Q: Limas Sweed's hands of stone remind me of Nate's first year or so. Does that give us hope that he will improve enough to be useful next year?

BOUCHETTE: There's always hope. The Steelers helped get him some new eyewear because he had trouble seeing. Maybe they can send him to an orthopaedic hand surgeon next. You see the drops he has in games, we see plenty more in practices. The won't give up on him because he's a second-round pick and it's not like they're deep in wide receivers. I would be surprised, though, if they don't bring in another one for next season.
