TAYA REYES FROM ELKO, NV:

I'm very excited to see what the future holds for Josh Dobbs. When the Steelers draft a developmental quarterback, who works with him on his mechanics? Since he's not getting that many reps in practice now, does he stay after or before practice to get work in?

ANSWER: Once the regular season starts, each NFL team's focus shifts from development to preparing for the upcoming opponent to put the team in its best position to win that week's game. That's because the NFL is all about wins and losses, and coaches who might consider spending time on development instead of planning and practicing to defeat that week's opponent would find themselves fired before the players they had spent time developing had developed enough to help them win. That's why Mike Tomlin believes in training camp and keeping the preseason at four games per team, because that's the time when a player such as Josh Dobbs can get work on his mechanics and then get the repetitions in practices and game situations to hone those mechanics. And for the Steelers, the man working with Dobbs on his mechanics is quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner.

MIKE HENRY FROM HAGERSTOWN, MD:

Is Cam Sutton on the injured reserve list for the year, or can he come off in eight weeks?

ANSWER: Each team is now permitted to have two designated-to-return players come off their injured reserve list, and Cam Sutton would qualify because he was on the original 53-man roster before the Steelers put him on injured reserve. If all goes well, Sutton would be eligible to return to practice after six weeks on IR, and then he could return to the field for the Steelers after eight weeks, which would make him eligible for the game against Indianapolis on Nov. 12.

STEVE RANDALL FROM TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA:

The Steelers placed Cam Sutton on the reserve/injured list. Sutton can be designated to return to the 53-man roster after eight weeks. While he's inactive, is he still allowed to practice with the team during that time?

ANSWER: During the first six weeks that he's on injured reserve, Cam Sutton would be able to attend meetings and rehabilitate his injury. He is not allowed to practice. After he has been on the injured reserve list for six weeks, then Sutton could return to practice for two weeks before the Steelers would have to make a decision on whether to bring him back to the 53-man roster.

MARK GOLDMAN FROM MOUNT KISCO, NY:

Did William Gay play at all vs. the Browns?

ANSWER: James Harrison was on the field for four defensive snaps in Cleveland. He was not credited with any statistics.

KEN WALDROP FROM ONTONAGON, MI:

A very noticeable lack of offense throughout the NFL in week one (more than normal). The rules certainly favor the offense. Do you attribute this to anything aside from the usual rust?
