I liked this part.
Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott has posted head-scratching statistics through his first eight games (he’s completed 66.5 percent of his passes, with 12 touchdowns, two interceptions and a passer rating of 104.2). But what’s been even more impressive has been the way Prescott gone about his business.

He looks like he’s been doing this for eight years, not eight games.

He’s calm in the pocket. He’s calm when plays break down. He doesn’t appear to rattle.

Prescott looks equally comfortable under center or in the shotgun. He can throw from the pocket, off a bootleg or on the run. He has a sense for vacating the pocket to re-set after a couple of seconds even when he isn’t forced to by pressure, presumably to avoid becoming a stationary target for too long. Nothing he does appears to result from panic. He’ll throw underneath rather than force the ball into coverage and wherever he’s throwing, he’s usually on time and on target.

Prescott has also rushed 31 times for 125 yards and four touchdowns. He doesn’t necessarily look to run when he vacates the pocket, but he can. And he’s read-option capable.

Then they talk about elliot, and the OL and defense, mostly all good.

No, Roethlisberger started against the Ravens and there is no way they sit him tomorrow. He basically invited the team to jump on his back this week. He is starting.

This is one area about his game that I don't believe we have seen all he has to offer.

He has been very selective and smart when he runs. I just have a feeling he could have a monster game where he lets loose this aspect.

I would like to see him run more, but just ad lib runs, not designed ones.
like drop back, and if middle is empty and big area to run, then just run and slide, or out of bounds.

But I know sometimes wilson would have a big game running, so maybe dak will too.

I hate that people say Dak doesn't know better and will struggle once he realizes he is in the NFL. This is who Dak is, he is calm and cool.

Save it for the playoffs. I really don't want to see Sanchez in the game unless he is in for mop up duty.

Like this, too.

HE SAID IT: “This running game we’re fixin’ to see is the best in the league. They’re first in the league in the running game, and that’s how you win ballgames. You control the ball, you run-play action pass, you get chunks off of some of your play-action pass and you have the ball the majority of the time. That’s an old-school plan for winning ballgames but it’s always been successful.” _ Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler on the Cowboys’ offense.

“They don’t have superstars. They have a lot of good players that understand their role and they execute fundamentally under pressure. They’re rarely out of position. That’s why they’re a good defense.” _ Fox-TV analyst Charles Davis on the Cowboys’ defense.

I just looked at the pitt schedule to see who they beat and who they lost to.
http://www.nfl.com/teams/schedule?team=PIT
They have beat good teams, wash,KC,Cin, and Ravens.
They lost 3 , two when ben was out to NE, and mia, then the freak loss to phil.

So I think they are better (with ben) than there 4-3 record shows. also 3-1 @ home. (hopefully 3-2 soon)
So they may give dallas a tough game.

I think this game may depend on how well ben plays, and how well Dak plays, if one is hot
and 1 is cold, the hot one may win.
