Those missed tackles are not do to any one scheme
Jon
2:14
Without Shazier, who steps in to cover Gronk?
Ed Bouchette
2:14
Sean Davis would be one candidate
Palmyrarocks
2:14
Ed, in Peter King’s MMQB, you commented that you thought the Patriots would destroy the Steelers. Was this sarcasm or your true feelings?
Ed Bouchette
2:15
We were chatting, like old friends, and Peter asked me not to give him sports writer speak
Marines
2:16
Will Ike Taylor be banned from the facility if accusations are true?
Ed Bouchette
2:16
I wouldn't think so.
James
2:17
Any thoughts why the defense has seemingly forgotten how to tackle, i.e., the combo-whiff by Davis and Moats along the sideline?
Ed Bouchette
2:17
It is baffling, is it not?
Chris
2:18
I put brian Allan on gronk your thoughts
Ed Bouchette
2:18
Brian is a rookie fifth-round pick who has hardly played and now you want him out there covering the best tight end in the league? Maybe next year.
TD
2:18
Everyone admires the Pats but nobody can copy them. Seems to me they just don't play fancy and get the job done. Absolutely minimal mistakes. Isn't that why they win consistently?
Ed Bouchette
2:18
That and Tom Brady
FlaFan
2:19
Hi Ed, Any chance the Steelers look at Kenny Britt?
Ed Bouchette
2:19
He sounds like someone to stay away from
cover2
2:19
Hubbard or Gilbert who is better?
Ed Bouchette
2:19
Gilbert, which is why he starts ahead of Hubbard, who has done a nice job replacing him
BouchMan

What are your predictions for Sun game?
Ed Bouchette
2:20
I will have them Sunday. I need to watch more video first
SCKID
2:20
More entertaining press conference Mike Tomlin or Bill Belichick?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
There's not much entertaining about  Belichick.
TC
2:22
Can /will the steelers stop the long pass plays? most for TDs!!! this game???
Ed Bouchette
2:23
If they could not stop them with some of the backup QBs they faced, how will they do so against Tom Brady? Maybe they will, but there is no evidence there to support that theory
John
2:23
Can the Steelers learn how to tackle in 5 days?
Ed Bouchette
2:23
You mean like a speed reader tackling War & Peace?
Nosmo King
2:23
Are the Pats more dangerous having lost last night or has their weaknesses been exposed and ripe for a butt kicking?
Ed Bouchette
2:24
I don't see how they can become more dangerous by losing a Monday night game in Miami. They have a short week, plus this is their third straight game on the road.
BamaSteel
2:24
You stop the moving train (Gronk) by taking out (sacking) the engineer.
Ed Bouchette
2:24
Or, rip up the tracks.
Will from Freehold, NJ

Hello Ed, I know that TJ Watt is a rookie but do you see him as a viable option at middle LB?  Perhaps start James Harrison at OLB in his place?
Ed Bouchette
2:25
no
BouchMan
2:25
How cum Tomlin has not won the Coach of the Year yet?
Ed Bouchette
2:25
Neither did Chuck Noll, so there is honor in that.
tat58
2:25
NFL should have move the game to SNF.  Prime time !!   I dont know the rule of the flex Schedule.  Do you?
Ed Bouchette
2:26
CBS was allowed to block -- they call it "protect" -- from that happening in this game.
Skip in Homestead
2:26
When will injury reports ( of both teams ) be announced?
Ed Bouchette
2:26
Wednesday after practice
Will from Freehold, NJ
2:26
Ed, if your Tomlin and you win the coin toss do you defer or take the ball?
Ed Bouchette
2:27
He leans toward deferring. I'm taking the ball, but that's just me. I always want the ball with this offense.
If I Were A Carpenter
2:27
With a road game on Christmas Day will you rock last years monogrammed sweater vest or open early, hoping for a new one?
