I believe they already have

I find it interesting that Ben R. is never mentioned as an MVP candidate. Do you think that has to do more with image and who the media darlings are?
Ed Bouchette
2:41
It's usually about stats

Ed can this Steelers team win a SB without Bell this year?
Ed Bouchette
2:42
They never won one with him.

I saw that most the Steeler games are "protected" by the networks to keep them out of prime time.  Can the NFL do anything to get the networks to let one of those games like the one vs the Saints move to prime time?
Ed Bouchette
2:42
God, I hope not

Ed, do you think Bell will lose a lot of teammates as friends because of the way he did this whole thing?
Ed Bouchette
2:43
I saw two former teammates embrace LeGarrette Blount at the Super Bowl with New England after he walked out on them during a game in Tennessee that season.

Hi Ed, Do you feel the 5 days off the Steelers have had hurts or helps them when preparing for the Jaguars? Seems a bit long, no?
Ed Bouchette
2:43
If Mike Tomlin thought it would hurt, he would not have given them 5 days off
Dj cain

We all know Bell is not going to show up right? Who is the best available Vet RB out there we could sign? Ridley is not the answer!
Ed Bouchette
2:44
Neither was Ben Tate a few years ago. They'll go with what they have
Angelo

Do you guys watch the game the day after to dissect each play or just watch live?
Ed Bouchette
2:44
Some do.

I know Conner still has two years on his deal, but what are the chances they extend him in the off season, like when Wallace turned them down and they extended Brown. Feels similar.
Ed Bouchette
2:45
Different situations, different positions. I don't see it. One more year
Plus, back then, AB's rookie contract was not for 4 years as a sixth-round pick.
ALB

Do you expect Bell and/or his agent to make any kind of statement today?
Ed Bouchette
2:46
Well, they've been so informative up until now, why not?

It Bell subject to drug test
Ed Bouchette
2:47
I believe he has been subject to them, yes

Steelers' toughest game left? Jax, Pats, NO, Chargers?
Ed Bouchette
2:47
Saints

Ed, thanks for the chats. First time question. With Bell probably not showing up, does Colbert find a free agent RB for more depth?
Ed Bouchette
2:48
Either that -- next year, of course -- or draft one
Thank you for another great chat, if delayed. I'm off next Tuesday, so we'll do this again after Thanksgiving.
