Roethlisberger said he meant no offense by his comments about wanting a "tall receiver." He also said his comments about wanting offensive linemen who weren't overweight and could block, and a running back that didn't bounce back off the line of scrimmage, were taken "out of context."Steelers receiver Hines Ward called for the team to draft "a shorter quarterback" to better work with the team's receivers. Noting that the "freakishly tall" Rothlisberger has no trouble shaking off tacklers like insects but that he has "trouble throwing to normal sized humans," Ward said that teams with "normal-sized" quarterbacks, like Indianapolis and New England, have more options in the red zone. "You don't hear them saying, 'slant to tiny across the middle,'" Ward explained.
