HI ED WITH ALL THE MOVES AND TRADES THE STEELERS ARE MAKING IS THIS A SIGN THAT THE FRONT OFFICE THINK THE SMALL WINDOW IS CLOSING WITH BIG BEN TALKING RETIREMENT
Ed Bouchette
2:12
First, stop SHOUTING. Second, it's not like they gave away the farm. In fact, they gave away very little in terms of assets, other than the $7 M Joe Haden will cost them. It has nothing to do with any window.

Who is a bigger factor for the season Hayden or McDonald?
Ed Bouchette
2:12
It better be Joe Haden.
Y?
No, no Y in his name.

Even though they acquired Wilcox, aren't they still thin at safety? I was surprisrd Dangerfield wss released, because now Golden is the only backup, correct?
Ed Bouchette
2:13
Golden, Wilcox and don't forget that Gay can play there.

Ed. did any of the cuts the Steelers made surprise you? Or any activity that they did not address?
Ed Bouchette
2:14
I was stunned, I mean stunned, they cut the long snapper they drafted in the sixth round.

With Bell being exempt for 2 weeks do Steelers get to keep 54 or of he is activd does someone get cut
Ed Bouchette
2:14
Once he's activated, someone goes.

steelers roll or nail biter sunday?
Ed Bouchette
2:15
This isn't Pitt vs. Youngstown. Then again, the Steelers do have a tendency to take it easy on the dregs of the NFL.

Will you and the boys be singing Drew Carries song, "Cleveland Sucks" on the road to the mistake on the lake?
Ed Bouchette
2:16
Thank you for reminding everyone of our Facebook LIve gig in the car. It will be early on the morning of the game as we drive up there.
2:17
Last season they played a good Redskins team on the road and won and then beat rival Bengals at home. It took them until the third game to trip over themselves in Philadelphia
2:18
And, here comes the question to that previous answer:
Wisconsin Winters

Ed, It seems to me that the Steelers play their best football later in the season. The suffer head scratching loses early on.  Could there be something they can do early to rectify this? Is it a case that as the weather turns colder, the running game becomes the focus?

Do you think the acquired the TE from SF because they're unhappy with Jesse James?
Ed Bouchette
2:18
Mike Tomlin said the tight ends did not perform well enough for him NOT to make the trade. It wasn't just him as you could see that David Johnson was cut
Kellen

How long until Vance McDonald is the starter?
Ed Bouchette
2:19
Let's see what he has first.
Sheff

Any reason the offense can't score close to 30 points per game?  What's holding them back?
Ed Bouchette
2:19
The preseason is what held them back.

Who starts at slot sunday? Hilton or Gay?
Ed Bouchette
2:19
Hilton, I do believe.

When do we get your prediction for the season?
Ed Bouchette

Traditionally, Sunday morning.

Advice for Steelers players: NEVER USE THE NUMBER 14!!! Right?
Ed Bouchette
2:21
I will have you know that Neil O'Donnell wore that number with pride . . . and then it went to Sammie Coates and Limas Sweed.

Over/under week 3 is when next year draft questions start?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
Nah, they've started already. I just don't answer them.
Ryno
2:22
Were you surprised Big Dan made the cut?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
Yes, I was. I thought it would be Maxey they keep as No. 6, especially with L.T. Walton able to play NT
Hoder
2:22
The 2 week roster exemption for Bell...does that mean when it's up, someone gets cut? If so...who do you think that player might be?
Ed Bouchette
2:23
No, it'll be up this week when they put him on the 53 and someone else goes. Not going to guess at this point because a few other moves could still be made.

Chances of Steelers actually making it past the Patriots this year?
