Question: Do you think part of the Steelers' improved performance against Kansas City is due to some of the younger players like Bryant McFadden, Arnold Harrison, and Chris Kemoeatu starting as well as players like Santonio Holmes getting more playing time? Also, as Deshea Townsend and Kendall Simmons get healthy, will they regain their starting spots or will Bill Cowher stay with these young players?

BOUCHETTE: Townsend should return to start at right cornerback in Atlanta and Kendall Simmons may return to start at right guard. They did not beat the Chiefs because of those young players; however, those youngsters played well enough to help them win. They made no major blunders and, under the circumstances, actually played quite well. Harrison will start another game at right outside linebacker this week as both Joey Porter and backup James Harrison mend.
