Among the subjects that didn't make it on air was Roethlisberger's comments on the massive amount of sacks he's taken in the past two years. Ed Werder asked him how much longer he can survive these kind of beatings. As you would expect, Roethlisberger said that there are no problems with the offensive line
"I feel fine because I didn't taken any big shots last year. A lot of those sacks were my fault. I have every confidence that they'll get the job done."
That's encouraging, not just because Roethlisberger didn't sell out his offensive line, but also because he seems to have some awareness that as he matures, throwing the pass away to avoid a sack isn't always a bad thing.

Here's the complete interview which covers the differences between Mike Tomlin and Bill Cowher, how Bruce Arians offense should be better in year two, and what Roethlisberger thinks about the Brett Favre situation.
