“It was a pretty big list”, Donald said.

“I’m just an old guy trying to find his way”. “Le’Veon doesn’t like to come out of the game”, Roethlisberger said. Last season’s defensive rookie of the year will face the Steelers for the first time.
Bell admitted that he was not surprised at all by the play of Williams. Last week, he wasn’t able to practice enough for me to decide to play him.
The Steelers are unsettled at center, with Cody Wallace replacing injured Maurkice Pouncey.
In his Tuesday press conference, Tomlin spoke early about the return of the Steelers’ All-Pro rusher (Bell) who led the AFC with 1,361 yards rushing in 2014 and pushed to the top of franchise records as an offensive back with 83 receptions.
“You know what I feel good about?” Ben Roethlisberger completed 21 of 27 passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Steelers. They’re hopeful that once he returns he’ll get back to the dominant ways that saw him haul in eight touchdowns in just 10 games previous year. I knew that while Le’Veon was out that they were going to call on me and I had to answer the bell, and I don’t think we missed a beat.
Check here for more on the Steelers, Williams, Brown and Bell. It also might have something to do with the Steelers getting Le’Veon Bell back. “He did a great job and I can’t wait to tag-team with him”.
Considering how easy Ben Roethlisberger and company made finding the end zone look on Sunday against overmatched San Francisco, there may be no going back.
“We will figure that out as we go”. “It’s another opportunity to put points on the board”.
DIFFERENT OUTCOMES: The Steelers were dominant in a 43-18 rout of the 49ers. But crowd noise, coupled with the way an artificial playing surface complements speed, are going to be issues the Steelers will have to deal with successfully if they hope to win a second straight game after a season opening loss in New England to the Patriots. Only gamble on Lacy if we get positive reports this week and/or if you have James Starks handcuffed.
GET OFF THE FIELD: The Rams have been dominated in time of possession thus far, and had the ball for just 22 minutes, 16 seconds last week. The starting offense would run seven plays from the 2 – the distance of a 2-point conversion – against the starting defense.
Dupree said staying focused on his specific role has been the most significant factor in helping him collect a sack in each of his first two games.
Having shared a practice facility together, Tomlin is very familiar with Rams DT Aaron Donald, the former Pitt star.

Josh Scobee missed his first extra point of the afternoon after the Heyward-Bey touchdown, which brings into question whether the Steelers will go for two most of the time or not.
