And what are the chances of losing both of them in the same game, being the immobile (and fragile, in Batch's case) guys that they are?

We don't have any cheerleaders but we do have a few of these \m/...
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:
TCFCLTC-
The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher
1.20 - JC Latham, OT, Alabama
2.51 - Xavier leggette, WR, South Carolina
3.84 - Sedrick Van-Pran Granger, OC, Georgia
3.98 - Andru Phillips, CB, Kentucky
4.119 - Maason Smith, DT, LSU
7.178 -
7.195 -

Call me crazy but if the Steelers are gonna sign some bum off the street I'd rather see them sign Tyler Palko. He started some games for KC last year so at least he know's Haley's system.
The biggest thing to worry about in my mind is the O-line protection. I think they have settled in on a pass pro style that has become effective for Ben. I don't know that their skill set includes protecting QBs that are pretty much immobile.
Getting Dixon back sounds like an interesting idea. Is he signed somewhere?

Byron almost got hurt on his first play. I worry about Byron and Charlie staying healthy.
I'm pretty sure Dixon is on the Ravens practice squad or was earlier this year. Even if he is available, no thank you.
The Tyler Palko idea if the Steelers want to bring in an emergency qb could make some sense, but only as an emergency guy. Charlie Batch is getting older, but the Steelers didn't keep him out of charity. He wouldn't be on the team if the coaching staff and FO didn't think he was capable of playing for a few quarters.
If Batch is in, then it's because Lefty got hurt. It's what happens when Batch then gets injured (after a few quarters) that I'm thinking about. The mobility skills of our 2 back ups makes the likelihood of needing a 3rd guy more than negligible, IMO.
Palko, Dixon ... Slash, Testaverde ... whoever ... I'm thinking that having someone else on the squad that can throw is probably a good idea.
