Vance McDonald caught a TD pass Sunday but it was only his fifth catch. James has 20. They are not Heath Miller
Juan

Hi  Ed,  Is there still hope that  Ryan Shazier  can learn to tackle correctly? or at this stage in his career will  he always be a boom or bust type of player
Ed Bouchette
2:21
He missed a bunch Sunday and then produced the defense’s biggest play with that pick
Lazarus Link, aka The Bishop
2:21
Where has Bud Dupree been hiding?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
He had his best game Sunday
Steeler fan in NC
2:22
Are the steelers tipping their hand on the Bryant end-arounds? They have not been effective yet this year...
Ed Bouchette
2:22
That play should be ripped from their playbook
Tom Winkins
2:24
As currently constructed, can the Steelers really beat the Patriots, especially in January, or is that a pipe dream?
Ed Bouchette
2:24
As currently constructed, yes. As currently playing, no
Black Jack Bill

Is Eli Rogers playing his way out of a helmet on gameday with his penalties?
Ed Bouchette
2:25
Forget the penalties, he has just 8 receptions
Moose
2:25
Bell is a patient, wait for a play to develop type runner.  Conner is a great change of pace back because he runs like he is shot out of a cannon.  Why can't they get him the ball 5-7 carries a game, if anything, to give Bell a breather?
Ed Bouchette
2:26
That is what I would do but they won’t let me make that call
Sheff
2:28
Should we be worried at all about Boswell?  He hasnt been bad by any means, but his accuracy doesn't seem the same.
Ed Bouchette
2:29
He has made 29 of 23, including one of 37 Sunday
Sheff
2:29
Do you think the INT on the first drive was Ben's fault?  It looked like he under threw it to the inside.
Ed Bouchette
2:29
Yes I did
Sheff
2:29
Could Haden return in time for New England in mid December?
Ed Bouchette
2:29
In my opinion, that would be pushing it
Sheff
2:30
Did Artie Burns make a big error on the Moncrief TD or was he expecting help overtop?  It looked like he was watching the backfield.  The announcers made the comment also.
Ed Bouchette
2:30
He bit on an early move and got burned
62 Galaxie

Hi ED,  Any chance Hilton can play at Safety?  Has he ever played safety position?  Seems like he needs to be on the field more and he seems to make plays and willing to hit.  Just a thought.
Ed Bouchette
2:31
Hilton not going to play safety. Gay sort of does
Chiefar
2:31
Are James Harrison skills that bad or the other linebackers better then last year?
Ed Bouchette
2:32
Better than last year when Jarvis Jones was there and Dupree was hurt
JC III
2:32
A lot of talk about Haly's ability as OC. Did you have an all-time favorite OC? Mine was Ron Ernhardt...he got the most out of O'Donnell.
Ed Bouchette

Any plea from Big Ben this week to the Heinz field crowd getting into it this week? I think it can make a big difference.
Ed Bouchette
2:33
From what I hear there will be plenty of empty seats at Heinz Thursday night. People cannot give their tickets away and 12,000 for sale online
Matt
2:34
Ed, with Haden out, will Sutton & Allen get more playing time?
Ed Bouchette
2:34
Sutton won’t play and unless there is another injury, neither will Allen
Matt
2:35
Will McDonald get more balls downfield? Dude has speed & is finally hanging onto the football.
Ed Bouchette
2:35
The more he produces, the more confidence they will have in him so I would say yes
Matt
2:35
Will we see more Conner down in the red zone with Hubbard next to Gilbert?
Ed Bouchette
2:36
Theyhave done nothing that would indicate that is in their plans
Sam Jarvis Landry Jones
2:36
How would you assess the decision to fire (er, um, “not renew”) Dick Lebeau and go with Keith Butler. Right call? Ultimately better for both the Steelers and Lebeau?
Ed Bouchette
2:37
Their defense is playing well under Butler and improved each season
2:38
