What happens if Batch goes down?

[TarHeelFinFan]

If I recall, Pitt only had Roethlisberger and Batch on the active roster at QB. Is that wrong or have they activated another QB? If not, if Batch goes down who do the Steelers plug in at QB?

I thought I had read somewhere that they resigned St. Pierre, could be mistaken however...but I believe it was to their practice squad anyway...

yah they did and didnt they add omar jacobs to the PS as well ?

we trade them Joey for a first right on the spot...change his jersey, write the plays on his arm and send him in.....

good question TarHeelFan. I wonder when the "game" rosters are posted...anyone know? That would for certain tell us what they have in mind.

not sure...

EDIT: from the responses below I guess he is on their PS as well..I missed that one.

They are in trouble if Batch goes down. Not that i want Batch to get injured but you can bet the Fins will be coming after Batch on passing downs.

yea i know Jacobs is on the PS, but I'm pretty sure they aren't going into the game w/ one QB on the active roster . . . Pierre most likely got placed on the 53 man roster for this week.

Ok, I just found the answer to my question. For anyone who is curious like I was, they signed Brian St. Pierre to the Practice Squad and will activate either him or Omar Jacobs to backup Batch. The decision has not yet been made as far as I have seen.

Here is the link.

No way would they not Activate another QB with no Big Ben. i forget who it is though

I hope they don't get any stupid ideas about taking Culpepper out because Taylor and Thomas have taken out their share of QB's and they'll be left with no one.

Fortunately, von Oelhoffen is no longer on their team....unfortunately, he joined the Jets and we now face him twice this season... dirty or not that shot on Palmer last season still makes me cringe...
