Weird question - but from reading your chat from I think last week or a couple of weeks ago, you mentioned that Steve Nesbitt (who used to write for the PG) moved to France. ?! That seems random. Did he get a sports writing job over there? That would be a neat place to live i bet.

No, no, what I said was that Stephen was IN France during last week's chat. That was a fact. I'm going to leave it at that, though. Done talking about people who aren't here, just like the Steelers with Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, etc.

Brian, assuming  Juju leads the team in receptions this year, who has the next most?
Brian Batko

I think James Washington will be the second-leading wideout, but how about Vance McDonald? Still going Washington, but McDonald wouldn't surprise me if he racks up a lot of catches.

Brian, If Ben, Bush and Boz make it to the pro bowl, the Stiller’s will make to the super bowl. Agree?
Brian Batko

Not necessarily.

Brian - Which assistant coach has the most pressure for the upcoming season and why?
Brian Batko

Probably Keith Butler. When you're potentially adding three starters on defense, you better improve.

Any word on what Lawrence Timmons is doing now that he ain't playing in the NFL any more? I alwayys felt he was a greatly underappreciated steelers by the fans.

Not sure. I don't see Timmons listed in the NFLPA's official free agent list. But I was talking to Arthur Moats last week (name dropper) and he said "Law Dog" had an absolute cannon of an arm. Could throw the football a country mile. So that's a fun fact.

Today is June 11 and it is the birthday of Vince Lombardi and Joe Montana. It should be a football holiday - the birthday of two gridiron legends and Pennsylvania boys! No question - just thought you'd think that was neat.

Thanks, #1. Very neat indeed. IT's also Peter Dinklage's birthday, so shouts to him. With that, as forewarned, I have to cut the chat short. Time to run outside to the first minicamp practice. Thanks for participating, and all avenues are open for mailbag questions. Leave them in the comments below, shoot me an email, whatever you want to do. Godspee.
