Ben Roethlisberger likes to refer to himself as a gunslinger, and why not? He's pretty good at it.
Roethlisberger thoroughly enjoys getting out of the pocket in order to make the big play down the field. Not many quarterbacks have done it better than him over the years ... well, maybe except for this year.
Teams have made a concerted effort to keep the Steelers' quarterback in the pocket with a controlled rush. When Big Ben has gotten free, teams have made sure covering receivers deep down the field is their top priority.
"That's fine, we'll take that," Roethlisberger said. "(I'll) just stay in the pocket and throw the ball."
Or maybe he'll just take off and run...............http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/steelers/s_711610.html
