I cannot say for sure but I would think it doubtful

Seriously, how long are we supposed to pretend that Tomlin isn’t grossly squandering the greatest offensive unit the Steelers have ever assembled? Seeing 10 guys in the pro bowl did nothing but rub salt in the wounds...
Ed Bouchette
2:19
I think the Steelers of Bradshaw, Swann, Franco, Stallworth, Rocky, Mike Webster, Larry Brown,and Bennie Cunningham et. al. would take issue with that statement

Hi Ed!  We won four super bowls with a 4-3 defense.  We went to a 3-4 because our strength was LB's, right?  Well our LB's are decidedly NOT a strength now.  Nor is the DL, if the JAX game is any indication.  What now?  HELP!
Ed Bouchette
2:20
Maybe they could go to a 6-6-6 defense to stop someone

If in Super Bowl James Harrison gets 3 sacks, safety, pick-6, and/or Super Bowl MVP will Steeler's defense coaching staff all resign? Should they?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
The assistant coaches aren’t the ones who cut him

Significant question for you Ed.  Do the Steelers commit to the 5th year for Dupree?  What say you? Yea or Nay?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
I would guess no
Old guy

Ed, how many SBs for you? Going back to the Noll days? My question is whether Bell's talk of being close to a contract is real or smoke? No pun intended.
Ed Bouchette
2:24
Sure, no pun intended. This is 32. Missed one two years ago when I was ill and flew back home from another when my mom was ill. First one was Steelers in 14.
as for Bell, I don’t believe it
Leaper
2:25
Do you see Ben signing an extension?
Ed Bouchette
2:25
I can see it but not until 2019
Rahn
2:26
Re: the playoff game you reported on. Why didn't you name the coach who was late for the pregame preparations but did name Bell as being late? Is it a source protection thing? Thanks, Ed.
Ed Bouchette
2:26
I was not told the coach’s name
Rahn
2:26
Do you predict the same three QBs on the roster to start camp in '18?
Ed Bouchette
2:26
Yes I do
Leaper
2:27
How much faith is there in Dupree?
Ed Bouchette
2:27
It appeared more hope than faith

Ed, much has been made about the lack of changes on the defensive coaching staff with some saying that it is not the coaches but the players.  Aren't the players an outcome of their coaching?  In your opinion, is the thinking right that the staff is a solid one?
Ed Bouchette
2:29
People want to blame Joey Porter for Bud Dupree. But then should he not get some credit for Watt? Same with Lake and Hilton.
J.L. Williams

Ed, #92 looks happier during the SB media session than I recall him being in the past.  Clearly he is happy to be playing and playing for another ring.  Do you see him staying in NE next year?
Ed Bouchette
2:30
I had a nice talk with him. He should be happy. This game is everyone’s goal. Id be surprised if he plays next season even if he wants to
J.L. Williams
2:31
Ed, I did not watch 1 play of the Pro Bowl and I had more reason to watch than most fans.  What would you do to increase viewership?
Ed Bouchette
2:32
Apparently the tv ratings increased over last year. As long as they get enough tv ratings to justify it, they will keep playing
Augusta Ken
2:32
Ed, your peers seem to think that the Steelers should let Bell walk and spend the money on upgrading the defense. How do you feel about this option?
Ed Bouchette
2:33
If his demans remain out of sight, I donusee an alternative
Thank you for another great chat. See you next Tuesday
