An idea for the new XFL!

What is the P-G's company policy on sports wagering, and will it change when the Pa Legislature legalizes it in response to Supreme Court ruling?
Ed Bouchette
2:17
I don't think there is one. Personally, I don't bet.
Jeff
2:17
With Bryant gone will Washington be a wk1 starter.
Ed Bouchette
2:18
He will be with the first three, him AB and JuJu. Starters don't matter but the pecking order would be AB and JuJu and then the rookie
Big Snack
2:18
how do you expect Jaylen Samuels to be used on offence
Ed Bouchette
2:18
Let's see if he makes the team first. The backup to Bell traditionally doesn't play much unless there is an injury.
Big Snack
2:18
Do you think the Steelers didn't consider trading back in the draft because Shazier was going to walk out to announce their 1st round pick?
Ed Bouchette
2:19
Now that is a perspective I never thought about. You'd have been better off if you never thought about it either.
Big Snack
2:19
Do you think Mike Mitchell will find a team?
Ed Bouchette
2:20
It may depend on injuries.

What's the future for Sean Spence? Back to the sofa?
Ed Bouchette
2:20
He did not show much in his short time with the Steelers but maybe someone will invite him to their camp

Can this defense stop the likes of Leonard Fournette?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
They could not last year, could they. We'll find out again Nov. 18. A healthy Stephon Tuitt should help and maybe a better safety situation too.
August West
2:22
Big Ben's contract is up after 2019. Do you think he will be re-signed?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
I believe we will have to wait one more year to find that out.
Big Snack
2:23
Should the Rooney family now be allowed to have an ownership stake in the Steelers and in racetracks?
Ed Bouchette
2:23
That horse has left the barn. Those who stayed in the race game got out of the football game.

Ed,  What was your impression of the Steeler's schedule?
Ed Bouchette
2:24
As Dan Rooney would often say, the schedule is the schedule. The one thing that surprised me was five of their 6 games against AFC North opponents will be played in the first half of the season.
Dave P
2:24
Really looking forward to seeing JuJu’s sophomore year, What parts of his game do you think he needs to improve?
Ed Bouchette
2:25
His TD celebrations. No, they'll probably tell you more precise routes.
Big Snack
2:25
Did you grow up a Steelers fan?
Ed Bouchette
2:27
No, I grew up a Philadelphia Eagles/Baltimore Colts/Boston Patriots fan. But when I was young, I really loved all of them -- the Packers, all the old AFL teams, the Browns, even the Giants. Not the Steelers, though, because I grew up near Hershey and when I was young, the Steelers stunk. However, their QB Dick Shiner was from our town.

How do you keep from going insane having to listen to yinzers?
Ed Bouchette
2:28
It can be fun, in a strange sort of way.

Who is the defensive player who wears the green dot on his helmet and receives def calls from Butler?
Ed Bouchette
2:29
I'm guessing Bostic because traditionally it goes to an inside linebacker who stays on the field most of the time.
Adam
2:29
How many more peak years should we expect from AB given his style of play and history?
Ed Bouchette
2:29
How long did Jerry Rice play at the top of his game? I would say AB can go as long
Guest

Hi Ed. Best guess. Bell signing a long term deal, or not??
Ed Bouchette
2:30
My best guess has been consistent that he will not.
Jake

You have no idea what your talking about when you say bookies are going to lose money.
Ed Bouchette
2:31
You are probably right because I don't bet. But if a lot of the money bet with them now will be bet legally with the casinos, well, I do have a business management degree and I know how to subtract.
Adam
2:31
In ten years will the NFL still be the No 1 sport in the U.S. in terms of following/revenue?
Ed Bouchette
2:32
I really don't see a sport that will overtake football. And the new gambling laws will promote it even more.
Pete
2:33
I think the Steelers O-Line is overrated. Bell averaged 4.0 ypc, which is low.
Ed Bouchette
2:33
Is that on the line, or on him?
Waxman
2:34
Keion Adams fully back and healthy?  Your thoughts on him fitting into the mix this year?
