How do you think the team views Matthew Thomas?  Will he be used at all in packages, or maybe even given an opportunity to play should Bostic falter?
Ed Bouchette
2:18
You are getting way ahead of yourself with the undrafted rookie linebacker. Let him get his feet wet a bit before he turns into Jack Lambert.

do you think any other teame will pick up landry jones or do you think his time in the nfl is over
Ed Bouchette
2:18
Someone with an injury or some poor performances will  sign him.

The Steelers led the NFL and set a team record with 56 sacks last season. With Watt and Hilton having a year under their belt, a now healthy Tuitt and a motivated Dupree, any reason we can't hit 60 and lead the league again??
Ed Bouchette
2:19
No reason why not.

Are the Steelers' flying on Miami International charter again this year? I know they usually charter two at a time. How do you like their plane?
Ed Bouchette
2:20
I don't fly with them. I fly commercial. I think they have 2 planes again.

Ed, has Big Ben commented on Landry Jones being released?
Ed Bouchette
2:21
Yes, he did on 93.7 The Fan this morning. I did not hear it but I was told he said he was surprised, but understands.

Is Bud Dupree suited to play ILB? Could you see the Steelers moving him there for any reason?
Ed Bouchette
2:21
I've seen nor heard any indication that would happen.

Any possibility the Steelers trade Josh Dobbs to a needy team now the rosters are set, but fluid and bring Landry Jones back?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
That would surprise me, but then as I mentioned I already was surprised.
Taz

Does Bell need to stay off the field on game day for the roster exemption to remain valid?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
Yes, but before gameday they would either have to lift the exemption and put him on the 53 (and cut someone else) before he could play.

2:23
Will James Washing begin the year as #3 or 4 WR?
Ed Bouchette
2:23
Yes.
Sorry, I had to do that. He and Hunter will bounce between those, I believe.
Tony
2:23
Any of the lingering injuries (Watt, Burnett, etc) that could be a factor this Sunday?
Ed Bouchette
2:24
Maybe, but we won't know until the week plays out. They only practiced Monday and resume Wednesday.
ALB
2:24
When someone like Ola is put on IR, does the team have to provide medical evidence to the league justifying it?
Ed Bouchette
2:24
supposedly
Bobby
2:24
While I was in the Ben/Dobbs/Rudolph camp, I am somewhat surprised the Steelers could not work a trade for Jones and he remains available. Is there something more with him we are not aware of?
Ed Bouchette
2:25
He hasn't been through a camp with anyone but the Steelers and teams are getting ready for their first game, so probably did not want to change anything. As I mentioned, Jones is an injury or a poor performance away from someone signing him.
Taz
2:26
Anybody the Steelers need to watch out for on the Browns this week?
Ed Bouchette

Do the Steelers have a policy or team agreement that all players will be on the field standing during the National Anthem?
Ed Bouchette
2:27
No team can have that policy until the NFL decides what policy it wants to have, if any.
Pompeani v Nutting
2:27
The team hasn't shown a whole lot of the sub packages we expected them to use this season. Is that not showing their hand, or do they not have a ton of confidence in those packages? Given the number of safeties they're keeping I'm getting mixed signals
Ed Bouchette
2:28
I just don't think they wanted to show it in the preseason. Plus  Morgan Burnett missed time, as did Sean Davis
Justin
2:28
Is Wednesday the drop dead day for Bell to report and still play in the opener?
Ed Bouchette
2:28
I'm thinking that time has already passed
Rick
2:28
How do u feel about ola edeniyi I think he is aside from tj watt the best pass rusher on our roster
Ed Bouchette
2:30
He did lead the team with three sacks in the preseason. I mean Ola Adeniyi did. But let's not crown the undrafted rookie as the next Lawrence Taylor just yet.

Where will Marcus Allen play?
Ed Bouchette
2:30
I'm guessing he won't.
Ron J
2:31
With the 49ers in strong need of a RB after McKinnon injury, thoughts on Steelers trading him for a 2nd rounder? Then using the extra pick and cap space to get Earl Thomas?
Ed Bouchette
2:31
If you think you can pull that off, I wouldn't argue it.
CC
2:31
Any word on Hilton's health? Will it be him or Sutton this week?
