zidanesdagger: DK, assuming the Steelers do the right thing and kick LeGarrette Blount to the curb after his shameful quit-job last night, are they REALLY going to go with only Dri Archer and Le’Veon Bell for the rest of the season? Any potential targets they could sign?

DK: The fact that it’s now early afternoon and nothing has happened leads me to believe nothing will. These things tend to go pretty quickly. If Mike Tomlin was going to cut him over this, it shouldn’t have involved much deliberation.

Welcome to Tuesday 12 Qs, our chat that takes place each week at 1 p.m. — shortly after I cover Mike Tomlin’s press conference at Steelers headquarters on the South Side — and offers you a chance to dictate the discussion.

The format is simple: Use the comments section below to submit an entry. No more than one per person, please. Submit it early if you prefer, and I’ll pick from that batch to get rolling, then monitor new entries once we go live.

UPDATE 1:05 p.m.: Here we go …

Randall Alessi: I’ve heard Ben Roethlisberger and other players mention when asked about continually having issues beating obviously lesser teams how they pay no attention to that team’s current record and such. Do you buy that? If they didn’t know how bad the Jets were, they were the only ones that didn’t!

DK: They know. I think you’re blurring the line between being aware and what an opponent says publicly in the weekly run-up. Those have little in common.

That said, after asking Tomlin just now — for a second time in three days, something I usually don’t like to do — whether or not his history in losing to bad teams on the road might change anything about the preparation this week for the 2-7 Titans, I got still more about the minus-4 turnover differential. Stan Savran immediately followed up by asking if lack of preparation could have led to turnovers, and that got dismissed, too. Because, in Tomlin’s words, the offending parties were Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, who have no trouble getting ready for any game.

I get that turnovers were huge, but I also get that 53 players had a terrible game. As did the entire coaching staff. So laying it on Ben and A.B. is quite the straw man.
