I disagree. Dallas line is by far better than Pitt. Sure, they have some problems pass blocking v. the best d-lines (g-men) but they are a far better unit than Pitt. Rothlisberger hit the ground a lot last year. granted, he holds the ball a long time, but he is also pretty mobile & a good runner.
Our d -line, which couldn't sack much of anybody, even had a few sacks last yr. v. Pitt.
Romo gets abused too. He doesn't get sacked as much as Ben because he can actually run, but that Dallas line is getting old. Pittsburgh's line is good enough to have a great rushing attack, pretty much no matter who's in at RB.
