LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Time will tell how the relationship between Todd Haley and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will evolve. But for now, the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator is making his quarterback’s eyes light up.

Entering his ninth season, Roethlisberger has long publicly campaigned to run more no-huddle offense in which he carries more play-calling responsibilities. Haley, in his first season with the team, said on Tuesday the no-huddle “will be… a big part of our offense.”

“(Roethlisberger) has shown a propensity to do that at a high level,” Haley said. “Ideally, if you have a quarterback like Ben and what he’s done, when he’s in full control, that’s a good situation to be in because he’s right in the middle of it and seeing what’s going on.”

The Steelers (No. 17 in the AP Pro32) spent a significant portion of their afternoon practice on Tuesday placing special emphasis on running the no-huddle.
