At his weekly press conference, Mike Tomlin said the Steelers are going with Dennis Dixon at quarterback and possibly Max Starks at left tackle. Here's the transcript:
Opening Statement: A quick synopsis of our game the other day. My feelings are the same as they were following the game. I’m proud of the team and glad we were able to win. But of course we gotta get better in a lot of areas. That quality of performance is probably not going to be good enough to secure victory this week in a hostile environment versus the Tennessee Titans (http://ten.scout.com/). That’s how it is. We’ve got some days to improve and get better, to better understand what kind of football team we are and what we need to do to win football games and what we need to do to prepare to do it. I thought there were some positives, of course, as there always are. Not going to dwell on those things; we’re going to work on the things we need to improve on because that’s the nature of this journey as we go from Week 1 to Week 2. We expect all football teams, including the team we’re playing, to be better. Week 2, that’s usually the case. The nervousness and unknowing that goes with opening week, is less of an issue in Week 2, so we’ve got to be better. On an injury front, Byron Leftwich (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=4937089) appears to be doing better with his knee sprain. We’re going to give him some work in a limited capacity probably tomorrow and see where we go from there. Casey Hampton (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=4835637), of course, has a hamstring injury. We’re going to watch him closely throughout the week. We’re hopeful that he may be able to do something, but at this point, it’s up in the air at this juncture. Max Starks (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=4835667) has an inversion ankle sprain, which in layman’s terms is a low ankle sprain. I know it was reported as a high ankle sprain. That report was inaccurate. It’s a low ankle sprain. I saw him this morning. He appears to be doing better. He might be able to do something in the latter part of the week and may be able to make himself available in this football game. Hopefully, that’s the case; if not, we’re very comfortable with Jonathan Scott.........
