Q: How concerned are you with the Steelers' ability to provide adequate coverage for 60 minutes against Cincinnati's receiving Dynamic Duo?

Michael Stewart, Granger, Ind.

BOUCHETTE: They aren't the dynamic Bengals anymore. I assume you are speaking of T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson, a.k.a. Ocho Cinco. T.J. has a lot of receptions, 73, but averages only 9.9 yards per catch. CJ has 41 catches and an average of just 9.3 yards per catch, but tonight he'll average goose eggs because he's sitting for violating an unspecified team rule. The Bengals have the worst-rated offense in the 32-team league and their passing game and running game each ranks 30th. They're not the same without Carson Palmer at quarterback.
