With two games against the Ravens left and the last game against Miami, even if we do somehow make the playoffs we might be starting at least 7 or more second stringers. The trainers are going to have a lot of bruises and bumps to deal with from now on.

Well, this is what Dixon was drafted for. Here’s to hoping that whoever fills in for Kemo can pick up the blitz.

Sorry Sn0wballz missed this when I posted mine, which I have taken down.

It’ll be interesting to see if they place him IR, because 6 weeks is pretty much the remainder of the season and yet, if we make the playoffs, Batch is an asset to have in case BB goes down (god forbid).

If they do place him on IR, my thoughts are they could stick with Dixon and/or go and sign a veteran guy like Jeff Garcia, or undrafted Rookie Mike Reilly, who they had in during the preseason.

In any case I hope BB gets well soon.

I would really like them to grab Garcia. I think he has a great set of skills that could fit our system. Remember when he almost single-handedly marched Philly to the playoffs in 06? If things seem good with him, I say IR Batch, and grab Jeff.

Anyway, it is going to be a nerve racking week to see who ends up starting this week. I pray to God Ben can make it.

Garcia is available, as is Reilly. Patrick Ramsey is also out there (but do we really want him?) and I wouldn’t rule out a trade (conditional pick?) for Lefty with TB signing Garcia as their no. 3. Brian Brohm signed with the Bills, by the way. Other than that, I guess it’s down to good ole Palko as no. 3 and Dixon as no. 2. I don’t really see anything else, any thoughts guys?

Batch should become QB coach

Unfortunately I believe that Batch is just too old to be a consistent back-up anymore. I believe that after this season we should move Dixon in as the #2 QB or keep him as #3 QB and find a replacement for Batch.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that we could still use Batch’s QB expertise as a QB coach?

I say we end this season by saying good bye to both Ken Anderson & Bruce Arians, and finding some decent coaches to help our young offense. I am sick of the same-ole play calling from Bruce Arians game, after game, after game.

Remember the guy who went up against us in preseason and hurdled a Steelers defender? Oh yea we’re about to get him.

jimwexell

Steelers will sign Tyler Palko to their practice squad Tuesday, according to SCI.com’s Mike Prisuta. #steelers

Also:

PART 1: Word @mortreport and I are hearing is that Ben Roethlisberger believes he is fine to play Sunday night at Baltimore. And… about 1 hour ago from web

Adam_Schefter

PART 2: Steelers not looking to sign veteran QB, but a practice squad QB to take reps at practice this week. That’s a sign Ben could be OK.

Adam_Schefter

RT @bryanbrackney any truth about Jeff Garcia and Cleo Lemon tryouts <—-False. No tryouts planned for either in Pittsburgh right now.

So there’s your answers for now, Palko likely to go to PS, unless CB is place on IR.

Cleo Lemon

Undrafted out of Arkansas State in 2001.

After playing on a couple practice squads was traded to the Dolphins. He backed up Joey Harrington (does that say it all right there?) and started once at the end of the season. After Harrington was traded, Trent Green came in and went down to injury. He played alright and didn’t get a win until week 15 (I think that was the 1-15 Dolphins).

Career stats: 15 games played, 8 starts, 55.7 comp%, 2185yds, 8TD, 7INT, 71.8 QBrating, 106 rush yards and 4 rush TDs.

He is not that good really, an okay back up. I’d rather have Jeff Garcia if Ben went down. However, as stated above we signed Tyler Palko.

I agree, I'd rather have Garcia, and I guess we've now got Palko...

I saw Cleo play in those games, my father is a Dolphins fan. While the numbers clearly show one side of the story (1-15 says an awful lot) I saw some flashes of real talent. Not enough that I’d want him starting on Sunday, but, if you give him some time in the system I’d put money on him being a good #2 any day, and as a pinch starter, he’s got game experience, which doesn’t hurt. Remember, that team went 1-15, there wasn’t a lot of talent around him in place to succeed. It’s all a moot point anyway, as we didn’t go in his direction.
