is giving the quarterback confidence. It’s giving him confidence. So then he is playing faster and more decisively.” – Todd Haley"

You can’t help but step back and appreciate the orchestra that Todd Haley and Ben Roethlisberger have assembled with this offense. You could hear it in Ben’s own comments after the last game how much he enjoys spreading the ball out and getting guys like Jesse James and DeAngelo Williams touchdowns.

The level of trust between Roethlisberger and Haley spills over onto the field and you can see how the relationships between the quarterback and each of the players on the offense is different but important.

That level of trust is going to be super important this week as they deal with more injuries along the offensive line. Like I said before, the only thing that can stop this freight train is injuries and I can’t help but believe that as long as the “Killer B’s” are healthy there’s no stopping them.
