Not a lock, but a strong candidate.
Buckeye Chuck

How much time will Ben see in game 3?
Ed Bouchette
2:26
It wasn't much last year. I would think 2 series, unless the first one is a long one, then that will be it.
2:27
Same with AB and if you saw what happened to ODJ Monday night, you might not want to play him at all.

Does Tre Williams have a chance to make the roster....maybe over Davis?
Ed Bouchette
2:27
Trey is a long-shot, but he still has a chance if he can return punts the way he did Sunday.

On Twitter yesterday, in response to a Tweet of "Don't leave us", LeVeon Bell replied that he wouldn't leave unless they got rid of him. What do you make of his reply? Does that indicate he will sign a long term deal in 2018?
Ed Bouchette
2:27
I wouldn't read anything into it other than he will play here in 2017.
Scott in Dallas
2:28
When will T Brady hit the old man wall and finally stop bedeviling the rest of the NFL?
Ed Bouchette
2:28
He should have hit it by now and he hasn't.
Buckeye Chuck
2:28
How do you think Bell will be used in the first game? Sparingly until he gets back in the swing of things, or full tilt?
Ed Bouchette
2:28
Full tilt
Jerry
2:28
Do you think Watson will eventually win the starting job over Toussant? He is more like Conner in that he's a power back.
Ed Bouchette
2:28
Those guys are competing for NO. 3
NYCSteelers

Conner looked pretty average until he faced the deep backups - what's all the excitement all about?
Ed Bouchette
2:29
I thought he ran well. The competition didn't matter.
George M
2:30
I know every one wants to jump off of a cliff after watching the secondary run around with no rime or reason but do you personally believe it is as bad as it looked?
Ed Bouchette
2:31
With Mike Mitchell joining them and a good pass rush, they should look better but that's not going to make them in the top 10 in the league.
Mark from Sauquoit N.Y.
2:31
Will Mike Tomlin and Keith Butler surprise us by starting Hilton ? Can he play corner?
Ed Bouchette
2:32
He has been playing in the slot and I think that is their plan for him, although I cannot tell you if he will open there.
Adam
2:32
If the regular season were to start on Sunday, which of the injured Steelers would miss the game?
Ed Bouchette
2:32
I think they'd all be ready, the starters anyway.
Chicago Nation
2:33
Why is Golden still on this team?  Granted he is a backup but he has looked bad when forced into action much like he did Sunday.
Ed Bouchette
2:33
Who would you prefer to take his spot?
Rahn
2:33
Who takes McCullers' spot if he's cut or do they go with 5 DL?
Ed Bouchette
2:34
L.T. Walton will be the backup NT who also can play end. They have their starting 3, him and Tyson Alualu. Johnny Maxey would be my other one.

Does Sammie Coates make the team?
Ed Bouchette
2:34
Yes.

Thank you for another great chat. See you next Tuesday on the short week.
