Ben's been throwing with a lot more zip on the ball since the bye week. Any chance he was nursing something? Knee, thumb, hand, shoulder?

Ed Bouchette

2:11

I don't think there was any injury involved

GSK

2:13

Hi Ed, has Hawkins moved to back-up tackle over Fieler?

Ed Bouchette

2:15

Yes. Matt Feiler is more of a guard.

Mark from Sauquoit N.Y.

2:15

I like that Bryant returned kicks, maybe he'll break one, any thoughts?

Ed Bouchette

2:15

He broke their longest of the season at 38 yards Sunday night. I want to see more.

The Outer Cycloid

2:17

Condolences to Keith Butler on the loss of his brother. Q.) Who is coordinating the D while he is attending the funeral?

Ed Bouchette

2:17

Gerry Dulac reported that Keith will return to the team Thursday.

Adam

2:18

How do the players feel about FOUR 8:30 games in a row? Like it, hate it, don't care?

Ed Bouchette

2:18

I think they enjoy it. Their record certainly shows that

GSK

2:19

HI Ed, was that you that made a cameo at MT's presser today?

Ed Bouchette

2:19

I don't make cameos. I'm part of the show

colorado

2:19

I think Carnell Lake's job needs to be on the line. Whats your thoughts. Too many mistakes for too many years!!

Ed Bouchette

2:19

Not enough talent for so many years.

Ike Steelheart

2:20

Can The Steelers win it all with this team? And by winning all they would have to beat teams like NE, Jaguars, KC, Eagles, NO, ATL, Panthers.

Ed Bouchette

2:20

Not only can they win it all, Mike Tomlin said they SHOULD win it all

Normie T Vargo

2:20

With an average night for him, Ben could cross 50K yards Monday. He's in top ten now in all the biggies...yards, tds, passes completed.....as are Rivers and Eli. If they all were HOF eligible the same year for the first time, who would get the nod?

Ed Bouchette

2:21

If this is truly my old colleague and pal, welcome. If not, he'll be happy you remembered. Ben is and has been the better quarterback of the three

Chuck in Erie

2:21

Has there been any update on Joe Haden's timeline?

Ed Bouchette

2:21

Mike Tomlin said no update, just that he's out this week.

Troy

2:22

Where you shocked as I was with Tomlin's comments in the NBC interview? He has always been one week to the next, kind of coach. Heck he even makes a 1-14 Browns team sound like the 72 dolphins, at times.

Ed Bouchette

2:22

Yes, it surprised me for those reasons

Jarvis

2:22

Why do fans believe any tall receiver is a red zone threat?

Ed Bouchette

2:22

It's probably because they all grew up with Weegie Thompson

2:22

Has there been any word from the NFL regarding TJ Watt's helmet-to-helmet hit to Hundley that wasn't flagged?

Ed Bouchette

2:22

Not yet

2:22

With all of the missed tackles on defense, do you have any idea how MT and the defensive coaches are addressing this? it's becoming increasingly more frustrating to watch, what do you think?

Ed Bouchette

2:23

Another outing to Dave & Buster's perhaps?

5 Towers Mono Couch

2:24

Tomlin ever mention why Touissant was activated over Williams?

Ed Bouchette

2:24

I think it had something to do with special teams. The other back's name is Watson, Terrell, and the Steelers signed him to the practice squad today

Indiana Gazette

2:25

Any chance you will be attending the game at IUP this weekend?

Ed Bouchette

2:25

Probably not, but I do enjoy watching these playoff games on my IPad.

Mike

2:25

9-2 and everyone is pissing and moaning. Try living in Buffalo Bills country.

Ed Bouchette

2:26

I know people who tried, then fled as if the real Buffalo Bill were after them.

Justin

2:26

Have you noticed a drop in officiating this year? Seems like there have been more missed calls that I have noticed...or am I just being a fan?

Ed Bouchette

2:26

I've noticed a drop ever since they started using instant replay. It makes refs more tentative, less decisive.

2:27

Looking at what the Eagles are doing with their running backs this season, do you think that may push the Steelers to consider giving Conner somewhere between 5-10 carries to help ease Bell's load?

Ed Bouchette

2:27

No. If that were the plan, it might have happened by now.

Mike

2:28

I wonder if everyone will complain about 9-2 when Ben is gone?

Ed Bouchette

2:28

They may not get that chance for awhile.
