Brian -  Best guess at this juncture if both free agent safeties are resigned?  Do you think they would be better served signing one and drafting some fresh talent?
Brian Batko

My best guess is Terrell Edmunds. Younger, more durable, and obviously more familiarity on both sides.

Brian, regarding the Eagles, was Weidl instrumental in acquiring the "better players" you referenced to SteersNorth?
Brian Batko

By all accounts, yes. That should give Steelers fans some peace of mind going into this offseason, specifically the draft. If you feel like they've whiffed on too many picks lately - high picks, middle-round picks, late picks, O-linemen, cornerbacks, whatever - Andy Weidl just came from a franchise that is having huge success in that realm.

What is your take on the issue with the media scrum with BJ Hill and Ossai after the AFC Championship. People are defending Hill. I disagree. If Ossai didn't want to answer questions he should've let the Bengals media people tell the press. Reporters gotta eat too

I pretty much agree with you. Obviously, players can choose what they do and don't want to answer. That's fine. One bit of context that might be relevant is the clip caught on camera of Matt Canada's buddy Germaine Pratt calling out Joseph Ossai as they were headed through the tunnel back into the locker room. Perhaps BJ Hill heard that/heard about it and wanted to be especially supportive of his teammate. That said, still not a good look to stand there like a bouncer and try to intimidate reporters from asking what they deem to be relevant questions for their readers.

OK folks, we'll have to call it a day. Thanks for treating your substitute chatter with dignity and respect. That Monday crowd gets a little unruly anyway. Talk to you next time.
